THE ORCHIDOLOGY OF INDIA. 21 
with red transverse veins. Apparently the axis is fleshy, e'evated, 
and extended as far as the point of the lip. 
Obs.— Dendr. pumilum, Roxb. Fl. Ind. 479, is not the plant so 
called by Griffith, if the statement in the former work can be 
trusted; but the specific character and description are so much 
at variance, that some error of the Indian transcriber is to be 
suspected. 
D. crepidatum, Griff. Notul. iii. p. 319, is quite different from 
the species so named by me. But the printed description is so 
confused and self-contradictory, that I have not been able to 
identify the species. 
Prof. Reichenbach reduces the genera CApETIA, LATOURIA, and 
Dicuorvs to the present genus. I have examined no specimens 
of them. 
Cryprocuitus, Wallich. 
145. C. SANGUINEA (Id.); calyce oblongo bis longiore quam lato la- 
ciniis acuminatis, petalis labelloque obovatis acutis, polliniis viridibus.

Flowers crimson, Capsule pyriform, strongly and equally six- 
ribbed. 
146. C. LUTEA ; calyce ovato longitudine et latitudine zequalibus laciniis 
triangularibus, petalis labelloque lanceolatis, polliniis luteis. 
Mishmee, Griffith; Darjeeling, Id. ; Sikkim, Cathcart. 
This very distinct species occurs only among my specimens 
from Griffith and in Cathcart’s drawings, according to which the 
flowers are of one uniform clear-yellow colour. Calyx much con- 
tracted at the mouth, and not at all longer than broad; petals 
linear-lanceolate; lip lanceolate. Pollen-masses yellow, not green 
as in the last. Capsule obscurely six-ribbed. I can find no trace 
of this remarkable plant among Griffith’s descriptions or notes.
