48 ' PROFESSOR LINDLEY’S CONTRIBUTIONS TO 
Of this singular plant I have a fragment from Gardner, and 
several are preserved in the Hookerian herbarium, but all without 
leaves. The pseudobulbs are oblong shrivelled bodies, jointed 
into a sort of chain or necklace. The flowers are very small and 
with no elongation of the sepals. Neither lip nor pollen-masses 
are known to me.

Phreatia uniflora, Wight, Ic. t. 1734.). 
Khasija, Griffith ; Churra Punjee, Id. (666). 
This, the original Conchidium, has not eight equal pollen-masses, 
аз is represented in the figure of Wight's artist, but they are even 
more unequal in size than is shown in Griffith's plate. ` It is not 
in the Khasija collections formed by Hooker and Thomson. 
` 265. Е. sinica. (Conchidium sinicum, Lindl. in Hooker's Journ.) 
Hong Kong, Champion (278). 
Differs from the last in the sepals and petals not being acu- 
minate, in the lip being serrated; the scape is both 1-flowered 
and 2-flowered. I fear, not distinct from the Khasija species. 
§ II. DENDROLIRIUM, Blume. 
If we collect into one group all the large-flowered woolly spe- 
cies with pseudobulbs only, an assemblage will be formed both 
natural and obvious, to which Blume's happy name of Dendro- 
lirium may be applied. Some terete-leaved plants. can hardly 
indeed be said to form pseudobulbs ; but their leaves fall even- 
tually from the summit of very short stems altogether analogous 
to pseudobulbs, although unlike in form. Two divisions are 
effected by taking into account the form of the leaves. 
A. Leaves flat and broad.

nudo medio involuto basi concavo. 
Batavia, Loddiges, in hort. 
Ilearn from Prof. Reichenbach that thi$ is among Zollinger's 
unpublished Java plants. It resembles what I suppose to be the 
Dendrolirium sulcatum of Blume, but is very much more densely 
tomentose. À ase
