Micropera, Daizell. 
225. M. maculata, Dalzell, in Hooker’s Journal, iii. 282. 
On trees near Tulkut, in the Western Ghauts, in lat. 16? N., Dalzell, in 
hb. Stocks. (25). : 
I have already stated that my genus Micropera must be reduced ` 
to Camarotis. The present plant, which seems по®%о be referable 
to any known genus, may as well, however, retain the name. Mr. 
Dallzell’s account of it із good as far as it goes, describing ċor- 
rectly the very curious lip, which looks like a side saddle with two 
horns instead of one,—the pouch, into which there is an opening 
only between the horns, being almost concealed by the lamina, 
which hangs down in the manner of saddle-flaps. The column, 
which Mr. Dalzell does not mention, falls back, is small, short, 
semiterete, with a vertical rostellum pointing downwards, and 
dividing into a pair of broad scissor-like blades. Upon this lies 
a great oblong gland, to which is attached an obovate channeled 
membranous caudicula. | 
N.B. Micropera viridiflora, Dalzell, is Saccolabium viridiftorum, 
No. 217. 
STEREOCHILUS, n. gen. 
Acaulis. Folia lorata, apice obliqua. Racemi laterales, làxi, 
flexuosi, pauciflori (hirti). Sepala et petala subæqualia paten- 
tissima, lateralibus labello leviter adnatis. Zabellwm solidum; 
carnosum, sacciforme, facie superiore concava basi bicorni. Co- 
lumna recta, teres, basi haud producta, rostello horizontali 
subulato. Pollinia 4, oblonga, omnino distincta, caudieula &e- 
tacea, glandula minutissima. 
This genus is near Camarotis, from which it differs in its 
solid bag-shaped lip with a pair of horns at the base, in its se- 
taceous caudicula, and in the 4 oblong pollen-masses being per- 
fectly distinct from each other. 
226. S. hirtus. 
Khasija, at 5000 feet, J. D. Н. $ T. T. (177). 
Leaves narrow, rather more than 4 inches long by $ths wide. 
Racemes 7-8-flowered. Flowers less than 4 ап inch in diameter, 
free from the coarse short hairs that clothe the ovary and pedicels.

227. S. juncifolia, Blume, : 
Seems to be the only species, if the genus is‘characterized by 
the two.long erect filiform processes of the column: Otherwise 
there is nothing sufficient to distinguish the geus: from Baétó»
