This has numerous flowers on long stalks at the end of a 
stout peduncle; and the very fleshy leaves are convex and acute. 
It is also quite different from S. calceolare in its decidedly cau- 
lescent habit. The flowers are whole-coloured, yellowish-brown, 
unspotted, with the lamina of the lip broad, triangular, and 
marked with a circular collection of crimson spots in the very 
disk. Griffith's plant is a narrow-leaved small state, as compared 
with the Sikkim form, which has twenty flowers at the end of 8 
stout peduncle 24 inches long. Ihave seen no specimen; and the 
Indian drawing, after which the definition in the Gen. & Sp. was 
prepared, seems to have been misunderstood. 
No Indian collection yet examined by me has contained a plant 
that answers to the account of S. dasypogon.

This has much the appearance of the last; but the petals are 
short and obtuse, the leaves much broader, the racemes. longer, 
and the flowers blood-red, except the lamina of the lip, which is 
white, with the two lateral short lobes greenish, succulent, and 
resembling oblong glands. The flowers are scentless (J. D. Н.). 
I have it from Griffith without locality.

Flowers not half as large as in the two last, which it much 
resembles. Sepals remarkably fleshy, narrow, with their points 
recurved, while from between the laterals projects the lamina of 
the labellum in the form of a minute spoon.
