Tuber globose, the size of a marble, annulate. Leaf 12-91 in. diam., dark green, 
not waved, but plicate; petiole 2—4 in., striate, passing below into a long, erect 
rhizome, with horizontal roots and suckers; at the junction of the petiole and rhisome is 
a lanceolate sheath. Scape 8—12 in., slender, terete, with appressed tubular basal sheaths; 
raceme many or few-fld.; bracts 3—3 in. long, spreading, green; pedicels about 
i in.; ovary longer, turbinate; sepals $ in. long, and rather narrowed; petals 
greenish; lip pink. 
I am pretty certain that this is Lindley's P. carinata. On the drawing it is named “ P. plicata, 
Lindl. fld. in. H. B. C. in pots, April 1861, T. Anders," which it certainly is not, that species being only 
1—3-fld., and having hairy leaves and small bracts. The column is, however, similarly deeply 2-lobed 
at the tip, and the long surculi proceeding from the downward prolongation from the base of the petiole 
are no doubt of the same nature as the tuberiferous ones of P. plicata. The Indian Pogonias are very 
imperfectly known, and being of an extremely delicate consistence, it is only from very carefully pre- 
served specimens or drawings that characters of any value can be drawn.
