All the above-cited examples from China are very young. I 
believe they have been correetly referred here by Baker aud 
Moore ; but I could hardly have ventured to name them myself.

James’s Moukden collections show the utricles nearly ripe ; 
the species is described solely from these. The remainder of the

The var. angustior may indicate a new species, all the examples 
being young; the male spike is similar in all.
