Stems 1—9 ft., about 1 in. diam. ; internodes 1—11 in. Leaves 2—3 by 4—} in., spreading 
and recurved. Васетез solitary from the upper and lower nodes; peduncle 1—2 in., 
curved to one side; sheaths tubular, obliquely truncate, green and brown spotted, 
pedicel with ovary 14 in. decurved ; bracts 1—3 in. obtuse, membranous, white; flowers 
13 in. diam. Petals broader than the sepals; lip with sometimes faint crimson streaks 
at the base. Column very short; anther taller than broad, tip 2-lobed. 
A very fine species, first described by Reichenbach from specimens flowered by Veitch, and said to 
have been imported from Assam, probably the Khasia hills or Bhotan. The drawing is inscribed 
“ Sylhet, April 1875. Mr. Melville, С. King.” The same from Dewangiri, Bhotan, “ б. S. Jennings, April 
1866, J. Anders.” In the drawing the unnumbered enlarged’ ‘figure of the lip is represented as 
having two small inflexed lobes above the claw, which I did not detect, and I suspect that they are due 
to laceration. . T WS 7 x dx I. |
