This most beautiful species seems confined to a very narrow area in outer Sikkim and though so striking in appearance to 
have been altogether overlooked, This is remarkable for, though it may be local in distribution, one ofits localities is by the way-side in 
the well-known road from Darjeeling to the Runjeet cane-bridge.
