The plant which I found at Prome and 'Taong Dong seems to be larger than that which is a native of Bengal, 
and may perhaps eventually prove a different species. Professor Lindley, in his valuable work on Orchideæ, quoted 
above, considers them as one and the same species.

Both this and the following species are common plants in the mountain forests of Nipal and Kamaon, of which 
they constitute a great ornament during the rainy season. They possess only a slight degree of bitter taste
