Gunong Tahan, 3,300 ft. : on the ground. Flowers pale yellow 



closely lined with crimson, lip edged with yellow, centre crimson : 



leaves shining purplish-brown, stalks crimson. (5314.) 



A very distinct and pretty plant allied to no species very distinctly, 



but in some points approaching T. (jrandijlorfi, Ridl. Like that 



plant its stem and leaves suggest an affinity with Nephela]jhyllum 



and there is also some similarity in the column, but the absence 



of the spur prevents its being referred to that genus.
