Mussooree, Royle; Lachen in Sikkim, at 11,000-12,000 feet, J. D. H. 
(213), rare. 
Sepals red ; labellum white dabbled with red. Tuber roundish, 
the size of sparrow's egg. Leaves from 5 to 15 inches long. Flowers 
small, somewhat secund. In my sketch of Dr. Royle's plant the 
lip has two distinct parallel carinule terminating opposite the 
re-entering angles of the lip: in the only imperfect flower from 
Sikkim which it has been possible to dissect, the carinule are 
short, broad, and acute; yet the plants are indubitably the same.

lateralibus filiformibus basilaribus interinedio apice lunato crispo basi 
appendice cochleari earnosa instructo.

Habit exactly that of the last. Flowers not a quarter the size ; 
petals broader than the sepals. Pollen-masses 4, globular, per- 
fectly distinct, on the end of a spathulate caudicle, connected with 
an oblong fleshy gland. Capsules pendulous, oval, mucronate, 
not dehiscent in the plant before me. 
175. O. PATENS ; tuberibus ovatis monophyllis in rhizoma approximatis, 
folio (latiore), scapi vagina in medio lineari herbacea patente, labelli 
lobis lateralibus linearibus supra basin enatis carinulis 2 clavatis 
distantibus.— Corallorhiza patens, Lindl. Gen. $ Sp. 535.

Flowers intermediate in size between the two preceding ; lateral 
lobes of the lip springing neither from the base nor above the 
middle, but below the middle. ;

The racemes in the Sikkim plant are short, the flowers are 
rather more fleshy, and the lip shorter than in the southern form.
