278 D. Prain — Some additional species of Pedicularis. [No. 3, 



tube wliite 18-21 mm., lip white with pink margin, galea rose-pink, ovary 

 ovate lanceolate, stigma exserted. 



Evidently nearly allied to P. crenata Maxim, which differs in hav- 

 ing smaller flowei's (22 mm. in place of 35-38 mm.), calyx not cleft both 

 lobes 2-dentate and not reticulated internally, galea distinctly beaked, 

 lip with ciliate margin, and anterior filaments bearded. 



68. ( — ). P. CoLLETTii Prain. 



Very tall stems purpurascent pubescent terete rigid strict sparingly 

 fastigiately branched towards apex, leaves and bracts coriaceous sub- 

 scabrid ovate acute sessile crenulate serrate, flowers axillary sessile 

 densely spiked, calyx coriaceous oblong densely pilose deeply 2-fid, corolla 

 tube exceeding calyx expanded above glandular ciliate internally, lip 

 widely stipitate 3-fid lobes orbicular equal, galea extei'nally furfuracooua 

 arcuately curved with short truncate beak emarginate at apex, stamens 

 inserted near base of tube filaments rufous yillous at insertion, glabrous 

 above. P. Oollettii Prain in Ann. Roy. Bot. Garden, Calcutta, iii ined. 



B0EMA : Shan hills, Koni, 4000 feet, and Toungyi, 5000 feet, (Col- 

 lett!). 



Stems 120 cm., rootstock stout horizontal, bracts longer than calyx, 

 calyx 14 mm. | cleft in front, 5 behind, segments wide below, lanceolate 

 above, tips obtuse entire, corolla purple tube 16 mm. ovary lanceolate 

 acuminate, stigma exserted. 



A very striking species with considerable affinity to P. eeylauica 

 but with galea larger in proportion to tube and very different foliage 

 and habit. 



69. (37). P. ZETLANICA Benth. ; Maxim., Mel. BioL xii, t. 3, f . 45. 



Insufficiently eepresented. 



70. ( — ). Pedicularis sp with alternate leaves. 

 Manipur : Sirohifurar, (Watt!). 



In leaf only ; certainly not the same as any in the above list ; 

 seems a member of the section " Siphonanthae," and is possibly 

 conspecific with one or other of the Yunnan species of that section. 



[Mr. Maximowicz in a letter received since the above was written 

 says of this plant that it " looks like a Siplionantha or (less so) a 

 Oomosa." He does not recognise in it any of the Yunnan species (of 

 which he has given full descriptions in Mel. Biol, xii) ; it should there- 

 fore be a species yet to be described.]
