it extends from Jekaterinenburg, on the southern part of the 
Ural Mountains, and Afghanistan on the west, to Ceylon and 
South India, Japan, Java, Australia, and New Zealand.

Hurru (A. Henry, 6585!). Herb. Kew. 
A curious little leafless plaut, not nearly allied to any other 
Old World species. The minute hastate lobes of the lip are 
easily overlooked, unless very carefully searched for; and the 
rostellum is curiously recurved at the apex. A single specimen 
1s at present known.
