 includes the Khas'a Mts, 



4. HH. purpurea, Lindl. Gen. if Sp. Orchid. 20 ; leaves 4-6 petioled 

 base very unequal, bracts equalling or shorter than the ovary, auricles of

TEOPICAL SIKKIM HIMALAYA, Anderson, Gammie, Clarke. 



Pseudobulbs 2-4 in., narrowly ovoid, compressed ; stem from the base of the

 diam., golden-yellow blotched with red-brown round the column; sepals connate at 

 the base, dorsal saccate at the base, all 3-nerved ; petals broadly linear, revolute ; lip
