262 D. Pi-ain — Some additional Species of Pedicularis. [No. 3, 



P. Boylei ; bracts pinnatisect or -partite, calyx deeply toothed hardly 

 cleft upper tooth entire the others serrate, corolla tube bent ia the mid- 

 dle obtusely, filaments inserted near middle of tube all glabrous anthers 

 ovate acute, capsule ovate acuminate \ exserted, seeds 1-25 mm. pale 

 distinctly reticulated: P. verticillata ; bracts ovate subentire, calyx hard- 

 ly toothed cleft to the middle margin entire, corolla tube abruptly bent 

 at junction of middle and lower third filaments inserted opjiosite top of 

 ovary anterior pair hirsute anthers broadly elliptic muticous, capsule 

 lanceolate acute more than | exserted, seeds 2 mm. nigrescent minutely 

 reticulated. 



Reichenbach/., (Icon. Fl. Oerm., t. 1762, /. 1-14) unfortunately 

 omits the always present hairs from the anterior stamens of P. verli- 

 cillata. Lange {Bot. Tidskr. Kjob. iv, t. 2, /. 3) figures the seeds of P. 

 verlicillata, which differ markedly from those of P. Roylei, very exactly. 



21. ( — ). P. OPHIOCEPHALA Maxim. 



Stems sparsely hirsute erect or ascending simple few leaved, leaves 

 pinnatipartito lanceolate segments oblong subacute incised serrate radical 

 long petioled caespitose cauline short petioled 2-4-natcly whorled, calyx 

 campanulate hardly cleft, corolla tube obtusely bent in middle expanded 

 upwards longer than calyx, lip 3-lobed lobes obcordate emarginate 

 lateral | exceeding central, galea slightly curved apex subacuminate, 

 stamens inserted below middle of tube filaments glabrous. P. opJiio- 

 eepliala Maxim., Mel. Biol, xii, t. 5, f. 94. 



Noeth-West Himalaya : Kamaon, 13-17,000 feet, Ralam Valley, 

 Bidang and Lebang, (Duthie !) ; W. Nepal, Nampa Gadh, (Reid !). 



Rootstock slender or stout crowned with scales, steins 6-15 cm., 

 •whorls 3-5-flowered usually approximate, calyx 9 mm. 5-toothed nerves 

 pubescent upper tooth lanceolate or deltoid entire the others subequal 

 serrate, corolla rod tube 12 mm., staminal insertion a little above tojj of 

 ovary, ovary ovoid disc anteriorly thickened, stigma exserted. 



22. (12). P. DENUDATA Hook./.; Maxim., Mel. Biol, xii, 867. 



23. (35). P. POLYGALOIDES Hook. /. ; Maxim., Mel. Biol, xii, 881, 

 t. 5, f. 113. 



This species, which has opposite leaves and repeats the habit and 

 foliage of P. inslar VAR. pamdoxa, bears the same relationship to P. 

 dermdata which that variety bears to P. in-star var. tijpioa, except that 

 the stamens of P. polijgaloides are all glabrous those of P. denudata all 

 hirsute. 



24. ( — ). P. GiBBERA Prain. 



Dwarf branched from the base stems prostrate 2-fariously haii\y, 

 leaves few radical evanescent cauline opposite distant ovate pinnati- 

 partite segments pinnatifid petioles very long, bracts foliar, flowers
