spots, few of the species are to be found above 4000 ft. The 
plains possess but few and even these have probably escaped 
from hills. Of the Indian species the most widely distributed 
are some of the epiphytical ZEschynanthi or Incarvillee, and 
of these about 3 species are found on plains. Martynia 
has likewise an extensive distribution. The remaining ap-
