 1 in. ; eauline sessile. Spikes l-lj in. broad, top rounded ; flowers and fruit much as 

 in F. porrecta, of vf hich this resembles a iairy form, but the beak is much longer. 



7. P. flezuosa^ Hoolc. f. : slender, sparsely liairy or glabrate, stems 

 flaccid elongate decumbent diflfnsely branched, eauline leaves opposite pe- 

 tioled oMate or oblong 2-piniiatifid lobes sharply toothed, flowers axillary 

 and in lax or dense leafy spikes or heads, corolla-tube f-l^ in., limb large, 

 upper lip erect then inflated with a stout horizontal beak shorter than the 

 lower lip. Pedieularis n. 5, Herh. Ind. Or. H.f.SfT.

Stems 1-2 ft., curved (dwarf forms 6-8 in. also occur), flexnous. Leaves 2-4 in., 

 ovate oblong or oblong-lanceolate, flaccid, irrpgularly toothed. Spikes or racemes 

 usually capitate in flower and fruit, or elongating in fruit ; bracts pinnatifid, longer 

 than the calyx. Calyx \ in., lobes crenulate. Corolla rosy, tube many times longer 

 than the calyx; Umb | in. diara. Cavsule ^\ in. long, ovate-oblong or lanceolate, 

 straight, acute. Seeds IJ in. long, ellipsoid, obtuse, smooth or obscurely reticulate, 

 dark. 



8. P. integrifolia, Sook. f. ; softly glandular-pubescent, stems short 

 stout simple, eauline leaves few opposite sessile oblong obtuse crenulate, 

 flower axillary and in short heads, corolla-tube J in., upper lip large erect 

 then greatly inflated and narrowed into a very long slender flexuous beak.

SiKKiM Himalaya ; Tungu, alt. 12-14,000 ft., J. D. M. 



Hoof stock very stout. Stems 4-6 in. , ascending. Radical leaves crowded, 1 J-2 in., 

 narrowly linear-lanceolate, subacute, margins recurved obscurelv crenate, glandular- 

 pubescent on both surfaces ; eauline erect, J-1 in. Spikes capitate, oblong ; bracts 

 leaf-like, but broad, as long aa the calyx. Calyx J in., lobes crenate. Corolla dark 

 purple, tube twice as long as the calyx ; beak longer than the tube,, flexuous. Capsule 

 not seen. 



** Upper lip of the corolla rounded at the end, not or very shortly 

 heaTced. 



9. P. g'lobifera, SooJc.f.; dwarf, stem stout ascending 4-fariously 

 hairy, leaves whorled short linear-oblong pinnatifid segments crowded cre- 

 nulate, spikes capitate erect or nodding hirsute many- and dense-fld., corolla- 

 tube short, upper lip short erect, tip rounded sbai-ply deflexed acute or shortly 

 beaked. Pedieularis n. 10, Serb. Ind. Or. S.f. Sf T. 



SiKKiM Himalaya; Kongra Lama, alt. 14^15,000 ft., J. D. H. 



Mootstock stout. Stems 2-4 in. Sadiarl leaves 1 in., very shortly petioled, lower 

 eauline sessile, | in. Spikes globose or oblong, top rounded ; bracts as long as the 

 calyx, rounded, crenulate ; flowers i-| in. long. Calyx ^ In. long, hirsute, lobes obtuse, 

 very short. Corolla dark purple ; tube broad, half as long again as the calyx ; upper 

 lip with a sharply inflexed but hardly beaked tip.— The specimens are from one locality 

 only, and not in fruit ; they resemble P. hrevifolia, Don, a good deal, but the flowers 

 are more numerous and denser, and the upper corolla lip is hardly beaked. P. Korol- 

 kowi, Kegel, is another closely allied plant, difiering in the glabrous calyx with longer 

 teeth. " 



10. P. cheilanthifolia, Schrenh in Fisch. §• Mey. JSnum. PL Nov.
