260 D. Prain — Sovte additional Species of Pedicularis. [No. 3, 



Eastern Himalaya : Cliumbi, 11,000 feet, at Pan-ka-be-soe-rao and 

 Tan-ka-la, (Dr. King's collectors !) ; E. Nepal, at Poy-kiong-la, (Mr. 

 Pantling'a collectors !). 



Stems short 8-12 cm. or elongate 20-25 cm. branching from base, 

 calyx 6 mm. 5-toothed teeth entire npper lanceolate acnte the others 

 ovato obtuse, corolla pink tube 8 mm., beak 10 mm., ovary ovate lanceo- 

 late, stigma exserted, capsule 12 mm. narrowly lanceolate | exserted, 

 seeds 2 mm. acutely ovate minutely reticulated. 



Like a slender glabrous form of P.flexuosa from which, however, it 

 is easily distingTiished by the nonserrate calyx teeth, the entire apex of 

 beak, and the much shorter corolla tube. 



14. ( — ). P. Gammieana Prain. 



Stems sparingly branched from base villo-pubescent, cauline loaves 

 2-3 pairs small shortly petiolcd ovate oblong obtuse 2-pinnate, bracts 

 sessile pinnatipartite, flowers few subcapitate, calyx campanulate 

 shortly pedicelled, corolla tube more than twice as long as calyx, lip 3- 

 lobed lobes depressed rounded lateral twice as large as central, galea 

 arcuate beak straight short deeply emarginate, stamens inserted in mid- 

 dle of tube anterior filaments bearded above. P. GarrDiiieana, Pralu 

 in Ann. Roy. Bot. Garden, Calcutta, iii ined. 



Easibew Himalaya: Lang-mang-nang-zo, 10,000 feet, (Pantling!). 



Stems in the solitary Calcutta gathering 6-8 cm., roots simple 

 fibrous slender, radical leaves 0 cauline very small 5-8 mm. by 2-4 mm., 

 calyx 7 mm. deeply 5-toothed npper tooth lanceolate entire smaller than 

 the others with narrow entire bases and expanded elliptic acutely serrate 

 tips, corolla purple tube 16 mm., beak 4 mm., ovary ovoid apex acute, 

 stigma exserted. 



The corolla differs from that of P. binaria Maxim, only in having the 

 lower lip eciliate and the central lobe of lip less depressed but the habit 

 of this Himalayan plant is quite unlike that of Maximowicz' Szetschuan 

 plant. 



15. ( — ). P. SCHIZOERHYNCHA Prain. 



Dwarf stems tufted slightly pubescent, leaves long petioled oblong 

 lanceolate acute pinnatipartite segments lanceolate serrate- dentate 

 radical densely caespitose cauline opposite 1-paired or 0, bracts foliar 

 petioled, flowers few subcapitate pedicels short, calyx tubular slightly 

 cleft nerves pubescent, corolla tube slightly exceeding calyx, lip 3-partito 

 margin ciliate lobes subobovato lateral slightly larger than central, galea 

 arcuate snbinflated beak short straight apex truncate bifid segments 

 laciniate, stamens inserted above middle of tube anterior filaments dense- 

 ly hirsute. P. scMzorrhynclia Prain in Ann. Roy. Bot. Garden, Cal- 

 cutta, iii ined.
