faintly streaked and tinged with pink. Corolla-tnbe hardly longer 
than the calyx ; upper lobe 1J in. long, the margin indexed, form- 
ing a narrow, flattened, pointed hood ; lateral lobes linear-lanceo- 
late. Lower staminode If x 1^ in., obscurely 3-lobed, spreading, 
notched at the tip. 
Simla, Mahasu ; August. — W. Himalaya, up to 10,000 ft. 
The Simla plant is certainly that represented in Hooker’s Exot. Flor. tab. 
144, under the name of B. purpurea, Smith. But the true B. purpurea, Smith, 
figured in his Exot. Bot. ii. t. 108, and in the Bot. Mag. t. 4630, has dark 
purple flowers and a deeply-lobed lower staminode. It is apparently an Eastern 
Himalayan form, and does not occur at Simla. A name is therefore re- 
quired for the Simla species, and I have taken B. procera, Wallidi, figured in 
his PI. As. Bar. t. 242, and reduced in the El. Br. Ind. to a variety of B. 
purpurea.
