102. PHLOMIS simplex. Bentham Labiate, p. 634. 
A herbaceous plant from the Himalayas, whence it has been 
introduced by the East India Company. It is described as an 
inhabitant of the mountains of Kunaour, and also of Pere 
Punjal in the kingdom of Cashmere. It grows less than a 
foot high, has deeply heartshaped roundish crenated leaves, a 
simple stem, and whorls of dull purple and hairy flowers. It 
is not a plant of any beauty. 
103. MAXILLARIA placanthera; (Hooker in Bot. Mag. t. 3173.) sepalis 
lineari-oblongis obtusis intus secus medium seriatim maculatis, petalis 
angustioribus omnind conformibus maculatis, labelli angusti trilobi mi- 
nuté pubescentis Jeevis laciniis lateralibus acutis nanis intermedia dilatata 
rotundata cuneata, columné apice lobata versus basin bisulcdé pubescente, 
anthera plana acuta. 
The inspection of a specimen of this from Messrs. 
Loddiges convinces me that it is a species distinct from M. 
viridis to which I formerly referred it, although it is certainly 
very near it. Its flowers have however much narrower sepals 
and petals, are far less green, and the form of the middle lobe 
of the lip is distinct. 
104. MAXILLARIA jugosa; flore subgloboso, sepalis oblongis incurvis ob- 
tusis, petalis conformibus concavis basi angustatis, labelli sigmoidei ob- 
longi unguiculati pilosi jugosi lobis laterahbus nanis intermedio semi- 
circulari, columna apice lobata bisulca villosissima, anthera depressa 
acuta. 
A Brazilian species imported by Messrs. Loddiges (no. 
828.) very near M. placanthera, from which it differs in 
having the flower of a globose figure, with much less linear 
sepals and concave oblong petals narrowed to the base. 
These parts are of a rich cream colour speckled with crimson. 
The lip has quite a different form, being semicircular at the 
tip, deeply furrowed and closely covered with short hair. 
The column has two deep furrows in front almost buried in 
hairs. In both these plants the caudicula is obcordate with a 
broad membranous border, and the gland is acuminate 
and continuous with it, reposing upon a slit rostellum.
