Temepbate Himalaya, alt. 8-11,000 ft., from Simla eastwards to Sikkim. — 

 DiSTKiE. Europe, N. Asia, N. America. 



/Store 4-8 in. Leaves da.rk grey or mottled with paler, ^-1 in. Spihe l-4i in,, 

 often twisted, sometimes almost glabrous; flowers whitish; lateral sepals i in., 

 ovate, acuminate, 1-nerved, , dorsal narrow ; petals linear, falcate ; rostellar arms 

 short ; pollinia small, pyriform, sessile on the small gland. 



6. G-. fusca, Jlook.f. Ic.Pl. imed. ; very robust ; leaves radical broadly 

 ovate, spike secnnd pubescent, bracts exceeding tbe flowers, lip deeply sac- 

 cate with a, decurved beak strongly ridged within, column very short, 

 anther very small stipitate didymous. Sltheria fusca, Lindl. in Jowrn.

StJBALPiNE Himalaya; Harung, Munro ; Garwhal, alt. 13,000 ft., Dutkie ; 

 Sikkim, in the inner ranges, alt. 12-14,000 ft., J. J). E. 



Roots densely tufted. Stem 6-12 in., often as thick as a swan's quill. Leaves 

 revolute, l-lj in. , subacute, coriaceous ; petiole very short and broad. Spike very 

 many- and dense-fld. ; sepals ^ in., obtuse, dorsal narrow, 1-nerved, latei'al ovate- 

 oblong, sub-3-nerved ; petals gibbously falcate ; sac of lip protruding beyond the 

 base of the sepals, 5-7-ridged within ; column broad, rostellar arms subulate ; anther 

 apiculate. — Closely allied to G. repens, though much larger. Besides differing in 

 habit and locality it wants the calli in the lip of Ci/storchis, under which genus 

 see observation. 



6. G. recurva, Lindl. in Journ. Linn. Soc. i. 283 ; leaves linear- 

 lanceolate acute, spike secund sharply deflexed glandular-pubescent, bracts 

 filiform exceeding the small flowers, lip deeply saccate, beak nearly straight 

 5-ridged within, column with long slender rostellar arms, anther acu- 

 minate.

SrT. T. 



stem 4-6 in., sheathed by the leaves, suddenly decurved at the top, so that the 

 spike is pendulous. Leaves 2-3 by ^— J in. , thick, acute, nerveless, not reticulate, 

 narrowed into the broad petiole. Spike 3 in. long; flowers completely seound ; 

 sepals i in. long, 1-nerved, acuminate, dorsal ovate-lanceolate, lateral broader, 

 ialcate ; petals obliquely linear-lanceolate ; lip rather longer than the column, tip 

 obtuse. Capsule pedicelled, ellipsoid, J in. long. 



7. G. Prainli, Hook.f. Ic. PI. ined. ; leaves ovate acute, spike secund 

 recurved glandular-pubescent, bracts lanceolate equalling the flowers, lip 

 cymbiform obtuse lamellate within, column with long rostellar arms, anther 

 acuminate. 



Naoa Hills in Upper Assam; on Pulinabadya, alt. 7200 ft., Prain. 



Very near G. recurva, but the leaves are 1-1^ in., ovate and strongly reticulately 

 nerved, the spike recurved, but not deflexed, the sepals are broader, the lateral not 

 falcate, and the lip is less saccate. 



8. Cr. gracilis, Koolc. f. Ic. PI. ined. ; leaves few petioled elliptic- 

 ovate, stem very slender nearly naked, spike short puberulous, bracts 

 shorter than the flowers, lip straight oblong concave beaked below the 

 emarginate tip, with two large calli at the base within, and a very thick 

 channelled lamella on the disk, column short, rostellar arms slender. 



Peeak, ScortecJimi. 



Whole plant 8-10 in. high ; stem slender, with 2-3 distant lanceolate sheaths.
