28 PROFESSOR LINDLEY'S CONTRIBUTIONS TO 
а plant with leaves 2 feet long, 12 broad, and a raceme almost as 
dense as in О. elegans. Wight’s figure resembles C. pendulum; 
but that does not seem to be а continental species. C. erectum 
(Wight, Ic. 1758) is very near this; I have not seen it.

florum, Griff. Itin. Notes, p. 126, No. 454.) 
Khesija, J. D. Н. & T. T. (267); Bootan, Griffith. 
The long leaves of this resemble those of some Carex; its long 
linear-lanceolate bracts far overtopping the flowers ; and the linear 
distant straight lamellz are quite peculiar. 
178. C. cocHLEARE ; foliis longissimis angustissimis caricinis, racemo 
debili multifloro, bracteis obsoletis, sepalis petalisque linearibus acu- 
minatis, labello angusto versus apicem dilatato trilobo lamellis in 
cochlear semiliberum apice confluentibus.

The habit is that of C. cyperifolium; but the bracts are almost 
obsolete, the very narrow sepals, petals, lip, and column are full 
2 inches long, and the lamellæ of the perfectly bald lip are united 
into а spoon-shaped process attached by its middle, The form of 
the end of the lip is unknown to me.

It is impossible to reconcile the statements made for Griffith 
by his editor, without assuming that some confusion of papers 
has taken place. This plant, which I have from himself with his 
own name, is evidently that to which the second description of 
his C. densiflorum applies, and has nothing to do with the first 
description, which applies either to a variety of C. elegans, or to 
something very near it. The hairy middle lobe of the lip assists 
in distinguishing this from C. elegans, to which it approaches.
