. CHINA. Lienee Mountains, 180 m., Ford. Hongkong, 
Voretzsch. Hongkong Herb., 9620, 9621. 
Originally 5 a on the Lo-fau-shan Mountains by Mr. C. 
Ford, and distributed as Glossula hg Lindl., and afterwards 
in Hongk ong by Dr. E. A. Voretzsch. The s spur is clavate, and 
three times as long as in G. fontaeniat, to which it bears a general 
resemblance in other respects. It is difficult to make out the 
structure of the minute column and its appendages from dried 
specimens, but the stigmatic processes are not clavate, as in 
Habenaria, and I am inclined to think the genus must be kept 
distinct as was done by Lindley.
