Penokok River, alt. 11,000 feet (Haviland, 1302). 
This is a very singular species, belonging to the series with strictly terminal inflores- 
cence. The raceme forms a compact cone with large, pale, fimbriate bracts. The flowers 
project but a short way, and appear to have been white with a median red bar on each 
sepal and petal, and a red horseshoe-shaped patch on the lip. The pollinia, too, are very 
curious; they are 6 in number, very slender, and fixed in the middle of a thin-textured 
dise, very large in proportion to them; at the end of this disc is a A-shaped, thick, red, 
gland-like body, which doubtless serves to attach it to the head of the fertilizing insect.

. One of the very few simple-lipped Asiatic Habenarias. The two little erect processes 
at the extreme base of the lip, however, doubtless represent the lateral lobes.
