Stout, 4-6 in. high, leafy nearly up to the spike. Leaves 14-3 in., fleshy, dar 
green above, purplish beneath. Spike 2-8 in.; flowers subsecund; sepals 3-nervel, 
white with pink tips, lateral ovate acuminate, dorsal oblong-lanceolate ; petals oblan- 
ceolate, faleate, 3-nerved; lip 7-nerved, acuminate; columnar arms elongate, sub- 
ulate; anther ovate-lanceolate; pollinia with short caudicles and a long gland.— 
The only perfectly glabrous Indian species of this group. 
13. G. hispida, Lindl. in Journ. Linn. Soc. i. 183; leaves subsessile 
ovate-lanceolate acuminate, spike and flowers hispidly glandular, bracts 
shorter than the small flowers, lip saccate shortly obtusely beaked sparsely

Knasi1A Hitts, at Churra, alt. 4000 ft., J. D. H. & T. T. . 
Described from a solitary specimen, by Lindley, who observes its similarity to FA 
repens, except in the larger leaves, but who does not appear to have examined t 
lip, which differs from that of repens in the setose sac. It is nearer G. secundifiora. 
— Whole plant only 5 in. high. Leaves 2 in., whole-coloured, not reticulate; spike 
twisted ; flowers white; sepals l-nerved, lateral i in. long, ovate-oblong, obtuse ; 
petals oblong-lanceolate, nearly straight, 1-nerved ; columnar arms subulate ; anther 
lanceolate ; pollinia narrow, with short caudicles and a large gland. 
14. G. cordata, Benth. in Herb. Kew; leaves subradical ovate: 
cordate, spike puberulous few and lax-fld., bracts shorter than or equalling
