SPECIES ASIATICAE. 21 
Naung-Chaung, Nwai divide. In marshy leaf mould by streams 
in elfin forest shade. Alt. 10,000 ft. June 1914.”’ F. Kingdon 
Ward. No. 1708. 
A peculiar species ; the racemes have a very zigzag rhachis 
with linear reflexed bracts, and very slender pedicels, which 
appear to be more or less prehensile. The upper and lower 
petals have an apiculus ; the bud at a certain stage consequently 
appears as if two-horned. The specific name is intended to in- 
dicate the delicately poised flowers which must be set in motion 
by the lightest current of air.

This variety does not diverge very far from some of the 
specimens collected by Henry near Mengtsz. It appears to 
fruit earlier. Forrest's specimens are in young fruit, already 
inclining to red, and that in June.
