This has been cultivated for several years in the Botanic 
Gardens, but its habitat was not known. A plant, however, 
was brought in from the Selitar jungle recently; I am told 
also it is a native of Borneo. It is a very pretty species, with 
stout racemes of pure white flowers, relieved by the madder- 
red lobes of the lip. The inner sides of the lateral lobes are 
produced into flat laminas, which nearly meet in the middle 
line, leaving only a channei between them.

I presume that I am correct in this, as I have a copy of an 
excellent drawing by Scortechini which exactly represents the 
Johore and Malacca plant, and is labelled “ HL. acridostachya,”
