Collection date: 22nd July 1882

Description: Flowers large pure white, about 204 inches long. Calyx of 5 free teeth, 2 half the length of the other 3, oblong obtuse membranous.
Miscellaneous notes: In consequence of an appeal from me, my friend Dr. W. Coury, Surgeon to the 42nd N.I., then stationed at Kohima, paid a visit Japvo to collect some plants for me. Of these perhaps the most successful was the re-gathering of my No 6461 in full flower. Near to but I think quite distinct from Rh. Maddeni Hook. f.. I have refered this point to Kew.
