 DISTRIB. Europe, N. Asia, N. America. 



Stem 4-8 in. Leaves dark grey or mottled with paler, -1 in. Spike 1-4 in., 

 often twisted, sometimes almost glabrous; flowers whitish; lateral sepals -5- in.,

 short j pollinia small, pyriform, sessile on the small glaud. 



5. Cr. fusca, Hook.f. Ic.Pl. ined. ; very robust ; leaves radical broadly 

 ovate, spike secund pubescent, bracts exceeding the flowers, lip deeply sac- 

 cate with a decurved beak strongly ridged within, column very short, 

 anther very small stipitate didymous. JEtheria fusca, Lindl. in Journ. 

 Linn. Soc. i. 184. Cystorchis fusca, Benth. in Gen. Plant, iii. 599. 



SCTBALPINE HIMALAYA: Harung, Munro ; Garwhal, alt. 13,000 ft., Dtthie ; 

 Sikkim, in the inner ranges, alt. 12-14,000 ft., J. J). H. 



Roots densely tufted. Stem 6-12 in., often as thick as a swan's quill. Leaves

 base of the sepals, 5-7-ridged within ; column broad, rostellar arms subulate ; anther 

 apiculate. Closely allied to G. repens, though much larger. Besides diffiring in 

 habit and locality it wants the calli in the lip of Cystorchis, under whicl genus 

 see observation.

 5-ridged within, column with long slender rostellar arms, antbr acu- 

 minate.

 recurved glandular-pubescent, bracts lanceolate equalling the -Jowers, lip 

 cymbiform obtuse lamellate within, column with long rostellar ams, anther 

 acuminate. 



HILLS in Upper Assam; on Pulinabadya, alt. 7200 ft., Pratt; 

 Very near G. recurva, but the leaves are 1-1^ in., ovate and strongl;reticulately 

 nerved, the spike recurved, but not deflexed, the sepals are broader, tb lateral not 

 falcate, and the lip is less saccate.

 ovate, stem very slender nearly naked, spike short puber.lous, bracts
