“Plant of 3-8 inches. Flowers greenish-yellow. Moist, 
grassy situations by streams at base of the eastern flank of the 
Lichiang Range. Lat. 27° 12’ N. Alt. 1o-11,000 ft. June

This little species is nearly allied to H. Monorchis, R. Br. 
and H. alaschanicum, Maxim. It differs by the bare scape and 
the single basal leaf, as well as in the size of the flowers and the 
shape of the lip. The plant quoted by Finet (Rev. Génér. 
Bot. xii, p. 518), from Hee-chan-men (Yunnan), Delavay 
No. 86, under Herminium Monorchis, R. Br. belongs to this 
species.
