For the Hedychinm flavtim of Roscoe, non Roxb., the name //. 

 subditum, Turrill, is proposed. The plant is distinguished by 

 having flowers 10-11 cm. long, a calyx about half as long as the 

 corolla-tube, an ovate bilobed or obcordate lip which is narrowed 

 into a distinct claw below, and by a filament which with the anther 

 is distinctly longer than the lip. The plant named //. flavum in 

 Lodd., Bet. Cab., t. 604 is probably this species. 



The plants represented in Bot. Mag., t. 2378 and Lodd., Bot. 

 Cab., t. 723 are very similar, and both are probably hybrids 

 between H. sptcatum, J. E. Sm,, and H. subditum., Turrill. 



In order to facilitate the identification of specimens the follow- 

 ing key to the species dealt with above has been prepared :
