The ancipitous leaves clearly distinguish this group from all 
other Dendrobia. The genus Ozystophyllum differs in nothing 
except having only two globose pollen-masses instead of four. 
D. (Aporum) sinuatum of the * Bot. Register, 1841, Misc. No. 3, 
which has quite the habit of Ox. carnosum, seems to connect the 
two genera ; for although it has four pollen-masses, two are much 
smaller than the others, as if rudimentary *.

His erroneous description of the lip of this plant was corrected 
by Griffith in a later paper: the specimen in my herbarium which 
I refer to here differs in the lip being too broad to be called 
“ linear-oblong" ; but I have seen nothing else to which Griffith’s 
description will apply.

А. flower in the Hookerian Herbarium shows this to be the 
Macrostomium aloifolium, Blume, which is confirmed by one of : 
Kuhl and Hasselt’s unpublished drawings. It is, however, not 
the Herba supplex quinta of Rumphius, as I formerly suspected, 
the figure of that plant certainly representing D. (A.) subteres. 
According to Griffith this is also the Dend. acinaciforme, Roxb. 
74. D. (A.) LoBBi1: caulibus apice aphyllis, foliis scalpelliformibus 
duplo longioribus quam latis; floribus minutissimis terminalibus; se- 
palis recurvis ; labello erecto carnoso trilobo ; lobis lateralibus bre- 
vioribus unguiculato.

This looks like a very small state of D. Serra; but the leaves are 
* Prof. Н. ©. Reichenbach reduces OzystopAyllum to Dendrobium. Neither 
the materials with which he has favoured me nor those in my own herbarium 
enable me to form a decided opinion on the subject. In fact that whole genus, 
if it be one, is in inextricable confusion. A fragment of Blume's Sarcostoma, 
and a drawing of the details of its structure, for which I am also indebted to 
my learned friend, seem to show that that genus should be preseryed. The 
pollen-masses are represented as having long tails, and have no resemblance to 
Blume's figure.
