A—Specimens of var. lypica;—right hand from Kamaon (Wall. Cat. n. 420 iu
Herb. Oalcutt.); left hand from Chor Nagkauda (Royle).
B—Specimen of var. palans from Ajok valley (Ellis; Flora of Upper Clienab,
n. 1486).
This account of P. pectinata is based on the examination of more than one hundred
flov?ering specimens belonging to 46 different gatherings; flowers from every individual
specimen have been analysed. Plate 23A, which represents a specimeti of Wallich's
original plant, and B, which represents one exactly = P. pxjramidata Herb. Ind. Or. (not of
Royle), rather illustrate extreme forms of a variable species than distinct vaiieties.
With this explanation they are now advanced as affording the simplcsc explanation of
the synonymy of the group to which the species belongs.
P. pyramidata closely resembles this species, and varies equally in habit. But neither
at Calcutta nor at Saharanpur, where both species are very well represented, is there a
single foi-m where the floral structure is intermediate. The diagnosis between the two
species is as follows:—
beak of corolla gradually tapering to middle, then uniformly slendar; tube
hardly longer thaa calyx, saceulate in front at the staminal insertion;
lower half of galea subeiect; stamens inserted opposite top of ovary,
densely pilose at insertion as well as abore . . . . • P. pectinata •
bijak of corolla uniformly slender fi-om its base; tube narrow, straight, half
exceeding calys, not saceulate; lower half of galea inclined forwards;
stamens inserted above middle of tube, glabrous at insertion and only
Bparingly bii'sute above j, pyramidata-.
Iu floral structure P. pectinata is more nearly allied to P. tenuirostris than to
P. pyramidata; P. tenuirostris has the same peculiar transverse furrow at the staminal
msertion (a character so far peculiar to these two species), and has identical stamens •
Its only diagnostic marks are its yellow (not purple) corolla, its more slender beak'
Its denser spike, and its less incised sessile cauline leaves. The capsules, and more
especially the seeds, in these three species are scarcely distinguisliable {see Plate 37)
