To this may be added three unrecorded species which are contained in 
Dr.Wallich's Herbarium belonging to this Society. As they are not mentioned 
in his Catalogue, it is probable they had not been examined by that distin- 
guished botanist. I therefore propose to characterize them as follows :— 
2. G.nepalensis, caule erecto triquetro subaphyllo, foliis squamiformibus acutis, 
floribus subeymosis, perianthio 3-alato: alis rotundatis. Tas. XXXVIII.

Hab. in Nepalià. 
Planta 3—4-pollicaris, albicans. 
3. G. Wallichii, caule capillari erecto, foliis plurimis alternis bracteiformibus, 
floribus solitariis vel subtrichotomé cymosis pedicellatis bracteatis, peri- 
anthio anguste tubuloso: alis sublinearibus. Tas. XXXVIII. fig. 2.
