Native of the vallies amongst the Hills near Silhet in 
Bengal, where it is called by the natives Karria-rirvam. 
Our drawing was taken from a specimen sent by the 
Hon. and Rev. Wittram Hersert from Spofforth; who 
informs us that it is equally hardy with Hepycnrum corona- 
rium, and that the whole genus; as far as he has tried, will 
live through the winter in the greenhouse, or out of doors. 
in front of the stove; but they require in the summer a great 
deal of water and some artificial heat to bring them into 
flower. 
Mr. Herserr transmitted another specimen, which he 
considered as the true Hepycuium flavum of the Flora,In- 
dica; but..we could find no specific difference whatever,: 
the whole plant of the latter was smaller and of humbler 
growth ; the spike less ; the flowers smaller, and of a fuller 
yellow colour; but in the pubescence of the foliage, and all — 
the other characters, we could not discover any difference, 
and are constrained to consider them as mere accidental
