Stems short puberulous several from rootstock, leaves long petioled 

 radical few finally evanescent cauline 1-2 alternate pinnatisoct segments 

 pinnatifid, flowers few axillary rather crowded shortly pedicelled, calyx 

 campanulate, corolla tube twice as long as calyx slightly widened above, 

 lip 3-lobed lobes ovate later I exceeding central, galea 2-dentate slightly 

 inflated widely arcuately curved beak straight apex emarginate, stamens 

 inserted in middle of tube anterior filaments densely hirsute throughout 

 posterior sparsely hirsute below glabrous above. P. odontophora Prain

 Pbari, Do-tho, (Dr. King's collector !). 



Rootstock creeping with squamous nodes and crowned with scales, 

 stems 2-4 cm. calyx 7 mm. 6-toothed teeth entire upper tooth and lower

 [1143 Journ.] !). 



Gilgit and W. Tibet gatherings quite agree with specimens of P. 

 doUcJiorrhiza received from St. Petersburg ; it is not possible to separate 

 P. cahulioa from P. dolichorrhiza even as a variety. 



* * Upper lip sliortly or not beaked.
