12 PROFESSOR LINDLEY' S CONTRIBUTIONS TO 
each other that it is searcely possible to find good distinctions 
for them. Even when seen alive in their natural state, the uneer- 
tainty is the same. “ All the species," says Griffith, “ with cochle- 
ate labella are nearly akin; they run into each other so much, 
that distinguishing marks are very difficult." (Itinerary Notes, 
p. 185, speaking of a form of Dendrobium nobile found at Panukka 
in Bootan.) 
103. D. pulchellum, Lindl. Gen. & Sp. No. 35; Bot. Cab. t. 1935. 
(D. brevifolium, Hort. D. Devonianum, Pazton, B. M. t. 4429, D. 
pictum, Griffith.) 
Khasija, J. D. Н. (15); Bootan, Griffith. 
I have this from Bootan from Griffith, under the name of D. 
pictum, but have failed to discover any trace of it in his Itinerary 
Notes. | 
104. D. Pierardi, Rozb. ЕІ. Ind. З. 482. 
Valleys of Sikkim, Cathcart; J. D. Н. (5). 
105. D. primulinum, Lindl. in Gard. Chron, 1858, no. 223. (D. nobile 
pallidiflorum, Bot. Mag. t. 5003.) 
Hot valleys of Sikkim, J. D. H. (154). 
Possibly this is not distinct from D. cucullatum, as is suggested 
in the work above referred to. 
106. D. transparens, Wallich, Cat. No. 2008. (D. Henshalli, Rchb. f. ; 
Bot. Mag. t. 4663.) 
Sikkim, at 2000 feet, J. D. H. (153) ; on rocks towards Chuka, in Bootan, 
and near Murichom, at 3500 to 4000 feet, Griffith. 
Iam unable to distinguish the Sikkim specimens from this 
plant, although they aré somewhat larger than such as have ap- 
peared in our gardens; there can be no doubt that it is the No. 
1135 of ‘ Griffith's Itin. Notes,’ p. 198, and Prof. Rehb. has himself 
pointed out the identity of his D. Henshalli. 
107. D. amoenum, Wallich, in Lindl, Gen. & Sp. Orch. p. 78. 
Sikkim, Cathcart (Ic.). 
This is readily known by its narrow, blunt, nearly equal sepals 
and petals, each with a purple stain at the point. 
108. D. nobile, Lindl. Gen. $ Sp. Orch. 24. (D. cerulescens, Lindl, 
Sert. Orch. t. 17.) 
Khasija, Griffith, J. D. H.; Darjeeling, Griffith; Assam, Id. 
Evidently variable in the size, and probably in the colours, 
of the flowers, It is the No. 940 of Griffith’s Itin. Notes, p. 184.
