52 PROFESSOR LINDLEY’S CONTRIBUTIONS TO 
species are only the following, easily known by their dense spikes 
of small woolly flowers, the lateral sepals of which have scarcely 
any obliquity. | 
279. E. stricta, Lindl. Coll. Bot. t. 41 В. (E. secundiflora, W. Griff. 
Not. iii. 302. t. 301.— Myearanthes stricta, Lo. 63 ; Wight, Ic. 1733.) 
On the Naga hills, on a species of Gordonia at the elevation of 3500 
feet, W. Griffith; Darjeeling, Id. ; Malacca, Id. fide cl. Wight ; Sik- 
kim, at 3000 feet, and Khasija, at 4000 feet, J. D. H. (59). 
980. E. retusa, Rchb. f. in Bonplandia, March 1, 1857. (Phreatia 
retusa, Lindl. Orch. p. 64.—Dendrolirium retusum, Blume, Bijdr. 351. 
—Bryobium pubescens, Lindl. in Bot. Reg. 1838, misc. no. 145.) 
Java, Zollinger. 
The extrication of this synonymy is due to Prof. Rchb. fil. 
281. E. MERGUENSIS ; caulibus czspitosis carnosis clavatis, foliis pa- 
pyraceis oblongis basi angustatis apice obliquis uncipulatis, spicis 
lateralibus elongatis griseo-tomentosis pedunculo evaginulato, floribus 
(minimis) pilosis, labello trilobo infra isthmum transverse lamellato. 
Mergui, Griffith (1034) ; Moulmein, Lobb. 
Something like a small specimen of Æ. stricta; but the stems 
are fleshy and clavate, the flowers much smaller and not secund, 
and the lip quite different. 
$ VI. TnrcHoswaA, Lindl. in Bot. Reg. 1842, t. 21. 
Now that the limits of the genus Fria begin to be understood, | 
I must admit that Prof. Reichenbach is right in reducing to its 
ranks my genus Trichosma, notwithstanding its very peculiar 
habit. It will now, therefore, stand as a section, distinguished by 
its great fleshy anther and long slender 2-leaved stems, resembling 
those of a gigantic Pleurothallis. 
282. Е. suavis. (Trichosma suavis, Lindl. 1. c.—Eria cylindripoda, 
Griff. Notul. їй. 999.) 
Khasija, Griffith (1013, 1258); J. D. Н. & T. T. (144); Sikkim at 5000- 
6000 feet, J. D. H. (144). 
$ VII. HYMENERIA. 
This name is proposed for all those species which, to a fleshy 
somewhat shapeless stem with a few thin leaves, add a many- 
flowered inflorescence that is smooth or nearly so. Possibly it 
might be subdivided into those with a dense inflorescence like 
E. convallarioides and pumila, and such as have the thin racemes 
of E. bractescens.
