 inner white, base of the lip satfron-coluured.

 WrLD in Java. 



This densely villous and silky-spiked species I think is 

 different from all the preceding live Javanese ones. I am 

 uncertain about the labellum, as the specimen in Sir W. Hooker's 

 herbarium has only a few flowers, which 1 am unwilling to 

 disturb. The almost capillary end of one of the outer laciniae 

 extends beyond the apex of the advanced flower-bud. The tube 

 is villous, and nearly five inches long.

Wild in marshes in the Southern Concan on the plains of 

 Karle and woods of Lawanowlee, Graham; banks of rivulets in 

 Malwa, Dalzell ; Malabar, Wir/ht ; Ghauts, Dalzell ; marshes 

 from Karle to Kaudola, Jacquemont. 



With exception of the somewhat crested anther and the 

 tuberous root, this very remarkable plant has no striking affinity 

 \n character or habit to Monolophus, or Ki«mpferia either, and 

 it wants altogether the delicate texture of their flowers. To 

 lledychium it comes much nearer. Following the example first
