This species, remarkable for the length of the spurs at the base of the 
sepals, was collected by Mr. Gomez on the Jentya Hills in Sylhet, a moun- 
tainous region on the north-eastern frontier of Bengal. The flowers, which 
appear in May, are apparently of a green colour, and vary from 2 to 5 in the 
umbel. The leaves are altogether sessile, not being narrowed at the base as 
. in most of the other species. The inflorescence, as in the rest of the genus, is 
really terminal, although, from the prolongation of the branches beyond it, it 
has the appearance of being lateral.
