description might apply to any of the three species), because 
he gives as its habitat, Kandalla (a suburb of Poona), in 
the South Concan, where Dalzell had collected H. longe- 
calcarata. 
H. longecalcarata has been found along the whole 
range of the Ghats, from Poona to ‘Travancore, ascend- 
ing to about five thousand feet, growing in open places. 
The specimen here figured was communicated by the 
Rt. Hon. Sir Mountstuart Grant Duff, Bart., G.C.S.L., 
F.R.S., late Governor of Madras, who flowered it at his 
residence, York House, ['wickenham, in September, 1891. 
I may remind readers that the garden of this same York 
House was, when occupied by His Royal Highness the 
Comte de Paris, famous for its collection of terrestrial 
Orchidex, see Orphrys Speculum and O. lutea, Plates 5868 
and 5941, and Serapias Lingua, Plate 5868, all of this work. 
H. longecalcarata has the merit of remaining long in 
flower. The specimen here figured was received in flower- 
ing state in September, 1891, and was still flowering in the 
cool orchid house of Kew in the following November.— —
