165. E. HEMILEUCA; aphylla, vaginis 4 apice herbaceis, racemis 
longis laxis subsecundis, sepalis lineari-lanceolatis herbaceis, petalis 
latioribus planis, labelli trilobi laciniis lateralibus apice rectangulis

Plains of Rohileund, T. T. (219). 
Sepals green, petals white. The lip is very membranous, with 
avery few scattered ramenta on the veins of the middle lobe. 
Next .E. campestris. 
166. E. PRATENSIS; aphylla, vaginis caulis 5 acutissimis, racemo 
laxo multifloro, sepalis petalisque brevioribus oblongis acutis, labello 
oblato 3-lobo laciniis lateralibus ovatis obtusis intermedis ovate 
obtusze subzqualibus venis tribus cristatis, calcare brevi conico obtuso, 
Pasture lands in the Deccan, іп the cold season, Stocks (22 bis. E. virens, 
in herb. Hooker.). a 
Quite a different plant from 2. virens, to which Stocks referred 
it, known at sight by its short oblong sepals, still shorter petals, 
and obtuse 3-lobed 3-crested lip. 
167. E. DENSIFLORA ; aphylla, vaginis pluribus obtusis, racemo denso, 
bracteis inferioribus herbaceis ovario longioribus, sepalis petalisque 
lineari-lanceolatis his brevioribus, labelli trilobi calcare conico lobis 
lateralibus rotundatis intermedio ovato crispo, venis tribus fimbriatis, 
ovario calcaris longitudine. 
Bootan, Grifith. 
I have this by favour of the East India Company, through the 
good offices of Dr. Royle. . It is much larger in all its parts than 
any other of the aphyllous section. The ovary is not at all longer 
than the spur. 
168. E. ramentacea, Lindl. 1. c. (not Wight). 
Bootan, Griffith. 
169. E. rupestris, Lindl. 1. c. 
N. W. Himalayas, Royle, Jacquemont, Herb. Mus. Par. (53, 47). 
170. E. HASTATA ; aphylla, racemis gracilibus densis multifloris, brac- 
teis setaceis ovario brevioribus, sepalis petalisque linearibus distantibus 
acuminatis, labello unguiculato hastato trilobo acuminato lamellis 
2 altis integris supra unguem ortis ad sinus evanescentibus, calcare 
brevi oblongo. 
Assam, Griffith. 
The flowers are smaller than in any other of the aphyllous spe- 
cies. The nearly hastate lip, the side lobes curving forwards, and 
the two deep lamelle beginning above the unguis and vanishing 
into mere lines opposite the re-entering angles, are unlike anything 
else in the genus.
