hood broader than long. Гір. many times longer than the sepals; claw not dilated at 
the base, limb i in, diam.; sac with a pair of curved spurs within. Column very short 
indeed, frontal appendages obscure; rostellum broad, bicuspidate. Anther shortly ovate,

After an examination of numerous specimens for the Flora of British India, I concluded that. 
Odontochilus lanceolatus and О. luteus (Ancectochilus, Lindl.) were one and the same species, and the 
figure here given tends to confirm this opinion, for it agrees with the characters given to both. It 
is, however, very much larger than the usual form of the plant, no doubt due to the habit of enlarge- 
ment to which native artists are prone; and it differs from the description in the Flora of British 
India, in the violet-purple colour of the sepals and petals and in the more numerous divisions of the 
claw of the lip and rather narrower terminal segments,—all variable characters. The size of m flower 
dens also to be extremely variable. 
The drawing is inscribed **Tonglo, near Darjeeling, Augu 1862," in Dr. او‎ 8 hand-writing.
