THE ORCHIDOLOGY OF INDIA. 19 
** Labello trilobo. 
135. D. PANDURATUM ; subacaule, folis membranaceis acutissimis 
racemis filiformibus erectis brevioribus, bracteis minutis squami- 
formibus, sepalis petalisque linearibus acuminatis, mento recto conico 
semiaperto, labello zequilongi pandurato (trilobo lobis lateralibus ro- 
tundatis intermedio duplo majore crenulato apiculato). 
Ceylon, hb. Hooker. (147); Thwaites (2353). 
A small species almost referable to Bolbodium. 
. 186. D. erieflorum, Griffith, Not. iii. 316. t. 307. 
Khasija, in Myrung Wood, on dry ridges, Griffith (1020), on rocks and 
dry trunks of trees at 2000-5000 feet, J. D. Н. & T. T. (18). 
This forms tufts from 4 to. 9 inches high. The stems are 
covered with great loose sheaths of fallen leaves. The flowers 
are in dense nodding racemes ; according to Cathcart’s drawing, 
greenish yellow with purple. mentum. The lip is strongly veined 
and edged with purple; its side lobes regularly and sharply ser- 
rated, its middle lobe small, oblate, apiculate, and entire. It 
would be a beautiful species in a garden. 
137. D. PvcNosTACHYUM; eaulibus laxe membranaeeo-vaginatis ereetis 
carnosis, foliis ...... , racemis densis cylindraceis, bracteis setaeeis rec- 
tangulis persistentibus ovario squalibus, sepalis linearibus acuminatis, 
petalis minoribus, mento brevi obtuso incurvo, labelli lobis lateralibus 
acutis integerrimis intermedio triangulari reeurvo crispo parum latio- 
ribus axi juxta sinus abrupto elevato. 
Moulmein, T. Lobb. 
Like D. eriaflorum, but with smaller and denser flowers and а 
totally different lip. 
138. D. microbolbon, Ach. Richard, Ann. Sc..n.s. xv. t. 8. (D. bumile, 
R. Wight, Ic. 1643. D. crispum, Daizell, in Hooker's Journal, iv. 
p. 111.) 
Trees in Western India, Daizell (Hb. Stocks. 34). 
There is no doubt that all three of the above plants are the 
same. A. Richard's figure is very formal and uncharacteristic. 
139. D. denudans, Don, Prodr. 34. 
Sikkim, in the drier valleys, at 9000 feet, J- 1 D. H. (20); E. Nepel, at 
4000 feet, Id. 
This varies in height from 4 to 15 inches. In the Sikkim plant 
the colours are bright red on a pale yellow ground, according to а 
drawing by Dr. Hooker; in gardens they are much greener. 
140. D.. PEGUANUM; caulibus ovatis czspitosis, foliis (imearibus?), 
racemis: ereetis densis malisa pertains юби
