Specimen from Sikkim (Jaffi-ey).
Tbe account of P. sehisorrhynclui is based on an examination of 73 specimens.
This species repeats the habit and foliage of P. chumbica, to which, however, it is not
very closely related; the diagnosis has been already given. This seems an oppositeleaved
Rostrata rather than a truly Orthorrhijnchous species.

A—Specimen of VAR. typica from Phar i (Lama Ujyen Gyatsko n. 45).
B— „ ,, tihetica from Do-tho.
This account of P. alaschanica is, as regards VAR. tijpiea, based on the examination
of one Chinese specimen (E. Kansu, Botanin; 1885, kindly sent by Mr. Maximowicz)
and 10 specimens from Phari—all gathered by the Lama Ujyen Gyatsko. Mr. Maximowicz
describes the filaments as glabrous in the Alaschan specimens, but in the Chinese
one and in all those from Phari, of both varieties, the anterior filaments are hirsute.
The specimens, of which one has been figured, here treated as examples of VAR. typica
are, as regards calyx, clearly referable to that variety, but as regards beak are
intermediate between the two varieties recognised by Maximowicz. With a more extensive
suite of specimens from Southern Tibet, it may become necessary to merge the
varieties in one. The species has no near Indian ally, the nearest species being the
Siberian P. myriophylla, the Chinese P. eurviiuba, and the Japanese B. Ckamissonis.
Of VAII. tibetica proper I have examined 6 specimens, all of one gathering.
