We have but few specimens of this very distinct-looking species. It has many 

 characters in common with C. rutcefolia, but differs much in size and habit, the nar- 

 row apices of the outer petals, winged posticous petal, and in the short pedicels of 

 the flowers. The petioled leaves, shape of petals, the flowers not being umbellate, 

 and their colour, distinguish it at once from C. Kashmiiiana.

 apices petalorum superiorum utrinque notati. Sepala squama;formia. 



A leafless slender species, which cannot be confounded with any other. The ra- 

 ceme is generally many-flowered, but in weak specimens only a few flowers are pro- 

 duced.

 tripinnatisectis, segmentis linearibus acutis integris v. varie sectis, ra- 

 cemo multifloro, bracteis elongatis linearibus pedicellos superantibus, 

 calcare florem superante. — C. epithymifolia (errore typograpliico), Val- 

 pers, Rep. i. 120. 



Hab. In Himalaya ocoidentali teraperata, Garhwal, Munro ! Kuna- 

 war, Jacquemont ! Royle I — (Fl. Apr. Mai.) (y. «.) 



Radix fusiformis, crassa. Caulis scapusve 3-poIl. ad pedalem, crassiusculus, om- 

 nino aphyllus et ebracteatus. Folia radicalia scapo tequilonga, petiolus basi vagi- 

 nans, lamina 1-4 unc. longa, circumscriptione late ovato-rotundata, subirregulariter 

 bitripinnatisecta, segmentis panels erassiusculis, magnitudine variis, exemplaribus in 

 Garhwal lectis CEeteris multoties latioribus; piunis primariis longe petiolulatis. Ra- 

 cemus subdensiflorus. Braclem interdum 1-i-pollicares, racemum totum superantes, 

 rarius pedicellis breviores. Flores pollicares, sulphurei. Fetala apice purpurea ; 

 exteriora apice cucullata, acuta, dorso incrassata v. alata. 



Apparently a rare species, easily recognized by its long-petioled radical leaves, 

 leafless scape, and very long, linear, entire, green bracts. Munro's specimens have 

 wings on the back of the upper and lower petals, which are not apparent in the Ku- 

 nawar ones, and which, with the much greater breadth of the leaflets, probably are 

 the effect of the damper climate of Garhwal.
