than the slender clavate ovary, elliptic-lanceolate, acuminate, 5—T-nerved, at first 
deflexed, but afterwards erect. Sepals as long as the bracts, erect, ovate-lanceolate, 
acuminate, with spreading tips, their nerves dark reddish-brown on a pale-green ground. 
Petals shorter than the sepals, lanceolate, acuminate, pale-green veined with purple, 
the midribs thickened on the back. Zip slightly shorter than the petals, pale yellowish- 
green, attached to the base of the column by the concave winged claw; its apical 
portion ovate and bluntly acuminate, the margins towards the base reflexed, erosel 
the apex without any concavity. Column 1:2 cm, long, stout, curved and narrowed 
towards the base. Anthsr 2-celled, ita cells parallel. Ро ма ovate-oblong, stigma with 
an overlapping irregularly lobulate border.

(Duthie’s Хо. 2062), Duthi?s collector No. 23000. Flowers in August. 
The original specimens discovered in 1881 by Mr. W. Gollan, after whom I have named the 
species, were in too young a condition even for determining the genus. Its nearest known ally is 
A. alpina King & Pantling, a high-level Sikkim species. It differs from the Sikkim plant in 
the rhizome not being scaly, the bracts become erect as the flowers expand, the racemes are much 
shorter, the lip is attached to the base of the column and does not form a pouch, and the 
epichile has no concavity at its apex.

Leafless, yellow or brown, climbing or erect herbs. Flowers rather large, in 
racemes or panicles on the ends of the stem-branches. “раз subequal, concave, free, 
connivent or spreading. Petals as large аз the sepals, or narrower or broader. Lip 
adnate to the base of the column and convolute round it, broad, concave, with or 
without lateral lobes; apical lobe large, broad. Column dilated towards the apex. 
Anther conical, 2-celled; pollinia 2, broad, often compressed, powdery.—Species 12;

Rhizome 3'5 to 65 em. thick, branching, bearing large fleshy triangular scales. Stems 
18 to 30 dm, in height and about 6:5 cm. thick at the base, clothed at intervals with 
large ovate-lanceolate acute bracts. Panicle 6 to 9 dm. long, with lax drooping branches. 
Flowers bright yellow, about 455 cm. across, of a spongy texture; floral bract shorter than 
the short stalk of the ovary, lanceolate, concave. Sepals subequal, broadly ovate, 
subacute, sparsely furfuraceous like the ovary. Petals ovate, acute, edges егозе. Lip 
sessile, without side lobes, deeply concave. with a small fold under the column, apex 
rounded, the margins undulate and ciliolate; the upper surface papillose, but with a 
broad glabrous patch near the centre. Column stout, slightly bent forward. Anther 
fleshy, glabrous, its lip entire; pollinia 2, much compressed, obliquely ovate. Capsule 
oblong, subfalcate, sharply angled, 2:2 dm. long, somewhat furfuraccous. King &
