Height of plant 3-4 ft.; the leaves and scape rising from a horizontal 
oblong tuber. Pseudostem formed by the sheaths enclosing the 
bases of the leaves and scape. Leaves two or three, 12-18 in. long, 
linear, acuminate, plicate ; veins sharply prominent. Flowering stem 
exceeding the leaves, with a few long tight-fitting acuminate sheaths 
towards the base. Flowers six to ten, in a.lax raceme, appearing 
with the leaves, 14 in. across, erect in bud, drooping and campanulate 
when open; floral bracts acuminate, less than half the length of the 
ovary. Sepals and petals prominently veined on the back, bright- 
yellow outside, palé-lemon within; dorsal sepal obovate, acute, 
3 in. long; lateral pair rather shorter, falcately oblong, obtuse or 
subacute, adnate to the foot of the column. Spur short, curved sub- 
acute. Petals obovate, obtuse, about as long as the lateral sepals. 
Lip 3-lobed, longer than the sepals ; side-lobes suborbicular, erect, 
whitish or pale-yellow, with lilac-coloured streaks at the base ; 
midlobe bent upwards, the margin undulate. Disk with 5-8 promi- 
nent white ridges terminating within the margin of the apical] lobe 
in a dull-yellow oblong grooved callus and prolonged towards the 
base into two sets of free fimbriate projections. Column about % 
in. long, oblong, narrowly winged curving forward into a distinct 
foot at the purple-streaked base. Anther with a rounded or slightly 
emarginate apex and along anterior projection. Pollinia subglobose, 
attached by a cylindric caudicle to a crenulated obconical gland. 
Dehra Dun, in swamps (W. Bell, Mackinnon, Duthie); Rohilkhand 
in the Pilibhit district, and at Chandanpur in the Gonda district of 
N. Oudh (Duthie’s collector). Flowers during July and August 
Distris.: Warm valleys in the vicinity of Mussoorie (Royle).. 
After examining in the Royal Herbarium at Kew the single type 
specimen of Lindley’s Cyrtopera obtusa, as well as Faloner’s excellent 
draw ing of the same plant under his manuscript name of Hulophia 
arundinacea, I had no hesitation in referring to it the #. campanulata 
which was described by me in the Journ. As. Soc. Beng. l.c. as a 
distinct species. Lindley was correct in his description of the 
column and its distinctly produced foot characteristic of the Cyrtopera 
-scetion of the genus. .
