1. *K. incana *( Wall.) Pennell; Limrriu riwuim Wall. (but not sensu F.B.l.) Prostrate. greyish-green. suffrutescent perennial. with many dilfuse branches. Stems to 40cm. slender.* villous with unequal. white. eglandular hairs mostly very short and spreading). 0.5—1 mm. intermixed with some glandular hairs. *Leaves shortly petiolate (petiole 0.5—3mm): *Lamina* ovate or oblong-ovate. upper sometimes deltoid. 3-16 >< 2—12mm. obtuse or subacute, base hastate or obtuse (basal lobes if present very short and spreading), entire or with 2 lateral teeth near base, *eglandular villous on both surfaces. Pedicels 7—19mm. filiform*. *erecto-patent* *+/-straight *except for abruptly reflexed tip. *Calyx* lobes linear-lanceolate. c 3.5 >< 0.7mm. scarious-margined. shortly *eglandular-villous*. *Corolla yellow. 5.5-7mm (excluding spur). densely pilose outside; spur 2-3mm.* Capsule subglobose. 2.5—4mm: seeds 0.35—0.5mm. tuberculate. Bhutan: C — Tashigang district (Tashigang—Yadi). Roadside rocks and cliff slopes in very arid valley. 800—950m. October. 4. *K. ramosissima *(Wall.) Janchen; Linaria ramosissima Wall. Fig. 93c. Prostrate suffrutescent perennial. Stems to 40cm. slender. *glabrous except near base. Leaves* ovate or narrowly ovate. occasionally almost orbicular in outline. 5—25 >< 2 25mm. acute. base obtuse or hastate. sometimes with small lateral teeth just above base. *usually glabrous*. *Pedicels 8—12mm +/- straight* except for recurved distal end. filiform. *Calyx* linear-lanceolate. 3—3.5mm. gradually acuminate upwards from scarious-margined base. *Corolla pale yellow with brown spots in throat. c 7mm* *excluding spur. hairy outside and inside; spur c2mm. *Capsule subglobose. 2.5—3mm; seeds dark brown. covered with barbate tubercles. Bhutan: C - Tashigang district (Cha Zam near Tashigang and Tashigang Yadi). Dry rock-faces in arid valley and on rocks by roadsides. 900—1000m. June-October. *A very variable species. much confused in the literature. which needs further taxonomic study. The description applies to plants from the E Himalaya only.* Yamazaki's record of this species from Punakha district (Wangdu Phodrang (71)) almost certainly refers to K. membranacea. Used in Uttar Pradesh as a cure for diabetes (352). Based on this and following a broader picture due to variability of K. ramosissima, I will try to rectify the identifications where ever possible. Pl. point out if you find any mistake. On Mon, 3 Aug 2020 at 14:36, J.M.
