 species is described as a native of Borneo. Eeichenbach gives E. Indies, ? Khasia. 

 The specimens in Kew Herbarium are from Tenasserim, on rocks at Akyab, Po/rish.

 Tipper Burma have leaves 1 in. broad, the scape 18 in., and flower as in Fortuni, 

 except that the midlobe of the lip is very thick, and its wings cuneately oblong and 

 truncate.

 7023, and after de Vriese Illust. t. 8, add Begel Gartenfl. 1865, t. 404. — Veitch (Man. 

 Pt. vi. 15) describes P. hicolor as a var. of WalUcJiii, with small knobby rhizomes, 

 and smaller flowers having a tawny yellow spur and tube of the lip, and white mid- 

 lobe bordered with rose. It is a native of Ceylon. He retains F. grandifolms as a 

 different species, including Slmnei as a var. of it. The only tangible characters, 

 except colour, by which he distinguishes grandifolms from WalUohii are, that in the 

 former the sepals and petals are oblong-lanceolate, and the lip broadly obovate; 

 whilst in the latter the sepals and petals are linear-lanceolate and the lip broadly 

 oval. He gives the Himalayas as habitat for both. His var. Slumei differs from the 

 type (grand/ifolius) in the broader deep buff yellow petals and sepals faintly mottled 

 with red. As habitats of grandifoUus he gives, besides the original one of China, 

 the Himalaya, Cochin China and Australia; thus following Bentham (H. Austral. 

 vii. 804), who includes P. austraUs, leucofhceus and Carrowvi, of F. Muell) under 

 that species.
