This species is very nearly related to F. denudata, of wl.Mi it has all the characters
of corolla except that the filaments here are glabrous, while those of P. «re
all hirsrto. But m habit it repeats all the characters of P. ¡„to- farad,,, i„st a,
P. denudata in habit repeats those of P. instar VAR. ti/pica.

There is only one gathering of tins species at Calcutta, from which the present
description is elaborated. It repeats in every detail the habit of P. imtar VALI. tí/pica,
and has the same calyx and almost the same capsule and seeds. The corolla,
however, is very like that of P. pol/f^alaides, the oaly differences being a rather lower
staminal insertion and hirsute filaments.

This account of P. nmllie is based on the examination of 89 speoimens. The colour
seems to deepen as the localities are situated more and more towards the east, Joe^ri
and Cbumbi specimens having dark purple corollas, Ladak ones pale pink corollas. l°lie
species „ closely alhed, as Mr. Maximowic. shows, to the Baaeaeieae; but though it has
a low staminal insertion, the corolla tube appears to me to deserve bein.. spoken of a,
infract ratlier than 'incurved' at the apex-the diiference after all is only one of
degree; it certanjy is not straight. The figure copied from Bat. Mag., I.e., has the
advantage of having been drawn from a fresh flower.
