A very little known plant, though imported many years 
ago from Moulmein by Messrs. Veitch, probably through their 
indefatigable collector Thos. Lobb, and of which I find a few 
dried flowers in Lindley’s Herbarium, dated December, 1848, 
received from Messrs. Veitch. Describing it from the flowers 
alone for his “Folia Orchidacea” in 1854, Lindley naturally 
included it in his section of the genus Flaccide, with pendu- 
lous racemes, whereas it really belongs to the much more 
extensive section of Hrecte, with ascending or erect racemes. 
The specimen here figured was communicated by Messrs. 
Veitch, with whom it flowered in December of last year.
