oHong, compressed ; testa rugose. — The following varieties are distinguished as species 

 by Mr. Edgeworth : — 



Var. 1. amphorata proper; stipular glands pedicelled, standard crested, wings un- 

 equally hatchet-shaped, lip very obtuse, spur incurved, capsule subterete. I. ampho- 

 rata, EdgemoHh, I.e. I. longicornu. Wall. Cat. 4729, in part. I. umbrosa, Nol. m 

 Linn. Soc. Jomn. I. picta, KnowUs & Wescott Floral CaUnet, t. 128 {according to 

 a specimen in Serb. Lindley). j i v 



Vak. 2. umbrosa; stipular glands sessile obtuse, pedicels glandular, lip gradually 

 narrowed into the incurved spur, capsule subtorulose. I. umbrosa. Edgew. in Trans. 

 Linn. Soc. xx. 39. I. longicornu, var. a and S, nob. I.e. I. bicolor, Boyle III. 151, 

 t. 28. I.noylei, Klotzsch in MeisePr. Wald.U I, t.\6K 



Vae. 3. pollens ; stipular glands unequal ear-shaped, pedicels thickened eglandular, 

 flowers smaller paler, lip gradually narrowed into a revolute spur. I. pallens, Edgew. 

 I.e. 39. I. longicornu, var. pallens, Nob. I.e. 



109. I. Edg'eworthil, Hook/.; tall, robust, branched, glabrous, leaves 

 large petioled elliptic acuminate acutely serrate, peduncles subterminal 

 fascicled, raceme short, interrupted, bracts large keeled persistent often 

 whorled, flowers large yellow and red, sepals very large orbicular midrib 

 crested, standard orbicular crested, lateral wing-lobes obliquely oblong, 

 terminal oblong, lip funnel-shaped narrowed into an incurved spur. 

 I. longicornu, var. y cristata, Nob. in Journ. Linn. Soc. iv. 148. 



Western Temperate Himalaya at Kundau and the Beas Valley in Kuld, Edge- 

 worth. 



This resembles vsry clofely I. bicornuta in habit, stature, and foliage, but the leaves 

 are sharply serrate, the serratures tipped with glandular bristles, the sepals are very 

 large, nearly J in. long, crested on the midrib, and the lip is broadly funnel-shaped, 

 without the callous green points of that species. From /. umbrosa it differs in the 

 same points (except the last). The stipular glands are tumid ; the bracts boat-shaped, 

 with long stiff glandular points ; the flower 1 in. long from the tip of the standard to 

 the spur ; the sepals green, rest of the flower yellow streaked with red, except the 

 broad crested midrib of the standard, which is green. Capsule and seeds as in 

 I. amphorata. 



110. I. mlshmlensis, Hoolc.f. ; quite glabrous, stem stout branched, 

 leaves petioled elliptic-oblanceolate acuminate serrate, peduncles stout 

 axillary, flowers large white in broken whorls, bracts large whorled per- 

 sistent, sepals large broad ovate, standard orbicular obtusely spurred at 

 the back, terminal wing-lobes elongate, lip funnel-shaped narrowed into a 

 short incurved spur. 



MisHMi Mts., Griffith. 



A stout apparently succulent plant, 4 ft. high. Leaves 6 in., crowded towards the 

 ends of the branches, membranous, sometimes gland-tipped, nerves very slender ; petiole 

 1^-2 in. ; stipular glands or obsolete. Peduncles stout, shorter than the leaves ; bracts 



in., spreading, acuminate, concave, green ; pedicels |-1 in. Flowers few, more or 

 less umbelled, about 1^ in. diam. ; sepals and standard flesh-coloured ; wings apparently 

 clawed and 2-lohed, both lobes being narrow, the terminal larger, tinged with yellow, 

 and with 2 yellow spots ; lip large ; spur about 1 in. Capsule unripe, 1-lJ in., linear. 



111. I. radiatai Hook.f.; tall, quite glabrous, much branched, leaves 

 long-petioled elliptic-ovate or lanceolate acuminate crenate, peduncles 

 fascicled towards the ends of the branches erect, pedicels very numerous 

 more or less whorled, bracts persistent, flowers small yellow or purplish, 

 sepals small, standard orbicular, terminal wing-lobe elongate, lip conical 

 ending in a short straight spur. I. racemosa, H.f. & T. in Linn. Soc, 

 Journ. iv. 147, not of Be Canddle and Wallich.
