A tall tufted plant. Flowers greenish yellow, the lip white, 
lateral lobes spreading spotted pink, mid-lobe deep maroon 
purple, with a pulverulent white callus almost covering the 
disc. There is also a pulverulent white callus at the base of 
the lip. Column white, edged reddish purple. 
The name 2H. Kingit (Hook. f., l.c.) was used previously 
by F. von Mueller for an Australian species, and Dr. Stapf, in 
the paper on the flora of Kinabalu (Trans. Linn. Soc., 1.c.), 
substituted the name H. Scortechinii for it, overlooking the fact 
that that name also was pre-occupied. I had described the 
Bornean plant as a variety under the name FE. Kingii, ‘‘ var. 
major,” accidentally printed #. major, Ridl., which thus becomes 
the oldest specific name.

I should have taken this for H. irid/folia, Hook. f., except for 
the description of the terminal lobe of the lip, which is described 
and figured as concave and rounded, instead of being bifid. It 
isa very large stout plant, with the habit somewhat of Dipidiuwm
