Van. rubiginosa, Clarke mss. ; branches and leaves beneath clothed with a fine close 
rusty pubescence, leaves of var. viscida, flowers rather larger.—Nilghiris; Wight, 
Clarke, &c. . 
Var. glabrata; usually more slender, quite glabrous or sparsely patently hairy, 
leaves 1-3 in., usually broadly ovate-cordate or base rounded coarsely toothed, petiole

Miquel, of Java, with the habit of this, differs in the narrow bracts and form of the 
calyx.

Stem 1-3 ft., rarely branched. Leaves narrowed into winged petioles 3-3 in. long, 
rough or smooth above, sometimes of a fine purple beneath. Calyx in fruit 4 in. ; 
lateral teeth triangular, hardly awned. Corolla pale pink, variable in size and curva-

leaves I refer to O. incurvus, the other with more lanceolate subsessile leaves 18 the

beneath. Corolla } in. long, tube slender. 
5. O. robustus, Hook. f.; finely pubescent, stem robust terete, leaves
