Tliis is included by Dr. Wallich under his Uvularia Hamiltoniana ; but the 

 acuminate sepals, great length of the filaments, and the nearly sessile umbels 

 appear to me sufficient to entitle it to be regarded as a distinct species. 

 The above description is taken from the Sylhet specimens, but those from 

 Bunipa in Nepal do not appear to differ in any respect.

Buchanan Hamilton's plant is from the Morang Hills, and his specimens 

 are marked A in Wallich's Catalogue: to it therefore the trivial name Hamil- 

 tonianum is correctly applied. The specimens in Dr. Royle's Herl)arium 

 appear to be identical with those above mentioned. The umbels are distinctly
