subequal in length, nearly } in. long, narrowly oblong or oblanceo- 
late, acuminate or abruptly mucronate, white with pink veins and 
tinged with pale-green atthe apex. Lip including spur a little longer 
than the sepals and petals; side-lobes deep-purple, erect, rounded, 
entire ; between the side-lobes are three prominent whitish lamelle ; 
midlobe orbicular, yellow spotted with purple, and with a coarsely 
fimbriate disk, the margin undulate and irregularly erose. Spur 
eylindric, curved, obtuse, white, grooved in front. Column about 
half as long as the lip, with a very slightly produced foot.

Dehra Dun (Mackinnon); N. Oudh, in the Kheri district (Duthie). 
Flowers during April. Distrip.: Outer ranges of the W. Himalaya 
up to 5,000 ft. from Garhwal westwards to Hazara and the Chitral 
district, often in pine forests. This species is nearly related to L. 
campestris, differing chiefly by its shorter scapes, larger flowers and 
more congested racemes. The shape of the lip and the general colour- 
ing of the flowers are also very different. EH. campestris is essentially 
a species of the plains, whereas 2. Hormusjii extends up to the tem- 
perate region of the W. Himalaya where the climatic conditions are 
more favourable for leaf development.
