A—Specimen of VAK, typioa from Gui-az in Kashmir (Falconcr).
„ „ '«¿ei'oyiosi« from Tchri-Garbwal (Duthie, n. 232).
" » ,) „ Gosain Than in Nepal (Scully, n, 157).
This account cf P. Oeicri is based on an examination of 12 Scandinavian specimens,
17 Swiss specimens, 4 Altai specimens, and 51 Panjab Himalaya and Kashmir specimens
of TAB. typiea, flowers from 81 different specimens having been dissected : of TAB. heieragloisa
flowers from 32 specimens of the Kamaon form have been dissected, and from 12" specimens
cf the Nepal form.
The species is most nearly allied to P. Allerti and to P. flammea. Prom the first
it is easily diagnosed :—
leaf segments ovate obtuse, anterior filaments bearded p. Oeileri •
loaf segments acuminate pinnatifld, all filaments glabrous p. Alberii
From the second it is not so easily diagnosed by the naked eye, since certain forms of
both haTC the same habit and foliage ; P. Oeicri is usually, but by no means always laroer
and more robust than P. flammea. None of the earlier authors give certain diao-nostìo
charactcrs, and the precise diagnosis (stated chronologically) is as follows : - a l l stamens
glabrous in P. Jlammea, while anterior pair ia P. Oeieri are hirsute-Bun-e (18471
Heiehenbach /. (1862), Hasimowic. (1S77) ; anthers less maticons in P. Jl„„„eal
Eeichenbach /. (1862); seeds in F. flan«nea fulvous and narrowly ovate, in P Oeieri
cylmdrie-OTate half as broad again and ash-grcy-Lange (1870). To these character,
may be added : - anthe r s with long axes oblique in P. flammed, horizontal in P. Oei„-i
The diagnosis is therefore as follows :—
aullur, horizontal, anterior filament. Mrsuts, teed» tylindrio ovate P Oederian.
hora oblique, .11 filaments glabrous, seeds elongate o.dd p. jt,„,„'„_
The Kashmir and W. Tibet plant is the same as the Dahurian form, havin<r the
calyx hirsute with its teeth, except the upper, serrate; the lobes of the lip are entu-e as
in the Scandinavian and Arctic form (P. Oederi Vail "genuina"), where the calvx is
a so hirsute, but all the calyx teeth are entire, and not emarginate as in the Swiss
