as in the latter ; the lip or nectarium of a deep variegated purple co-

Thefollozmng species added bi/ Mr. N. Wallich. 

 Dried specimens of the following two plants were sent to me from 

 the mountains North-East of Bengal under the Khasee name, Kat- 

 tiajorung. Flowering time the rainy season. 



6. K. secunda. Wall. 



Caulescent. Leaves petioled, ovate, sub-falcate. Spike termi- 

 nal wently curved, unilateral. Crest of the filament entire. 



The Root appears to Send a number of simple fibres from its up- 

 per part. — Stems simple, slightly ascendent, entirely invested with 

 lon<>-, membranaceous, striate, rather loose sheaths; 8 or 10 inches 

 lon^, like the leaves andbractes, smooth. — Leaves acute at the base, 

 tapering from the middle into a very long linear point ; finely striat- 

 ed, from 3 to 4 inches long.— Pefzo/es short, channelled ; within their 

 base an oblong, membranaceous slightly hairy, entire ligula.— Spike 

 scarcely lom^er than the uppermost leaf, few-tlowered. — Exte/ior 

 bractes large, two or three-flowered, imbricating at the back of the 

 spike ; interior, two, small, embracing the base of the flowers.— Flow- 

 ers about as large as those of K. Galanga, expanding successively. 

 Cali/x short, cylindric, hairy. — Exterior segments of the to; ol short- 

 er than the interior ; all are lanceolate, acute, spreading. Nectart/ or 

 inferior segment of the interior border, large, obcordate. — Filament 

 short linear, expanding above the anther into a lanceolate, acute 



ciest. Anther two-lobed, linear, scarcely marginaled by the base of 



the filament. — Germ, style, stigma and glands at the base of the tube
