This description is based on the examination and analyses of flowers from 47
specimens. The species stands almost exactly intermediate between P. Przcwalskii and
P. Garelceana. Tlie diagnosis from P. :Brzeioalskii has been already given: the diagnosis
from P. Garclccana is as follows:—
galea base reflesed, thin, inflated, abruptly beaked beak straight;
mid-lobe of lip rounded; all filaments equally hairy, stamens
inserted distinctly below apes of tube P- Daltoni ;
galea base erect, not inflated, gradually beaked beak circiimate; midlohe
of lip cuueate, projecting; posterior filaments very sparingly
hirsute, stamens inserted near apes of tube P- Garckeana.
The deeply 2-fid beak at once distiagaishes the species from P. asplenifolia and its
allies.

Tbe description of P. Garckeana is based on the examination of 57 specimens; two
or more flowers from specimens of each gathering have been analysed. The shorter
specimens very closely resemble taller ones of P. Daltoni on the one hand and of
P. 7-ohusta on the other; between these two species this stands intermediate in many
respects. At tbe same time by the taller Labit of many of its specimens, by the
longer and narrower cuneate mid-lobe of lip, and by the posterior filaments being
distinctly less hirsute than the anterior, it approaches F. mcifalantlia, certain forms of
which it sometimes closely resembles. The diagnosis from P. Daltoni has been given;
from P. rohusta it is diagnosed as follows:—
mid-loba of lip cuneate; galea ereet, not inflated; beak circianate,
long; posterior filaments sparingly hairy p. Garckeana ;
mid-lobe of lip rounded; galea reflesed, inflated; beak straight,
short; all filaments equally hairy p. ^ohmta;
while from P. megalantlia the diagnosis is—
tnbe short, half eseeeding calyx; galea erect, beak deeply 2.fid,
segments acute; posterior filaments sparingly hairy p. Gai-ckmna;
tube much exceeding oalys; galea reflexed, beak shortly 2-fid,
segments obtuse; posterior filaments quite glabrous P. megahtUlut.
