 atra, pyriformia, rugosa. 



In some of the specimens I find the posticous lobes of the lateral 

 petals (which are extremely variable in form and shape) included in the 

 spur, as described by Edgeworth ; in others they are iree, and I am dis- 

 posed to regard the former arrangement as owing to an anomalous 

 form of the petals, which are normally simply and shortly 2-lobed, as 

 in J. racemosa and others.

 Hab. Sylvis temperatis Himalayae, alt. 8000-10,000 ped.; Kumaon! 

 Str. S^ Wint. (5) ; Sikkim ! J. D. H. (fl. Jul.), (v.v.). 

 A tall branched delicate species, with alternate leaves and axillary, 

 very long patent filiform arched peduncles, bearing at the very extre- 

 mity three to six pale-yellow, narrow flowers, about H inch long, a good 

 deal Uke some states of I. leptoceras. The labellum is of the form of a 

 cornucopia, being a long slender cone or funnel, with an incurved slender 

 spur. The lateral petals are linear, twisted, and as long as the spurred 

 sepal. • It diff'ers from I. uriicifolia, Wall, (of which 1 expect it is a 

 variety), in the longer peduncles, smaller, more slender flowers, and form
