tij^nca margin crennlate central lobe ovate lanceolate, galea | longer 

 than in yah. typica as narrow as tube. Dr. Scully's Nepal gathering 

 differs considerably ;— calyx glabrescent all the teeth with ovate ex- 

 panded tips, corolla lip 3 times as large as in tar. typica margin entire 

 lobes orbicular, galea narrower than tube. The greatest difference is 

 in the much larger lip ; perhaps tar. lieteroglossa should be considered 

 a species distinct from P. OeJeri with the Nepal plant as a definite 

 variety of this new species. 



65. ( — ). P. Prainiana Maxim. 



Erect strict stout hirsute stem leafy simple, leaves oblong linear 

 sessile deeply pinnatifid segments oblong acute deeply irregularly

 calyx campanulate hirsute, corolla tube slightly exceeding calyx, lip 

 3-fid lobes obovate equal margins ciliate, galea sparsely hairy navicular 

 beakless, stamens inserted in middle of tube filaments glabrous. P. 

 I'rainiana Maxim., Mel. Biol, xii, 844, t. 3, f. 66. 



Eastern Himalaya : Chumbi, at Lu-ma-poo, (Dr. King's collec-

Stem 30-40 cm., upper bracts shorter than flowers, calyx 16 mm. 

 6-toothed upper tooth entire deltoid the others lanceolate serrate, corolla 

 yellow tube 17 mm., galea rounded in front hiant, ovary ovoid, stigma 

 exserted ; capsule not seen. 



Eepeats habit and foliage of P. ClarJeei. Is nearly allied to P. 

 rudis Maxim, and was originally distributed from Calcutta under that 

 name ; it is, however, as Mr. Maximowicz points out, perfectly distinct.
