Observation. 
I can discover no difference between this* rare Nepal plant and that of the Cachar 
mountains. It is a very elegant object when in blossom, differing in the structure of 
its flowers from all the Orchide® with which I am acquainted. I call it a rare plant, 
for I have only met with it once, and that on a single spot on mount Chandaghiry.
