■ 



This species is described from a single specimen kindly sent to Calcutta by Mr. Clarke, 

 who has met with it twice in rather remote localities and both times in fruit only. From 

 a single withered corolla attached to the tip of the uppermost capsule, I have been able 

 to ascertain the site of staminal insertion and to learn that the lip is sessilp. Of the nature 

 of the galea (whether beaked or not) or of the filaments (whether hirsute or glabrous) 

 nothing can yet be said.
