Southern Shan States, at 3,000 ft. Ehillimore ! Flowers in May 
before the leaves appear. Not quite matched in either the Kew or 
the Calcutta Herbarium, ])ut coming very near to Eulophia fiava Hook. f. 
The flowers are a little larger with the mid-lobe of the lip Buborbicular 
and traversed by five ridges. The plant is possibly scarcely distinct 
specifically, and may be merely a variety of that species which ranges 
from the West Himalaya to Nepal, and is also recorded from Travancore 
and Hong- Kong.
