obtusely 3-lobed at the apex, spur a minute globose sac. 
Naca HILLS in UPPER Assam; on Kohima, Prain. Upper Burma (in Herb. 
Calcutt.). 
Stem 12-18 in., naked below, and above except for a few lanceolate sheaths, 
Leaves 14-2 in., obtuse or acute, sessile, nerves obscure. Spike 2-3 in., rather 
dense-fld. ; bracts subulate-lanceolate, acuminate, not herbaceous, lower $ in. ; ovary 
1-i in. ; flowers nearly horizontal; sepals j-1 in. long, apiculate behind the tip, 
1 nerved ; lip with a broad concave claw; anther small short broad, cells parallel ; 
stigmatic processes rather long; rostellum minute, 3-fid. 
89. H. robustior, Hook, f.; stem tall slender naked below, leaves 
close set ovate-lanceolate acuminate passing into foliaceous imbricating 
bracts much longer than the flowers, spike many-fld., flowers erect, lateral 
sepals linear acute, petals oblong obtuse, lip longer than the sepals 3-partite

straight obtuse, spur very small ellipsoid or fusiform.  Peristylus lancifo-

Stem 1-2 ft., sometimes naked for a foot, then leafy, the leaves gradually 
diminishing upwards. Leaves 2-3 in., suberect or spreading, bases sheathing, 
nerves obscure. Spike 2-6 in. ; bracts twice as long as the flowers, lower 4-1 m. 
long, green; ovaries į in. loug, nearly straight; lateral sepals 4 in., ]-nerved, 
reflexed ; petals nearly as long, 2-3-nerved ; lip 2-auricled at the small concave 
claw ; anther-cells parallel; stigmatic processes long ; rostellum 3-fid, between the 
cells. Capsule X in., oblong, erect.— Wight's figure ot P. robustior has the flowers 
large, bracts shorter and side segments of lip much larger and more slender than M 
his specimens, which bear the mss. name of P. persimilis.

concave, lobes variable; spur large for the size of the flower, bladdery ; anther 
cells parallel, glands of pollinia exposed on each side of the minute rostellum;
