 one side. Corolla very pale pink, lower lip about i in. oroad. Capsule J in. long, 

 ovate-lanceolate, nearly straight, acuminate, twice as long as the calyx. Seeds ^^ iu. 

 long, ellipsoid, acute, most minutely reticulate, black. 



Vae. integrifolia ; leaves broadly ovate or rounded irregularly toothed or lobulate, 

 calyx villous, corolla red-purple. Pedieularis n. 30, Herb. lad. Or, H.f. Sf T. — Sikkim,

 flexuous branched branches long curved, leaves scattered small petioled 

 oblong pinnatitid lobes few incised, flowers axillary, long pedicelled, pedicels 

 recurved in fruit, capsules pendulous.

Stems a toot long, as thick as a sparrow's quUI, curving. Leaves far apart, 

 J— Iby i— 1 in., flaccid, lobes 3-4 pair, rather distant; petiole as long as the blade. 

 . Calijx ^ in. long, mouth oblique, lobes short crenate. Capsule | in. long, oblong, 

 acute,* slightly oblique, bait exserted, shorter than the decurved slender pedicel. 

 Seeds ^ iu, long, slender,,acute at both ends, obscurely striate, pale. — A remarkable 

 species. 



33. P. fissa, Tnrcz. P ; Benth. in DC. Prodr. x. 571 ; stem stout simple 

 leafy pubescent or glabrate, leaves all petioled lanceolate bipinnatisect 

 segments small cartilaginous toothed, spikes dense-fld. villous, bracts long 

 leaf-like lanceolate crenate, calyx-teeth broad obtuse entire, corolla-tube 

 longer than the calyx, upper lip linear-oblong incurved acutely 2-fid hardly 

 beaked, lower glabrous. 



N. Kashmib ; Dras, alt. 10-11,000 ft., Henderson. — Disteib. Altai, Dahuria. 



Stem (iu the solitary ludiau specimen) 8 in., stout, strict. Radical leaves 4-5 in., 

 puberulous beneath ; petiole very slender, as long as the blade ; cauline similar. 

 Spike 2 iu. long ; lower bracts pinnatisect, middle ones 3-fid ; lobes lanceolate, crenate, 

 longer than the calyx ; flower 1 in. long. Calyx \ in., ventricose, woolly, nerves 

 strong ; teeth lanceolate, entire. Corolla quite glabrous ; upper lip | in. long, 

 tip rounded in front; lower shorter broadly 3-loded. Mlaments glabrous. — This 

 closely resembles several other species of the comosa group, which, with F.fissa, 

 may ultimately prove forms of P. comosa, Linn., itself, as may P. lasioslachys, Bunge, 

 rubens, Steph., and venusta, Schangin. From the typical P. comosa it ditl'ers in the 

 villous calyx, glabrous filaments, and in the lower lip not being ciliate (the latter of 

 which characters seems often wanting in Siberian specimens of comosa). 



** Upper lip of the corolla rounded at the tip, not beaked.
