D—Fruiting specimen of same gathering (Herb. Saharanpur).
The characters by which the two varieties of tliia species are separated are not
a t all reliable in other species of the genus, and probably will be found untenable here
when more material is available for study. The present description is based on the
examination of three specimens (two gatherings) of the typical plant, one specimen
being an original one which Dr. Garcke has kindly sent to Calcutta, and 17 specimen»
(mostly in Herb. Saharanpur) of five separate gatherings of VAR. lutescens.
I t appears to be a local species, but Mr. Duthie informs me that it is abundant
where it occurs; he tells me also that the two varieties grow side by side, and it did
not occur to him in the field that they could be the same plant.

PLATE 9. A—C; figs. 1—7.—Pedicularis Scullyana Pmn.
A—Specimen from Gossain Than, Nepal.
B— ,, ,, Pey-kiong-la, Jongri.
C—Fruiting specimen from Bijan, on the Sikkim-Nepal frontier.
Tlie account of B. Seullyana is based on the esamination of 55 specimens in flower and
fruit. It is most nearly allied to B. macrantha, from which it differs by its much hifger
flowers, its smaller mid-lobe of lip and mudi shorter beak. This, and not B. macrantha,
is the Nepal species sent to Calcutta by Scully. Wallich's specimens were mixed, not by
Wallich himself, but by Don ! vjiúi B. megalantha; a sheet of this, named "P. megalantha''
by Don himself and distributed "ex herb. R. Brown," is in the Calcutta herbarium.
The Jongri specimens have stouter stems than Scully's specimens, but not than Wallich's
Nepal one. In both the Nepal gatherings the corolla is somewhat more abruptly
beaked than it is ia any of the Jongri ones.
