386 ORCHIDEA. 
The following refers to the same species as found. 
Also in the Sunderbunds of Bengal, February, 1844. 
Stem 13 or nearly 2 feet high, almost a scape. 
Leaves except the radical or lower ones, linear lanceolate, 
with long sheaths, the limbs of the uppermost appressed to 
* the scape, which is upwards pubescent. 
Spike 44-5 inches long, performing 14 spire glandular 
pubescent. 
Flowers close together, each with a glandular pubescent 
linear lanceolate bracte, rather longer than the ovarium, 
white with a very faint odour like Polianthes tuberosa. 
Sepals 3, linear oblong, slightly glandular pubescent sub- 
recurved, palid towards the points lateral. 
Petals about as long as the upper sepal, with which they form 
the upper lip which is hence 3-dentate. 
Labellum reflexed above the middle of the lamina, suboblong 
reniform, with irregularly dentate margins, margin on either 
side towards the base with a largish callosity, continuous with 
the ovarium, margins adhering slightly to the sides of the 
column. 
Columna short roundish, corresponding only with the upper 
part of the ovarium, between its base and the labelum is a 
whitish subconcave space. 
Stigma large green viscid obliquely terminal. 
Anther membranous brownish. Pollen powdery, quaternate 
in pairs, sessile on the gland. 
Rostellum acutely and deeply bifid into two linear seg- 
ments, lateral and posterior margins ofthe clinandrium mem- 
nous, 
Brought by my plant collector Akkul Mahomed from the 
Sunderbunds: February 1844. 
Also found by me аё SaddyaA in upper Assam in 1836. See 
Assam Herb, 389.
