PLATE 14. C; figs. 15-21.—Pedicularis zeylanica Benth.
Specimen from Ootaeamund (Gamble n. 13510).
This species is desci-ibed from an examination of 31 species. It is = ToTenia incisa
Heyne in Wall. Cat.; a sheet; of Gat. n. 4I6B with 4 specimens is preserved at Calcutta.
I t is well figm-ed in the first edition of Baikie's work on the Nilgliiri Hills. Its close
affinity to P. carnosa has been indicated by Wallich, who issued it (under Heyne's
name) in 1829, in association with P. carnosa from Nepal; by Bentham in DC. Prodr.
I.e., by Wight and by Maximowicz.
The group to wliich it belongs forms a distinct subdivision of the Resupimtce of
Maximowicz {I.e. xii, 830).

PLATE 15. A; figs. 1 — 5.—Pedicularis Collettii Prain.
Specimen from Koni, Shan Hills (Collett, n. 909).
The specics is described from two gathering.s, neither of which unfortunately is
in fruit. It is most nearly allied to the CamoscB group among Indian species ; from
these its habit and foliage at once distinguish it. Its most natural allies are, however, the
Japanese P. yezoensis and the American P. lanceolata. It is, however, one of the most
distinct species of the genus.

PLATE 10. D ; figs. 18—23.—Pedicularis odontophora Prain.
Specimen from Do-tho, 4 miles from Phari.
This very distinct species is described from 14 specimens. Mr. Maximowicz in a
letter has suggested that its place is among the Rostrata;, and this is almost certainly
its true position. It has been placed in the Coispitosw group of the Bostraics series
in the " Conspectus of Affinities, " but it is an aberrant member, and
deserves an independent position.
