 glabrous, stem and branches robust, leaves elliptic acute or acuminate 

 crenate-serrate thick, petiole long with 2 large glands, flowers 4-6 sub- 

 umbelled long pedicelled, sepals small lanceolate, standard transversely 

 oblong spurred at the back, wing- lobes large broad rounded, lip small 

 continuous with the long curved stout spur. Hook. Bot. Mag. t. 4704;

Central Province of CEYLON, alt. 3-5000 ft. 



A shrub, 4-5 ft., with very stout stem and often scarred branches as thick as the 

 finger. Leaves 4-8 in., crenatures with a bristle ; petiole 1-4 in., stout, with 2 large 

 opposite glands above the middle (usually at the top). Peduncle 3-4 in., erect, very 

 robust ; bracts small, caducous ; pedicels very slender. Flowers 2 in. diam., white or 

 with the wings streaked with blood-red ; standard very large ; wings spreading, lateral 

 lobes oblong, terminal much larger, notched towards the tip; spur and lip 1^-2^ in. 

 Capsule -f in., ellipsoid, beaked, glabrous, obtuse. Seeds many, young pubescent. 

 This, though closely allied to /. grandis, seems to differ in the much smaller sepals, as 

 well as in the shape of the wings, lip, and spur.

Mountains of MALABAR and TINNEVELLY, alt. 1-4000 ft., Wight, &c. 



Shrubby, 8 ft. high, habit, foliage, and inflorescence of/, biglandulosa, and with the 

 same coloured flower, but the sepals are three times as large, the standard more orbi- 

 cular, the wing-lobes much narrower, and the lip ends in a sac or very stout conoidal 

 straight spur. 



** Spur shorter than the flower or 0. (See I. grandis and biglandulosa

 elliptic- or ovate-lanceolate crenate glaucous beneath, peduncle stout, 

 flowers 3 umbelled, bracts very large deciduous, sepals very large and

 base usually 2-glandular ; petiole 1-2 in., eglandular. Peduncle 2-3 in., very stout,
