Tliere is only one gathering of this species. The plant exactly repeats the habit
and foliage of P. Clarkei; as regards corolla it is closely allied to P. rudii, for which
it was at first taken. It is, however, as Mr. Blaximo-wicz has shown, perfectly distinct;
t h e diagnosis is as follows:—
corolla tute glabrous, galea dilated in front with sides TÌIIOUS, lip narrowly
cuneate-obovate 3-fid shorter than galea with lobes obovate . . . . P. Prainiana;
corolla tube puberulous, galea equally -wide throughout with margin
villous, lip broadly ovate 3-lohed equaUing the galea with lobes
rounded

The material of this species 'is not very adequate, but it is impossible to associate
it with any of the known species of the genus. The corolla differs from that of B.
binaria only in having the lower lip eciliate and the central lobe of the lip 1
t h e habit and foliage of B. binaria are, however, so very dissimilar that it is i
to unite it with that species. It is not unlike a dwarfed condition of P. fiezuosa with
whorled instead of opposite and with much more incised leaves ; it has, however, a
deflexed and more deeply emarginate beak; the calyx, besides, is very different. The
species that it most closely resembles is P . odontojihora, from which it is, however, at
once diagnosed by the absence of teeth on the corolla throat and by the leaves being
whorled and not alternate. It is peculiar among Indian species in its time of flowering,
almost the only other species collected so early in the year being P . siphonantha.
