pale variegations. Usually from 4 to 10 inches high ; but there is 

 a specimen in the collection (328) nearly 18 inches high with 

 larger flowers. The Chinese plant has also rather larger flowers, 

 but is not taller than the common state. 



44. G-. hispida; foliis rosulatis subsessilibus ovato-lanceolatis acutissimis 

 scapo 4-vaginato longioribus, spica spirali, alabastris subglobosis pilis 

 articulatis hispidis, sepalis apice crassis recurvis, labello cymbiformi acu- 

 minato canaliculato obtuso. 



Khasia, 4000 feet, J. D. H. (2110). 



A solitary specimen exists in the collection. Much resembles 

 G. repens, but the leaves are very much larger. Flowers " white," 

 remarkably hispid with glandular articulated hairs. 



45. G-. repens, R. JSrovm, I. c. 



Sikkim, 11,000-12,000 feet, J. D. M. (349). 



The specimens of this are taller and with larger flowers than 

 some of those of Europe and N. America ; the point of the lip is 

 also a little more drawn out ; but I find nothing distinct. 



46. G-. marginata, I. c. 



3ST.W. Himalaya, at 8000 feet, T. T. (346.) 



This little species, like the following, is one of those which have 

 the sac of the lip destitute of hairs. 



47. Or. eecueva ; foliis lanceolatis parum mutatis scapum vestientibus, 

 racemo denso secundo recurvo pubescente, sepalis abrupte acuminatis, 

 labelli lamina canaliculata oblonga sacco vacuo dupld longiore. 



Kbasia, 5000-6000 feet, J. D. S. $ T. T. (345). 



A very distinct plant with a dense recurved one-sided raceme, 

 and the scape clothed with leaves but little smaller than the others. 

 The leaves are also narrower than in G. tnarginata, and not at all 

 ovate.

 Kong, Champion ; Ceylon, Macrae, Thwaites ; Java, Reinwardt j Nil- 

 gherries, Perrottet, no. 1107, in the Herb, of M. de Franqueville. 



A common plant subject to a little diversity in the sharpness of 

 the sepals and petals, and in the degree of down upon the spike ; but 

 these states do not seem to require separate notice. An authentic 

 specimen of G. carnea, obligingly sent me through M. "Weddell, by 

 M. Graves from the collection of M. de Franqueville, shows that 

 plant to be merely a young state of this common species.
