Of the Himalayan apociea of HaheitaHa this plant appears to be 
moat nearly related to ij. goodyeroides. It differs prineipaUy in having 
much narrower aod thinner leaves, and they are placed much lower 
down on the stem. The flowering spikes are longer and narrower j 
the Sowers arc much smaller and aUogetlior green ; the floral bracta 
are shorter, and the shape of the lip is very different. I have mnch 
pleasure in dedicating this species to Lady Elizabeth Babington- Smith, 
whose keen atxd practical interest in tho botany ot Simla during the 
Yicercyalty of her father, Lord Elgin, resulted in several interesting 
discoveries.
