This is Goodyera discolor, which has been cultivated in 
gardens ever since 1818, and was at first reported to have 
come from Brazil. The leaves are uniformly deep dull purplish 
green above and reddish purple beneath. Recently one or more 
Malayan species with silvery veined leaves have been cited as 
synonymous, though they appear to represent distinct but 
closely allied species. Hamaria argyroneura, Miq. Choix PI. 
t. 16, cited in the Flora of British India, vi. p. 101, is, however, 
-Macodes argyroneura, Rolfe, in Kew Bulletin (1896), p. 47.
