Pei-ak; in forests under 3,000 feet. E. Ilinmlaya; Assam; Khasia Hills; Chittagong.
Most of the specimens wliich I have seen from Assam, the Khasia Hills, and Cliittagong
have flower-pedicels under 2 inches long, and petals quite 6 inches long. Specimens
from Perak, oa the other hand, Lave shorter flowers (3 to 4 in. longj and much longer
(5 or 0 in.) and more slender peduncles; otiierwise the two sets agree. In many of
the flowers from both sets of localities there are only two petals.
