26 135. ORCHIDACEX: EPIDENDRES. 
Allied to the Himalayan Calanthe plantaginea, Lindl., but 
with a more lax raceme and a shorter spur. Dr. Henry ‘records 
the flowers as whitish with a little yellow.

Henry, 11130!). Flowers yellowish. Herb. Kew. 
Sikkim Himalaya. 
There remains a slight doubt about this determination, but I 
fail to distinguish the Yunnan plant from the two cited above, 
which themselves are considered distinct in the ‘Flora of British 
India,’ where, however, they are separated by the interpolation 
of four other quite distinct species, and are not compared together.

a little red and yellow.
