A very distinct species, most nearly allied to the Himalayan 

 C. alpina, Hook, f., which, however, has smaller, very differently 

 coloured flowers and a much shorter spur. The flowers of the 

 present species appear to be a somewhat uniform rose-purple. 

 The lip is much like that of some species of Galeandra, except 

 that its margins are adnate to the sides of the column.

Pratt, 305. 



A most distinct species, with the habit of H. Aitchisoni, 

 Echb. f., but with fewer and many times larger flowers and 

 erect lateral sepals. This nevertheless appears to be its true 

 affinity .
