This is one of three closely allied long-spurred Hale- 
narias confined to the Western Ghats of the Peninsula of 
Jndia, and characterized by their large flowers and the 
great length of their spurs, and which have been much con- 
founded in botanical works. They are (1) H. longicornu, 
Lindl. (H. montana, A. Rich. in Ann. Se. Nat. Ser. ii. vol. 
xy. #. 73), which has acuminate leaves, bracts shorter than . 
the long-beaked ovary, three to eight-flowered scapes, the 
lip not longer than the lateral sepals, and the spur about 
twice as long as the ovary; (2) H. decipiens, Wight 
Tc. Pl. Ind. Or. vol. v. Pt. i. p. 14 (H. montana, Wight 
l.c. t. 927, not of A. Rich.) with more numerous (six to ten) 
smaller flowers, very short pedicels, the lip rather longer 
than the sepals, and a spur four or five times as, long as 
the beaked ovary; and (3) the plant here figured. This 
latter I assume to be the same as H. longicorniculata of 
Graham in his “* Catalogue of Bombay Plants” (though his 
Aprit Ist, 1892.
