Specimen from Tang-ka-la,— north of Ze-lep-la and at the same elevation. 



This account of P. Clarkei is based on an examination of 37 specimens. The species 

 repeats the habit and foliage with the calyx, corolla tube, and lip of P. Prainitmm, 

 P. JPrainiana differs in having a beakless hood.
