Closely allied to E. Dalzellii, but leaves more oblong, scape shorter, flowers twice 
as large, and lip much narrower.—An authentic specimen in Herb. Lindl. certifies 
Wight’s figure quoted above, and his specimens being the plant of A. Richard. Lip 
not acute, as described by A. Richard and Lindley.

Very like a small state of E. Dalzellii (with which Reichb. is disposed to unite it), 
but the lip is never panduriform., There may be more than one species here. Y al ich's 
(imperfect) specimens are very small-flowered. I do not share Lindley s doubts 
(Journ, Lin. Soc. 1. c.) as to their being from Nepal, for the specimens car (in his 
mu writing) the date of 1821, the year in which Wallich was in that con ry. In 
enasserim specimens the lip has very narrow side lobes about the mi dle, and an 
Potuse tip, In the Ceylon ones the flowers are larger (sepals 4-3 in.), an ap ovi ule 
| nceolate, subacute, margins waved. The Khasia ones are in fruit only, caps 
m., pyriform,
