Ridley has referred this to Griffith’s rupestris, and gives Assam and the olitary 
Mts. as localities. It cannot, however, be Griffith’s rupestris (which hasa $ tini 
cordate leaf and lanceolate bracts), nor is it a Khasian plant. — It is Lindle A 
Reichenbach's rostrata, under which that author refers to the specimen in Lin y 
herbarium fastened on a sheet with L. olivacea.
