Specimen from Ootacamund (Gamble n. 12510). 



This species is described from an examination of 31 species. It is = Toren 



incisa 



Heyne in Wall. Cat.; a sheet of Cat. n. 416B with 4 specimens is preserved at Calcutta. 

 It is well figured in the first edition of Baikie's work on the Nilghiri Hills. Its close 

 affinity to P. carnosa has been indicated by Wallioh, who issued it (under Heyne's 

 name) in 1829, in association with P. carnosa from Nepal ; by Bentham in DC. Prodr. 

 I.e., by Wight and by Maximowicz. 



The group to which it belongs forms a distinct subdivision of the Resupinatce of 



Maximowicz (I.e. xii, 830)
