Rootstock slender, stems as thick as goose quill strict 30-40 cm. 

 calyx 8 mm. nerves densely pilose 5-toothed not cleft teeth large upper 

 deltoid entire others orate incised serrate, corolla red-parplo tube 8 mm., 

 beak 8 mm. inner lobe of apex segments larger, capsule 1 7 mm. broadly 

 lanceolate acuminate \ esserted, seeds 2 mm. ovate acute black hardly 

 reticulated. 



Very similar and nearly allied to P. furfnracea Wall, but with less 

 incised leaves and more rigid thicker stems. The diagnosis is as 

 follows:- — P . furfnracea ; calyx glabrous f cleft in front 5-or 3-toothed 

 teeth minute, or margin not toothed, corolla pale pink or white tube some- 

 what longer than calyx, lobes of lip all truncate emarginate eciliate, , 

 galea glabrous throat 2-sinuate apex of beak deeply bifid segments emar- 

 ginate outer lobes large ovate, filaments glabrous, capsule narrowly 

 lanceolate acuminate f exserted ; P. Pantlingii; calyx hirsute not cleft 

 5-toothed teeth large, corolla dark-purple tube not exserted, lobes of lip 

 rounded entire margin ciliate, galea furf uraceous throat entire apex of 

 Ijeak less deeply bifid segments emarginate outer lobes triangular 

 minute, anterior filaments puberulous, capsule wide lanceolate acuminate 

 "2 exserted. The flower and fruit in P Pantlingii are larger than in P. 

 fxirfuracea, in which calyx is 6 mm., corolla 10 mm., capsule 14 mm.
