Molineria prainiana Deb spec. nov. (Family : Hypoxidaceae) is described with illustrations. The specimen was originally collected by I. H. Burkill in 1912, from Janakmukh during Abor Expedition and named by D. Prain as Curculigo grandis Prain in MSS., followed by publication of the name only by I. H. Burkill in Rec. bot. Surv. India (11 : 386, 1925) without any description. Recently J. Mitra in his Flowering Plants of Eastern India (1 : 50, 1958) made the new combination Molineria grandis Mitra that stands illegitimate. The same specimen is now named after late D. Prain, and described here anew. A specimen collected by N. L. Bor and published by K. Biswas (1940) under the name Curculigo grandis Baker is also included in the description.
