An elegant species, growing in waterfalls amongst the spray, and 
flowering from May to August. Abundant in the Happy Valley 
waterfall, in a rill on Mount Gough, etc. It may possibly prove to be 
a mere variety of the P. caudata, but the floral characters do not agree 
sufficiently well with those described by Decaisne for me to venture to 
unite them, without better materials than I now possess to enable me 
to judge of the variations of the Silhet plant. :
