minute yellow, sepals ovate, standard orbicular, wings short, lip boat- 

 bhaped with a gibbosity or boss in place of a spur. 



Khasia Mts., ah. 6-6000 ft., at Surureem on walls, Griffith; at Molim, J. D.B, 



Like a very siuall form of 7. racemosa, but the flowers are not \ in. diameter^ and 

 are not spurred. I should have referred it to a reduced form of this plant with aimnte 

 flowers arrested in development, had it occurred in the Himalaya, but the widejy- 



obliges me to regard it as distinct.— 6'a;;sw?e I in., narrow-clavate, 

 glaurous. ISeeds small, obovate, compressed, pointed at the hilum.
