TEMPEEATE HIMALAYA; KHASIA MTS., alt. 6-9000 ft., from' Sikkiin east- 

 wards. 



Pseudobulbs 1-1^ in., crowded, obovoid or subrhomboid. Leaves. 4-8 in. Scape 

 eheathed up to the fragrant flowers ; sepals 1-1^ in. ; spots on lip variable in form, 

 side lobes sometimes streaked with red. Capsule 1^2 in., pyriform, augles obtuse. 

 Var. heteroglossa, R. f. in G. C. 1878, ii. 8, is described as having a broader mid-

 mature bulbs.

Very near Q. corymbosa, but pseudobulbs oblong polished, leaves narrower and

 Reichb. f. in Trans. Linn. Soc. xxx. 146, t. 30, f. 3, with small elliptic acute leaves, 

 shorter perianth segments, and entire side lobes of lip, may (as the authors suggest) 

 be a different species.
