Specimen from Miissoorie (G. King in Herb. Calcutt.
This account of P. carnosa is based on the examination of 131 specimens. It is
undoubtedly Rhinanthus hifidus Ham., a sheet of which with 4 specimens and with
Dr. Buchanan-Hamilton's manuscript description aifixed is preserved in the Calcutta
Herbarium. P. lanigera "Wall. (Gat. 419), which in the type set {and in most herbaria) is
P. brcvifolia Don, is, at Calcutta, the woolly conditicm of this' species. Wall. Cat. 418B
CTorenia incisa Ileyne) is, however, P. zeylanica Benth. Its nearest ally is P. crenata
I\Iaxim., diagnosed by its shorter beak, its lip subequally lobed, its anterior filaments
bearded, and its uncleft calyx.

PLATE 14. B ; figs. 9—14.—Pedicularis corymbosa Prain.
Specimen from Pwehla, Shan Hills (Collett n. 52).
This species has been described from an esanxination of 15 specimens. This ''pretty
little red and wliite Pedicularis" as General Coilett has described it in his letters, is very
neai-ly allied to P. crenata Maxim., from which it differs in being beakless and in having a
longer galea, a naiTower lip, glabrous stamens and a cleft calyx. Among Indian species it
is, on the one hand, related to P. carnosa—between which species and this P . crenata stands
intermediate as regards corolla; and, on the other hand, to P. zeglanica—which differs
mainly in having a much shorter corolla-tube and galea. P. corgmhosa stands, in fact,
intermediate between P. crenata and P. zeylanica, and the four species (P. carnosa, crenata,
corgmhosa, seylanica) form an exceedingly natural serially disposed group. The Shan Hilis
plant has stouter and fii-mer leaves than the Maymyo specimens, which precisely repeat
the habit and foliage of Nepalese and Khasia examples of P. carnosa.
The name "P. corymbosa" is, I find, already a synonym, having been applied by
M. Pallas to a plant which that botanist had already named " P. paniculata." Neither
of Pallas' names, Mr. Maximowicz informs me, will ever be received—on their author's
authority—since both the plants are simply states of P. euphrasioidcs.
