Owing to the minuteness of the flowers, and their distortion by 
drying, it is difficult to make out the structure of the column, but I 
think it is as described and figured. A very closely allied andesanitied 
species from the Khasia Hills (@rifith, Kew distrib. 5132) differs from 
this in having long lanceolate petals like B. Gamblei; but the rhizome 
is very much stouter and the flowers minute. The flowers more 
resemble B. confertum, but the leaves are very different, and exactly 
as in mpl apetteap The specimens are so very scanty that I hesitate to 
Tribe it as new.—J. D. H.
