38 ANNALS OF ROYAL BOTANIC GARDEN, CALCUTTA. : 
I have seen no Sikkim specimen, but I think there is no doubt that the drawing is intended: 
for P. Mannji, though the . terminal lobes of the lip are not serrate, either in the descriptions or 
herbarium specimens of that species. The species is very near Р. Cornu-cerri of Tenasserim, of 
which the rachis of the raceme is much flattened and the bracts rounded at the tip; in both the 
disk of the hypochil présents the usual forked appendage of the genus, with a sword-shaped 
one in front of it. The rachis of the raceme is probably somewhat flattened in Р. Manni, but 
this is not shown in the drawing. The drawing is inscribed крк ХА P. Manni, Reichb. 
f. Rungbee Valley, 1868, 18-3-70.”

Leaves 6—12 by 2—4 in, bright green, subacute. Scape described as tall ond 
branched, but simple in the plant here figured, terete, green, few-fld. Bracts very 
short broad and acute, green; pedicel with ovary 1% in. slender; flower 2 iu. diam. 
Lateral processes of the hypochil yellow; ажа waxy white, convex, : obtuse. 
Column rather short, white; tip тя toothed; pollinia ovoid; strap large, spathulate, 
gland small, broad. 
I have seen no flowers of this species, which I have described from Reichenbach, and the accom- 
panying drawing. As а species it is closely allied to Р. speciosa, Reichb. f. of the Andaman. Isds., 
which has white or rosy flowers with darker blotches, toothed lateral lobes of the hypochil, and a 
dilated mallet-like tip of the epichil ; its flowers vary much in colour, and P. Mu may m 
to be a form of it. —
