Wallich mentions a plant of tills species wliicli flowered in tlie 

 Botanic Gardens, Calcutta, in 1816, and from whicli the drawing 

 in the ' Plantse Asiaticcc Eariores,' tab. 250 was made. This species, 

 though it is still cultivated in the garden, seems never to have 

 flowered again. I saw it abundantly in flower in a hot subtro- 

 pical valley near Darjeeling in October 1863. 



Ail the plants of this species at Darjeeling have leaves beauti- 

 lully marked on the upper surface with regular lines of white 

 blotches, as in the plant cultivated in the Botanic Gardens, Cal- 

 cutta. This marking is very faint, and almost disappears in the 

 aned specimens. I think I can trace the colouring on the leaves 

 01 all the specimens referred by IN'ees von Esenbeck to ;S^. mona- 

 (fcljf)hus and 8. ^etiohris.
