 No. 575. 



A species allied to G. bipunctatum, Hook. fil. The sepals and 

 petals are of a pale orange colour, with bold transverse blotches of 

 purplish- brown, the lip is pale yellow. The species, originally sent 

 from Perak by the late H. H. Kunstler, has flowered in the Botanic 

 Garden, Calcutta, for several years in succession. 



NEOTTIEJE. 



Pogonia Parishiana, n. spec. Whole plant 2 to 4 in. high, leafless 

 when flowering. Flowering scapes one and a half to three inches in height, 

 each enveloped at its base by a lax wide-mouthed sheath *5 to 1 in. 

 long, and bearing about its middle a smaller narrower one. Flowers 

 1 to 3, each about 1 in. in length and of a pink colour ; floral bract 

 linear, longer than the pedicelled tumid ovary. Sepals and petals sub- 

 equal, linear-lanceolate, acuminate. Lip a little longer than the sepals, 

 elongated-rhomboid in general outline, 3-lobed in its anterior half ; side- 

 lobes small, bluntly triangular, their apices directed outwards, the 

 disc between them sparsely pubescent, convolute round the column, 

 apical lobe not convolute, much larger than the lateral lobes, triangular 

 with a very broad base and sub-acute apex, the edges minutely undulate 

 and the upper surface densely hairy.

The leaves of this are unknown. The flowers somewhat resemble 

 those of P. biflora, Wight ; but in that species the terminal lobe of the 

 lip is quite glabrous and emarginate, whereas in this it is sub-acute and 

 pubescent in the upper surface. This also resembles the species referred 

 to by Sir Joseph Hooker in the Flora of Br. India (VI, 119) of which 

 Mr. Parish gave a drawing (but no specimen) to the Kew Herbarium, 

 under the name P. cuprea, Parish MSS. 



Pogonia Khasiana, n. spec. Leaf sub-rotund, 5-angled, green, 

 about 1*75 in. in diam., cordate at the base, petiole 1 in. long. Flower- 

 ing scape 3 in. high, with a single terminal flower, and two linear- 

 oblong acuminate bracts, one at the base, the other at the middle. 

 Flower '75 in. long; its bract ovate-lanceolate, acute, concave, shorter 

 than the shortly stalked rather stout ovary. Sepals linear-oblong, 

 acuminate. Petals of the same shape but smaller, all connivent. Lip 

 somewhat shorter than the sepals, the basal portion clasping the column ; 

 the side-lobes triangular, their apices slightly up-turned, the apical lobe 

 oblong-rhomboid, flat or slightly deflexed near the apex, its upper sur- 

 face smooth and with a thickened Hue down the middle. Column slender, 

 the apex dilated.
