A. regralis, Bl. Orch. Arc/up. hid. 46 (1858). 'Wana-raja, .^S". 



A. setaceus, Lindl. Gen. and Sp. Orch. 499; Thw. Enum. 314 (non BL). 

 C. P. 384. 



Fl. B. Ind. vi. 95. Wight, Ic. t. 1731. Bot. Reg. t. 2010. Bot. Mag. 

 t. 5208. 



Whole plant 6-10 in. high; stem erect from a long creep- 

 ing tortuous base, as thick as a small goose-quill; 1. 3-5, 

 spreading, i-\h in. long, sessile or shortly petioled, ovate or 

 ovate-cordate, subacute or acuminate, glabrous, dark velvety- 

 green above with orange reticulations, or almost black-purple 

 with red reticulations, pale beneath, sheath hyaline, inflated ; 

 ped. stout or slender, with 2-3 distant lanceolate coloured 

 sheaths, glandular-pubescent; bracts lanceolate, shorter than 

 the ov. ; sep. I in. long, ovate, subacute; pet. broadly falcate; 

 lip longer than the sep., margins of claw crinite with long 

 flexuous cilia, wings quadrate, much shorter than the claw; 

 spur shorter than the ov., inflated, tip contracted, notched. 



Moist region, 1-4000 ft., among leaves in forests ; rather common. 

 Fl. May-Sept., Jan.; sep. and pet. greenish-pink, lip white. 



Endemic. 



The plant varies a good deal in colouring ; the leaves, in the most 

 ornamental form, are dark greenish-purple, with the network of veins 

 orange, but sometimes they are pure deep green with golden veining, 

 and at other times, as in the Bot. Mag. fig. above quoted (var. inoniatits, 

 Hook.), the veining is not differently coloured to the rest of the leaf. 



Doubtfully distinct from the A. setaceus of Java. Linna^us's name, 

 Satyriiim repens, inadvertently given as a synonym in Fl. B. Ind., belongs 

 to the N. European Goody era rcpens. — Trimen.
