tubular. Petals narrow linear, staminodes large and 

 conspicuous rounded ovate oblong \ an inch long, \ inch 

 across bright yellow. 



Lip small very narrow linear bifid at the tip for 

 about \ its length, yellow. Filament long slender,

Shan States, (Coll. Micholitz). 



This very curious Globba came up in a plant of 

 Cijpripedium bellatalum cultivated in the Botanic Gar- 

 dens. It is remarkable not only for its almost leafless 

 habit, which is seen in some others of the species from 

 this region, but especially from its very large staminode, 

 the most conspicuous part of the flower. The flowers 

 resemble some small yellow butterfly. 



G. glandulosa, n. sp. 



Stem 18 inches tall. Leaves lanceolate acuminate 

 caudate hispid 4^ inches long, f inch wide narrowed at 

 base, sheath and ligule hairy. Panicle 2 inches long 

 slender with few short branches. Bracts ovate oblong 

 cuspidate glandular, J inch long. Calyx funnel-shaped 

 with three equal lanceolate cuspidate leaves | of an inch 

 long glandular corolla-tube twice as long shortly pubes- 

 cent dilate upwards, lobes ovate obtuse dotted all over 

 with glands. Staminodes linear much shorter. Lip short 

 and broad half as long as the petals, bilobed lobes 

 broad rounded. Filament rather stout. Anther with a 

 single rather thick horn from near the base on each 

 side, ovary glabrous ribbed. 



Sarawak : Mt. Lingga (Hewitt). 



Flowers light purple or red. Leaves with a red brown 

 tinge on the under surface. The most curious thing 

 about this species is the glandular dotting of the whole 

 of the perianth, petals staminodes lip and filament. 

 The hairy leaves and very short broad lip are also pecu- 

 liar points.
