BEHAR; on Parusnath, Thomson, DECCAN PENINSULA; from the Concan to 
Kurg, Jerdon, &c. ; Godaveri district, G'amble. . 
Stem pendulous, 2-3 ft. long, and lower part of branches naked, upper with short 
sheaths. Leaves (in Wight Ic.) 2 in. long. Racemes subsessile, 4—5 in. long; 
bracts minute, lanceolate; pedicels nearly as long, capillary ; flowers yellow ; sepals 
shorter than the pedicels.— Wight describes the midlobe of the lip as suborbicular, 
but it is not so in his figure or in the specimens. The Parusnath specimens are stouter 
than the Concan ones, and the Godaveri ones still more so, and shorter. The name 
herbaceum is inappropriate, but claims priority.
