 tellum short, triangular. Nearly allied to H. digitata, but the flowers are smaller 

 and the base of the leaves arnplexicaul.

 141 ; very stout, leaves lanceolate, raceme dense-fld., bracts longer than 

 the long-pedicelled beaked ovary, sepals broad acute, petals bipartite, seg- 

 ments slender lower subulate naif the length, of the upper, lip 3-partite, 

 segments subulate subequal or lateral smaller. 



TBNASSEEIM ; at Moulmein, Parish. 



Stem 2-3 ft., leafy upwards, but naked below, and with only sheaths for the 

 upper half. Leaves 3-6 in, base contracted. Raceme 3-4 in., very dense-fld. j 

 pedicels filiform ; bracts f-1 in., lanceolate ; flowers in. diam. ; sepals 3-nerved ; 

 lip not longer than the sepals, spur equalling the ovary, tip clavate ; anther -cells 

 divaricate below, tubes as long as the cells ; pollinia narrow, glands minute ; stig- 

 matic processes elongate, clavate ; rostellurn triangular, acute. 



12. H. dichopetala, Thwaites Enum. 309 ; leaves crowded about 

 the middle of the stem ovate or ovate-lanceolate, lateral sepals ovate acute, 

 dorsal orbicular, petals bipartite, segments divaricate elongate lowest

 spur as long as the ovary slender pendulous. 



CEYLON ; Bintenne district, Thwaites (in Herb. Lindl.). 



Stem 1-1^ ft. Leaves dark green with a red midrib, petioled. Raceme lax-fld. ; 

 bracts lanceolate ; flowers greenish about ^ in. diam. The above description is from 

 " Thwaites' Enum." There are two specimens from Thwaites in Liudley's Herba- 

 rium which differ somewhat from that description, the leaves are linear-oblong erect 

 and sheath the stem all the way up, the bracts ^-f, ovary with pedicel f-1 in., 

 segments of petals subequal on the lower rather than longest, mid segment of lip 

 the shortest, anther-cells distant, stigmatic processes globose ; rostellurn short. 



f j" Stem leafy at or near the base only. 



13. K. grrandifiora, Lindl. in Wall. Cat. 7032; leaf solitary 

 radical orbicular- or ovate-cordate, flowers few long-pedicelled, petals 

 bipartite upper segment obliquely evate acuminate lower longer filiform, 

 lip tripartite lateral segments filiform terminal linear or elongate lanceolate, 

 spur longer than the ovary. Dalz. fy Gibs. Bomb. Fl. 267. H. rotuudi- 

 folia, Lindl. Gen. Sf Sp. Orchid. 806. Orchis grandiflora, Serb. Heyne.

 broad, white; sepals broad; petals rather smaller ; margins of mid-segment of lip 

 recurved, spur obtuse or thickened at the tip, mouth with a caruncled callus ; 

 anther 3-cuspidate, cells parallel, tubes rather short broad spreading, glands of polli- 

 nia large orbicular; stigmatic processes large, clavate; rostelluna elongate, erect. 



14. K. rariflora, A. Rich, in Ann. Sc. Nat. Ser. 2, xv. 70, t. 2 ; 

 leaves radical or subradical linear-oblong or lanceolate acute, flowers few
