 bus, bracteis apice subulatis, sepalis minoribus et calcare breviore.

 Variat insigniter statura; 2-12" alta, et floribus ^" ad H" latis. — Vexillum 



breve, galeatum, latius quam longum, retusum. 



Thwaites {En. Plant. Ceylon, 68) suspects that this cannot be Heyne's 

 plant, because that is described by Wallich as having the spur several 

 inches in length; but in some of our specimens it is 2^-3 inches in length. 



4. I. RivALis {Wight in Madr. Journ. Science, v. p. 13, t. viii. et leones, 

 t. 751). Foliis oblongis ellipticis ovato-oblongisve basi obliquis su- 

 perne pilosis glabratisve, bracteis ovatis subacutis, sepalis late ovatis 

 obtusis, calcare gracillimo elongato, alis 3-lobis. — An var. /. acaulis ? 



Hab. Mont. Malabariae! et Concan! Wight, Dalzell,Sfc. (fl. July, August). 

 Statura variabilis 2-12" alt. Folia serrata v. integerrima, basi attenuata, 



obtusa V. subcordata. Mores i-H" lati, vexillo fornicato brevi. Se-

In the dried state it is impossible to distinguish this from /. acaulis, 

 of which I suspect it is a variety, as does Thwaites.

 membranaceis, bracteis ovatis acutis, sepalis late ovatis obtusis, labello
