154. A speciosa, Blume. (Cymbidium speciosum, Hb. Reinwardt.) 
Java; Lobb (217) ; Goorgong, Assam, Griffith ; common in rocky places 
in wet situations on Mt. Ophir, at the height of 2500 feet, where it is 
called Paddam Bhattoo, Id. 
This is principally distinguished from A. bambusifolia by the 
terminal lobes of its lip being parallel and overlapping each other, 
while in 4. bambusifolia they divaricate. A. affinis has smaller 
flowers and narrower petals. .4. densa is much more distinct, its 
flowers being closely arranged, and the middle lobe of the lip 
almost obsolete. 
NEPHELAPHYLLUM, Blume. 
155. N: @0tdifolium. (Cytheris cordifolia, Lind’. Gen. & Sp. p. 128.) 
Khasija, at 4000 feet, J. D. H. (147). 
* Flowers pale green, striped with pale purple; lip pale purple." 
J.D. Н. These specimens are much larger than Wallich's from 
Silhet. The plant appears to spread and creep among moss, through 
which the leaves and flowering stem arise. In N. tenuiflorum; BL., 
which resembles this, the flowers are much smaller as well as more 
numerous, and the leaves are frequently almost truncate at the base. 
N. pulchrum, Bl., which is the Limodorum maculattm of Reinwardt’s 
unpublished drawings, is much dwarfer, the scape not being longer 
than the leaves, which are purple beneath, clouded with varying 
tints of green on the upper side, and in form oval-acuminaie ; the 
flowers are straw-coloured with a purple spur and a yellow crest 
in the middle of an undivided lip. The genus certainly belongs 
to Epidendree, in the neighbourhood of Bletia. 
Evioruia, R. Br. 
156. E. bracteosa, Lindl. in Wall. Cat. No. 7366. (E. grandiflora, Id. 
Gen. & Sp. p. 181.) 
Khasija, at 2000 feet, J. D. Н. $ T. T. (222). 
Further examination has satisfied me that there is no difference 
between the above two supposed species. I even doubt whether 
there has not been some error in making E. grandiflora a native 
of Ceylon. 
157. E. graminea, Lindl. 1. c. No. 13. | 
Мајасеа, Cuming; Burma, at Amherst, in woods near the sea, Griffith ; 
plains of Behar, J. D. Н. & T. T. (221). 
This inust tio longer be regarded as a Malay plant, the spe- 
cithens from Behar differing in nothing except the flowers being 
rather smaller, with the lip less deeply 3-lobed.
