front lobe cordate-elliptical, obtuse, fimbriate concave, inflexed at the base 
till the margins meet, side lobes incurved, fleshy, truncate, with two 
acute angles, about a line long; base saccate; sac obtuse, nearly 2 lines 
deep, 1!/ line broad from side to side, but only half as broad from front 
to back, deep yellow inside, dotted with redbrown, with an erect 3-lobed 
yellow callus filling the front of the sac. Column 3 lines long, white, its 
foot bearing a truncate or obscurely 3 lobed callus opposite to the one 
in the sac. 
Annam: (W. Micholitz). 
It grows at about 5000 feet altitude, and will probably require the 
same treatment as V. Kimballiana and V. Amesiana, which three species 
form a very natural section of the genus. 
5. Caltha elata Duthie, I. c., p. 178 /Ranunculaceae]. 
Caulis elatus, atro-virides et interdum rubescens. Folia suborbiculata, 
argute serrata, inferiora longe petiolata, lobis basilaribus imbricatis; petiolo 
cylindrato, haud suleato. Flores 1—1,7 poll. diametro. Stamina plurima. 
Lobi stigmatici breves. Folliculi erecti, rostro brevi. ; 
Hazara: (Falconer 1837; Duthie's Collector 1899). — W. Tibet: 
(Falconer 1888). 
A tall, handsome plant, similar in many respects to C. polypetala 
Hochstetter, but the cylindrical petioles at ance distinguish it from that 
species as well as from the common Marsh Marigold (C. palustris). It 
agrees with the latter in the overlapping of the basal lobes of the leaves, 
but the leaves are more rounded and the marginal teeth are very acute; 
it also differs by having rather smaller flowers, more numerous stamens, 
and shorter stigmatic lobes; the follicles also are erect (not spreading), 
and their beaks are much shorter. It is a taller plant than C. palustris, 
and comes into flower considerably later. 
6. Rosa sorbiflora Focke, |. c., p. 227, fig. 96 [Rosaceae]. 
I suggest this name because the inflorescence is like that of Sorbus 
Inflorescence at the end of the branches, corymbose (branchlets many- 
flowered) as in Sorbus or Viburnum (fig. 96, B). Flowers about !/, inch 
(scarcely 2 cm) in diameter. The outermost sepals often with filiform 
or trifid appendices. Styles elongated over the orifice of the receptable; 
fruits scarcely 5 mm in diameter. Climber, 6 feet high.

7. Coelogyne Lawrenceana Rolfe, l. c., p. 227 [Orchidaceae]. 
Pseudo-bulbs ovoidoblong, 2 to 3 inches long, 1- to 1!/, inch broad, 
diphyllous. Leaves broadly lanceolate, acuminate, attenuate at the base 
into a distinct petiole, 8 to 11 inches long, about 1!/, inch broad. Scape 
arising from the apex of the mature pseudo-bulb, about 7 to 8 inches 
long, 1-flowered. Bract spathaceous, clasping the rhachis, obtuse, striate, 
11/, to 11, inch long. Ovary 14 lines long, with six very prominent 
angles. Sepals oblong, somewhat narrowed towards the apex and sub- 
acute, obtusely keeled behind, and somewhat gibbous at the base, 2 inches 
long. Petals linear, acute, nearly 2 inches long by rather over a line
