H. SALACCENSIS, 



Blwrne. — This species is 

 truly more curious than 

 beautiful. It is a plant 

 which forms a stouter 

 tuber than most of the 

 known species, and has 

 a stout stem, which grows 

 to some 12 or 15 inches 

 high, bearing leaves, 

 broadly lanceolate, acu- 

 minate, with prominent 

 nerves, deep green ; 

 raceme terminal, some- 

 what lax ; sepals green, 

 petals much narrower, 

 almost thread-like, red ; 

 lip small, white, with a 

 few red spots. Blooms 

 in spring and early sum- 

 mer. — Mount Scdak, Java.
