Tubers globose, |-i in. diam., white; stem 2-3 in., white, 

 erect, giving off a few vermiform roots above the tuber, a 

 solitary leaf-bud and a long flowering scape; 1. developing 

 after the flowering of the scape, petioled, broadly ovate- 

 cordate, acute, about 2 in. diam., membranous, plicate with 

 5-7 veins radiating from the top of the petiole, green or 

 purplish beneath; petiole short, with a few acute sheaths at 

 the base ; scape 5-6 in., with several convolute sheaths, the 

 upper longest ; fl. solitary, shortly pedicelled, i in. broad, 

 bracts shorter than the ov. ; sep. and pet. narrowly lanceolate, 

 acuminate; lip longer than the sep., side lobes small, oblong, 

 toothed, terminal oval from a narrow base, disk pubescent 

 between the lobes. 



Dry country ; rare. Near Haragama and Uma-oya, Dumbara ; Nil-

 white, mid lobe pale pink, mottled with red. 



Assam, Sylhet, Lower Bengal. 



There is in Herb. Peraden. a drawing" and a flowering specimen of a 

 plant that may be Pogonia jidiana; but without leaves it is impossible 

 to be sure that it is that species. On the other hand, there are, in the 

 Peraden. Herb., leaves from several localities of plants named P. Juliana 

 which differ entirely from the leaves of the Bengal plant, being orbicular 

 with many radiating veins ; but none resemble those of true P. jiiliana. 

 In describing P. Juliana as a native of Ceylon, I am following Thwaites 

 and Trimen's catalogues. — J. D. H.
