P . rhinanthoides flowers in June in Alatau, in July in Hindu-Kush, and in August
in the Himalaya; tlie flowers are purple or piok, sometimes pale rose; in one gathering
it is noted as having -white flowers with salmon-colourod spots.

This description of P. longiflora is based on an examination of 109 separate specimens
and on the dissection of flowers from specimens of 53 different gatherings.
P . tubiformis Klotzsch is only a tall form of the species.
Of 40 gatherings at Calcutta, where the colour of the corolla has been noted, 31 are
yellow-flowered, two Sikkim gatherings have white flowers, and one from Kang-raa in
Phari has yellow tube and lip with purple galea. Mr. Maximowicz finds that the lower
lip of specimens from Burchan-Budda in N. Tibet has two cuneate purple marks,
and the same thing is seen in some of the Calcutta specimens from Jongri.
Of Indian species this comes nearest to P . siphonantha; the diagnosis is as follows: —
an lobes of lip emarginata, galoa throat 2-sinuato, all filaments hirsute P. longiflora •
only central lobe distinctly emarginate, galea tliroat 2-dentatfi, onlj
antei-ior filameuta hirsute
Fruiting specimens also are easily diagnosed; in P. longiflora the capsule is sinuate
anterioriy and the seeds are black, striate, but not reticulated; in P. siphomntha tlie
capsule is not sinuatsj the seods are pale and distinctly reticulated,
Of estra-Iiidian species P. ehinmsis Maxim., a distinct species in habit, stature
leaves, and calys much like certain terms of F. viegahntha, comes near to this but
differs in having the lateral lobes of the lip rounded, not truncate, and in havin» the
apex of the beak of corolla entire. A specimen of the original gathering of P eMmmis
has been kindly sent to Calcutta by Mr. Maximowicz. Certain specimens from North
Chma (Potauin, ISSo) issued as "P. chinensis" from the St. Petersburg Herbarium are
however, only P. tuhifirmi, Klotzsch, and therefore are merely tall forms of P lonamj,
Kudolph. '
The only author who has followed Steven in giving Fischer's name for the species
and who has at the same time quoted Rudolph's name (as a synonym), has been Walpers!
He (i«. has taken the deliberate, if somewhat unusual, step of indicating that the
name which he keeps subordinate was published in ISll, and at the same time shows
that he supposes the name which he accepts to have been first published in Steven's
work, i.e., in 1823, or 13 years later than the date of his synonym.
