THE ORCHIDOLOGY OF INDIA. 41 
236. A. cylindricum, Lindl. l.c. 3 Wight, Ic. 1744; Bot. Mag. 4982. 
Nilgherries, J. D. H. (210); Sikkim, at 5000 feet, Id. (210). 
237. A. teniale, Lindl. l.c. (Aerides carnosum, Griff. Not. t. 338A.) 
Bootan, Griffith; Khasija mountains, up to 3000 feet, J. D. H. & T. T. 
(191). 
“ Flowers pale lilac,’ J. D. H. In the Khasija specimens the 
leaves are from 4 to 5 inches long, and 1 to 14 inch broad. 
238. A. affine, Wallich, Cat. no. 7316; Sertum Orch. t. 15; Bot. Mag. 
t.4049, bad. (A. roseum, Loddiges; Paxton, Fl. Gard. t. 60.—A. 
trigonum, Klotzsch, fide Rchb. f.) 
Plains of Е. Bengal and Assam, J. D. Н. & T. T. (185); Assam and 
Bootan, Griffith. 
Among the many specimens I have seen, flowers have occurred 
in drooping and upright racemes, deep crimson and pale rose, 
with the lip and other parts acute or obtuse, all which are there- 
fore marks of one and the same variable species. 
239. A. odoratum, Loureiro. 
Base of Khasija, up to 2000 feet, J. D. Н. $ T. T. (182); Garden of 
Saharunpore, Id.; Sikkim, in low valleys, J. D. Н. 
240. A. crispum, Lindl. Gen. & Sp. Orch. p. 239; Bot. Reg. 1842, t. 
55; Bot. Mag. t. 4427. (A. Brookei, Bateman, in B. В. 1841, mise. 
116.—Saccolabium speciosum, Wight, Ic. t. 1674.) 
Concan, Law, in hb. Hooker. (268); Dalzell, in hb. Stocks. (75). 
Several varieties of this beautiful plant are in our gardens. 
The flowers in A. Brookei are rather smaller than usual. 
241. A. Liudleyanum, Wight, Ic. t. 1677. " 
“On clefts of rocks bordering the Kartairy falls below Kaitie; also on 
rocky clefts on a high hill over Coonoor, flowering nearly the whole 
year,” R. Wight; Nilgherries, T. T. (208). _ 
One of the finest of its order, the flowers being larger than iù 
either 4. crispum or faleatum, and in larger more branching pa- 
nicles. For this reason the localities given by Wight are stated 
exactly, in the hope that some collector may send it home. In 
front of the opening into the spur stands a pair of large curved 
tubercles, which have not been observed in A. crispum. 
242. A. difforme, Wallich, in Lindl. Gen. 5 Sp. 242. 
Khasija, at 3000-4000 feet, J. D. Н. & T. T. (204), Griffith. 
This, which is the plant that Wallich had before him, seems to 
differ from the following in having smaller flowers, with the 
middle lobe of the lip only 2-lobed, the basal ones longer and a 
little undulated, and the leaves more tapering to the base. This 
I learn in part from careful dissection, and in part from one of
