found also in Sikkim, and on the Khasia Hills. 
This is taller and altogether a much more robust plant than H. pectinata, and it is also much 
more sbundant. 
6. HABENARIA ARIETINA Hook. f, Fl. Br. Ind. vi. 138. 
Habit and general appearance of И. ensifolia, but leaves much broader. Raceme 1°25 
to 2 dm. long, Flowers green. Sepals narrowly oblong-elliptic; the lateral pair sub-falcate, 
with ciliolate margins. Petals erect and adpressed to the dorsal sepal, gibbous at the 
base externally, bluntly acuminate, puberulous. ip as in H. ensifolia, but the side lobes 
with fewer teeth; spur laterally compressed, much longer than the ovary. Anther retuse 
and mucronate at the apex, their tubes long and upright as in H. intermedia, Stigmas 
large, linear-lanceolate, spreading, green, their margins ciliolate. Hook. f. in Ann. R.

Eastern Kumaon, Duthies collector No. 24055. Flowers during July and August. 
It extends eastwards to Nepal, Sikkim and the Khasia Hills. 
This species has a much greater resemblance generally to Ж. ensifolia than it has to Ж. pectinata ; 
and, as it also turns black when dried, the difficulty in distinguishing them in that condition is 
inoreased. The long upright anther-tubes as well as the pollinia and glands are very similar to 
those of H. intermedia, to which it is evidently closely allied. Тһе Simla locality given in the 
Flora of Brit. India for this species refers to the specimens of Н. ensifolia collected by Lady Dalhousie. 
H. arietina is therefore not at present known to occur westward of Kumaon. 
T. HABENARIA INTERMEDIA Don Prod. Fl. Nep. 24. 
Stem 2 to 5 dm,, terete; sheaths at the base two or three, upper sub-foliaceous. Leaves 
scattered, 8 to 18 em. long and 2 to 6 cm. broad, ovate-oblong, acuminate, rounded or 
cordate at the base; nerves 5—7 impressed above. strongly prominent beneath. Racemes 
2—6-flowered; floral bracts leaf-like, broadly lanceolate acuminate, equalling or exceeding 
the ovary. Flowers about 5 сш. across. Sepals persistent and enlarging after flowering: 
dorsal 25 сш, long, ovate-lanceolate, acute, recurved at the apex, the inner surface 
almost white; lateral sepals spreading, falcately lanceolate, acuminate, 5 to 7-nerved, 
tips reflexed. Petals pure white, overlapping at their apices, as long as the dorsal 
вера] and tightly pressed against it, dimidiate-faicate, obtuse, margins minutely oiliolute.
