3 
species are of wide distribution, namely, C. glaucopsis and C. parvi- 
florum. The latter, which extends from North-West India to Japan, 
Australia and Polynesia, and westwards to Abyssinia, is the only 
one with a distinct tendency to marked racial differentiation, parti- 
cularly in the eastern section of its area. The other species referable 
to Capillipedium are C. Schmidii (Andropogon Schmidii, Hook. 1.), 
C. pteropechys (A. pteropechys, C. B. Cl.), C. Hugelii (A. Hugeli 
Hack.), C. filiculme (A. filiculmis, Hook. f.), and possibly one or two 
other as yet imperfectly known species. All these are confined to 
the Deccan and Rajputana.—O. Srapr.
