This seema to be quite distinct from A, setaceus in its lon^ 

 ftlender stem, loose inflorescence, very long fringes to the lip, 

 which is distinctly auriculate near the middle, and in the Want of 

 coloured veins on the leaves.

The specimens from Khasia have the fringes on the lip much 

 shorter than in those from Sikkim and Assam, but I see nothing 

 else by which to separate them. The sac of the lip is very short 

 and almost hemispherical; the leaves are nearly as long as the flower 

 stem, and rather unequal-sided. Lip white with brown fringes.

 Two conical yellow processes in front of the yellow column. In-

 ^ Dr. Hooker's drawings.

A much larger plant than any other, with flowers in long loose 

 spikes. Sepals spreading, green with rose-coloured veins; lip 

 '^tite, with a tinge of pink ; anther crimson ; column yellow, with 



conical nrocesses in front. Inodorous.

No specimen of this exists in the herbarium, but there is a 

 drawing in Mr. Cathcart's portfolio. The lip is white, with dirty 

 purplQ notches in the room of firinges, the number of which is 

 much greater than in the Assam plant, from which the species
