TROPICAL HIMALAYA; from Kumaon, Strachey Sf Winterlottom, eastwards to 

 ASSAM and the KHASIA MTS., and southwards to TENASSERIM. 



Stems 3-5 ft. ; internodes 1-1J i Q - Leaves 3-5 in., coriaceous, acute or unequally 

 notched. Flowers 2^3^ in. diam., odour musky or sweetish ; perianth reticulate, 

 extraordinarily variable in colour, especi Dy the lip, which has fimbriate veins 

 within, and often 2 large purple blotches. The name D. Calceolaria (1823) is much 

 the oldest. The examination of a very extensive series of published and unpublished 

 drawings of this plant convinces me that the names quoted above are all referable 

 to our plant, which is so variable that to attempt a definition of its varieties would 

 be i npossible in this work.
