Leaf about 2 in. diam., about 13-nerved, green with a black-purple spot a 
the base of each fold beyond the middle; petiole 2-3 in. Flowering stem 5-6 M.,

7. P. Gammiena, Hook. f. Bot. Mag. t. 6671; leaf orbicular- or ovate-

TROPICAL HIMALAYA ; from Garwhal, Falconer, &c., to Sikkim, Gammie, &e. 
Leaf 6 in. broad and less, many-nerved, pitted between the folds ; petiole 4-10 n»

8. P. Scottii, Reichb. f. in Flora, 1872, 276; leaf large reniform

Sikkim HIMALAYA; at Darjeeling (ev Reichb.). CHITTAGONG; at Seetakoond 
(Ic. in Herb. Calcutt.). ? Burma, Griffith. . 
Leaf 8 in, diam., abruptly acuminate, green, margin subundulate; petiole 12 m., 
very stout. Flowering stem dark brown, with raceme 18 in. ; bracts 2 in., reflexed ; 
flowers horizontal, almost geniculate with the decurved ovary ; sepals and petals iin, 
connivent, dull green with red nerves ; lip as long, yellow-white with purple nerves; 
top of column hairy on the back.—Lindley refers Griffith’s plant to P. carinata, but 
the saccate base of the lip, and flowers set on at an angle with the ovary 
rather indicate P. Scottii. These characters are not, however, shown in Griffith's 
drawing.
