Wild in Khasia. at 4—5000 feet J. D. Hooker and T. Thomson , (v. s. sp. comra. 

 cel. inventores). — The very long narrow pseuilobiilbs distinguish this from the eiher 

 proiiferous species. The Howers are intermediate in size belween C. prolifera and 

 flavida. The sepals and lip are as much saccaie al the base as in G. Gardncriana.

 Wild. A. in Nepal on irees Wallich. B. Khasia , at the heightof 3000 feet J. D. Hooker, 

 and T. Thomson ; Sikkim - Himalaya . 4000 feet J. D. Hooker (v. s. sp. comm. cel. 

 invent. et v. c.) — Leaves ten inches long by ihree broad. Raceme drooping , five 

 10 sixflowered. Flowers brownish green. The dorsal sepal broader than the others. 

 Lip wilh four cinnamon spols . one on each of ihe small lateral lobes ; and two at 

 ihe base of the middle lobes. The C. brunnea differs in having short , well - deflned 

 Interal lobes to ihe lip ; but its habit is so much the same that I can now only 

 regard it as a variety.
