Sikkim, at 4000 feet, J. D. Н. (192). 
According to Cathcart’s drawings, the caudicula is short and 
broad, with a large semicircular gland, not subulate with à minüte 
gland, as represented by both Wallich's and Wight’s artists. The 
plant seems to be constantly leafless.

SATYRIUM; Swartz: 
The first knowledge we had of the existenee in тайа of this 
African genus was derived from the collections of Buchanan Há- 
milton, from which, in the year 1824, David Don published his Saty- 
rium nepalense. In 1838 I became aware of the existence of two 
others, and described them under the names of S. Wightianum and 
ciliatum. Three years later Achille Richard described three 
others from the Nilgherry collections of Perrottet,—Perrotte- 
tianum, albiflorum, and pallidum. Authentic specimens of all 
these are before me, together with a considerable number from 
various parts of India, among which is a fine series from Drs. 
Hooker and Thomson. These materials show, not only that the 
genus Satyrium abounds in individuals, but that it is subject to 
very great differences of stature, foliage, and inflorescence. I . 
think, however, the three species admitted in 1888 are to be 
distinctly recognized; but the Nilgherry ‘plants of Achille 
Richard are not distinguishable from S. nepalense, not éven his 
S. pallidum, said 4o have nt flowets, Which is probably a 
mistake.
