This wants the peculiar column of Schonorchis, and is in no 
respect distinguishable from Saccolabium. The leaves seem to 
vary much in size. 
209. S. CHIONANTHUM; foliis teretibus recurvisspicis simplicibus equa- 
libus, floribus (minutis) carnosis, sepalis obtuse carinatis petalisque 
minoribus apiculatis, labello apice appendice plano-convexa trian- 
gulari instructo calcare horizontali oblongo, anthera apice lineari 
elongata erecta.— Schenorchis micrantha, Blume, l. с. 
Java, Reinwardt. 
Like the last, this is quite without the essential character of 
Sehenorehis. The whole plant is only 4 or 5 inches long, with 
minute snow-white flowers.

.. 6 Sp. no. 11.—Aerides ampullaceum, Roxb. Fl. Ind. iii. 476.) 
Sikkim, in hot valleys, J. D. H. (196). 
The flowers are rather larger than in Wallich’s specimens. Ж. 
miniatum (Bot. Reg. 1848, t. 58) differs in little except colour, 
varying greatly in the size of its flowers. ' 
211. 8. brevifolium, Lindl. 1. с. по. 27. 
Ceylon, Thwaites (488.—S. virescens, Gardner MSS.), Gardner (871), 
The form sent from Ceylon by Thwaites appears to be identical 
with the original plant, except in having the-flowers green in- 
stead of red. |

213. 8. PALLENS (Cathcart, MSS.); caulibus longis pendulis ramosis 
radicantibus, foliis carnosis loratis oblique obtusis, racemis axillaribus 
laxis flexuosis foliis brevioribus, sepalis petalisque oblongis :equalibus, 
calcare cornuto duplo longiore, limbi 3-lobi laciniis parvis subsequa- 
libus lateralibus rotundatis intermedia acuta. 
Sikkim, Cathcart. 
Thave seen no specimen of what seems a very distinct and hand- 
Some species; the above description is taken from à figure of Mr. 
Cathcart. The plant is represented as having branches 9 inches 
long, protruding strong free flexible roots as long or longer than 
themselves, leaves 8 inches, and loose zigzag racemes 4-5 inches. 
The flowers аге whitish, with a pink line in the middle of each 
вера and petal, and on the outside of the long curved spur, It 
is very near the next species; but the flowers are much larger, ahd 
the middle lobe of the lip, instead of being as long as the spur, is 
merely a triangular point, _ i SS алма же
