atra, pyriformia, rugosa. 
In some of the specimens I find the posticous lobes of the lateral 
petals (which are extremely variable in form and shape) included in the 
spur, as described by Edgeworth ; in others they are free, and I am dis- 
posed to regard the former arrangement as owing to an anomalous 
form of the petals, which are normally simply and shortly 2-lobed, as 
in Т. racemosa and others.

Hab. Sylvis temperatis Himalayx, alt. 8000-10,000 ped.; Kumaon! 
Str. & Wint. (5); Sikkim! J. D. H. (fl. Jul.). (v.v.). 
A tall branched delicate species, with alternate leaves and axillary, 
very long patent filiform arched peduncles, bearing at the very extre- 
mity three to six pale-yellow, narrow flowers, about 14 inch long, a good 
deal like some states of J. leptoceras. The labellum is of the form of a 
cornucopia, being a long slender cone or funnel, with an incurved slender 
spur. The lateral petals are linear, twisted, and аз long as the spurred 
sepal. It differs from I. urticifolia, Wall. (of which I expect it is a 
variety), in the longer peduncles, smaller, more slender flowers, and form
