Regarded by LIndley aa conapeclSc with bis G. secnndiflora, also a 

 native of tbe Kbasia Hills, where it was first found by Griffith, and

 myself and others. Bat Q. secuniiflora is a very much smaller fevver- 

 flJ. plant, and its leaves are mottled with white. The drawing is made 

 from a unique (dried) specimen collected by Dr. Thoniaon and myself
