I. OLAViooKNU, 2Vre«. I.e. 1859, i. 271. The description will apply to any of the 

 long-spurred species of group A 1. 



I. DEBius, Turcz. I.e. 1859, i. 271, may be I. tenella or any of its allies. 



I. ASSAMENSI3, Oriff. Not. PL Asiat. iv. 459, t. 576, f. 1. It is impossible to say 

 what plant is meant here. The description answers best to I. stenantha in its habit, 

 veiy long peduncles, small fli)wera, and glabrous foliage, &c. ; but the figure cited is 

 that of a very robust and very pubescent plant (like /. seabrida), with an immense 

 Hower, totally differing from the description in every respect. — Banks of the Burram- 

 poota in sandy places near Diboug Mookh, Griffith. 



I. MALATENSI3, Griff, l.c. 457, t. 576, f. 2. From the imperfect description this is 

 probably one of the forms of /. Bahamina. — Mergui, Griffith. ' 



I. ?' From Eamgunga in Kumaon, alt. 7200 ft., Strach. & Wini. — Eesembles I. laxi- 

 flora, Edgew., but has very bjoad green sepals. 



I.? Baltal in Kashmir, T. Thomson; and Marri, Fleming. — Probably a form of 

 I. amphorata or /. hieomuta. ' 



1. ? Marri, Fleming. — Probably a form of laxiflora, but the leaves are sharply ser- 

 rate and buds larger. 



I. ? Khagnmp, Griffith (? Khagumpa in Bhotan). — A suflGruticose species with the 

 habit of I. leeBigata, but flowers twice as large, and the very large standard herbaceous 

 and crested ; wings apparently rounded ; lip large, deeply boatrsbaped ; spur stout, 

 clubbed at the tip.

A glabrous erect marst lierb. Leaves narrow, alternate. Flowers in 

 short axiUary 1-2-flowered peduncles, irregular. Sepals 5, coloured, im-

 Hiamens 5, filaments short flat ; anthers slightly cohering around the pistil. 

 Ovary 5-celled ; stigmas 5 sessile ; ovules 2-3 in each cell. Drupe baccate,
