Stem prostrate or ascending, cylindric, not or hardly pseudobulbous, as thick as 
a goose-quill, green, smooth. Leaves solitary, erect, 6—12 by 12—84 mmn., 5-nerved, 
dark green; petiole 3—4 in., enclosed for half its length or more in an appressed 
membranous brown sheath. Scape taller than the leaf, purplish, with two long, tubular, 
acute, brown sheaths; raceme laxly many-fid.; bracts 1—1 in. ; pedicel with ovary 2 
in.; flowers $ in. diam.; sepals and petals recurved. Anther with 2 dark bosses, 
The leaves of the Sikkim specimen here depicted are narrower than usual in T. latifolia, and 
the habitat recorded on the drawing “Temperate oak woods on Sinchal, 8,000 feet above the sea, 
31-8-62, T. Anderson,” is far above that at which the species had previously been collected —much higher, 
indeed, than the genus, which is essentially tropical, had been known to attain. As in all orchids 
the determination of the lamelle, keels, crests, &e,, of the disk of the lip is exceedingly difficult 
in dried specimens, and that here given at figs. 1 and 2 from the Sikkim plant will not stand 
critical comparison with fig. 3, which is from a drawing of my own, or with Griffith’s drawing 
of the Burmese plant on t. 319 of his “Icones.” I am, however, satisfied that all belong to the 
same species,
