septum projecting beyond the emarginate apex; pollima each with а small globular 
basal gland. Ovary curved, ovate, glandular-hairy. 
Liddar Valley in Kashmir between 8,000 and 9,000 feet, Inayat Khan No. 25372, 
flowering in August. 
This plant has the general appearance of Z. Lindleyana, but the shape of the petals and the 
direction of the lip is very different. It agrees with Г. Inayati as regards the shape of the sepals, 
and petals, but the raceme is not nearly so dense, the ovary is not globose, and the rostellum is 
very different. As to the existence of the pollimar gland in this species I should mention that 
fig. 7 of the plate is an exact representation of в pollinium after removal from the anther, in 
which the impressions of both glands may be seen on referring to fig. 5 of the same plate.

5. Listers MICROGLOTTIS Duthie in Journ. Ав. Soc. Beng. lxxi, part 2, p. 42. 
Whole plant 2 to 5:3 dm. high. Root-fibres thick, cylindrical, brittle, pale yellowish- 
brown. Stem firm, stout, pale yellow or white, bearing 2 to 4 loose obtuse pale sheaths. 
Leaves none. Raceme 1 to 2 dm. long; its rachis and the bracts and pedicels glandular- 
pubescent. Flowers crowded, about 7 mm. in diam., pale green; pedicel a little longer than 
the ovary; floral bract equalling or exceeding the pedicel, oblong, obtuse or subacute. 
Sepals 4 mm. long, ovate, subacute, sparsely clothed with stiff spreading hairs, the lateral 
pair somewhat oblique. Petals as long as the sepals, linear-spathulate, margins reflexed. 
Lip erect, linear-oblong, equalling the petals in length, apex entire, margins reflexed, 
Column erect, а little shorter than the petals, dilated at its base and apex, overlapping 
he anther, rostellum prominent. Pollinia 2, obliquely obovate-oblong. Ovary with 
pedicel 8 mm, long. Capsule obovate, sparsely hairy; its ridges thick and often 
denticulate. 
Discovered by Mr. Mackinnon's collector in Garhwál on the eastern side of Tehri, 
growing under rhododendrons and oaks at elevations between 5,000 and 60,000 feet, 
(Duthie's Nos. 24181, 25426 (a); also on the wooded hillsides below Mussoorie at similar 
elevations (No. 25426). Flowers during August and September. 
This plant differs from any known species of the Neottia section by its erect and very 
remarkably restricted lip. It bears a certain resemblance to N. micrantha Lindl., but the sepals, petals 
end lip are quite different.
