The nearest ally of this species is H. Delessertiana Kranzl., 



which is characterized by larger flowers and longer leaves. In my 



specimens of iJ. Delessertiana from Calauan, Luzon, the spur is 



2 cm. long and the leaves are 6.5-12 cm. long. The racemes of 



H. hoadanensis are much more slender than those of H. Deles- 



sertiana.
