SlAM. Mountains round Chengmai, Dr. Arthur Kerr. v 



Sent for determination by Dr. H. H. Dixon, Trinity College 

 Botanic Garden, Dublin, in June, 1908. The flowers are pale 

 green, with a distinct suffusion of dull purple on the lateral 

 sepals and lip, while the other segments have a few minute purple 

 dots near the margin. The appearance of this species fully con- 

 firms the inclusion of Sunipia scariosa, Lindl., in the genus lone, 

 as proposed by King & Pantling, it being most like the former in 

 habit, and having the rostellum quite similar in structure, while 

 the longer spreading segments agree with lone.
