50 PROFESSOR LINDLEY'S CONTRIBUTIONS TO 
B. Leaves terete or very narrow. 
271. E. pannea, Lindl. Bot. Reg. 1842, misc. 79. (Е. teretifolia, Griff. 
Not. iii. 298, t. 300. fig. 2; Itinerary, 202, no. 1185.) 
Bootan, at 3600 feet, on Gordonia, Griffith; Khasija, at 2000 feet, and 
Sikkim, on rocks in hot valleys, J. D. H. (62); T. Lobb. 
A long creeping slender rhizome bears, at intervals of 2 to 4 
inches, very short woolly stems, each furnished with from one to 
four terete fleshy leaves, varying in length from 1 to 6 inches and 
more, the longest belonging to the Khasija plant.  Griffith's 
figure is thus far bad, that I do not find in his own specimens the 
lip anything like so wavy as he represents it. I have a very 
similar plant collected in Borneo? by T. Lobb, with very short 
one-leaved pseudobulbs that touch each other, and leaves more 
linear ; but my solitary flower does not bear examination. 
272. E. stcaria; pseudobulbis oblongis 1-2-phyllis, foliis linearibus 
carnosis acutissimis semiteretibus, racemis lanatis lateralibus multi- 
floris folio multo brevioribus, bracteis ovatis patentibus intus glabris, 
floribus albo lanatis, labello ......... apice convexo apiculato.- 
Mergui ; Tharapown, in woods, Griffith. 
** Folia carnosa, linearia. Sepala extus albovelutina, intus cum petalis 
viridescentia, lateralia maxima purpureo lineata et notata. Labellum 
albofuscum, intus brunneum disco calloso." Griffith, MSS. 
Very like a narrow-leaved Eria flava. Leaves about 6 inches 
long, resembling slender stilettos, but tapering at the base into a 
furrowed petiole. My flowers give no more information.

Although this supposed genus is undoubtedly an Eria, it may 
form a section sufficiently distinguished by its large smooth flowers 
and distinctly-formed pseudo-bulbs. It only differs from Den- 
droliria in the flowers not being woolly. 
273. E. rosea, Lindl. in Bot. Reg. t. 978. 
Hong Kong, Champion (275). 
This certainly differs from the next, with which I formerly 
confounded it, in its broad blunt lip with the lower half much 
wider than the upper. 
274. E. carinata, Gibson, in Cale. Journ. Nat. Hist. v. 365. (Xiphosium 
acuminatum, Griffith, l. c. c. ic. ; Itin. Not. 78, no. 1153 ; Notul. iii. 
332, t. 316.—E. rosea, Wall. Cat. 7409.) 
Khasija, Grifith; Sylhet, Wallich. 
Differs from the last in having the sepals, petals, and. lip acu- 
minate, the middle lobe of the latter being aa wide as the hypochil,
