whence the name. I had however described it three years before 

 as a probable species of OtocTiilvs^ the poUen-masses of which had 

 not been found. And such it really is, as Griffith determined, 

 without however knowing that it was a described plant. The 

 stigmatic gland described by Wallich, but not represented in his 

 drawing, has no existence, as Griffith's figure and description 

 show, and as I have verified. The species is, however, remarkable 

 for having two straps holding together the poUen-masses in pairs, 

 each strap having a perfectly well-defined outline ; of these only 

 rudiments occur in the two other species. They are analogous to 

 the narrower and more obscure threads which occur in Pholidota 

 articulata, as I learn from Dr. Hooker*s drawings.

When Prof. Eeichenbach saw this in my herbarium he gave it 

 the above name, distinguishing it by its " having the lateral lobes 

 of the lip half ovate not acute, and by its shorter column." The 

 latter difference seems constant, the former cannot be relied on. 

 I, however, find that the lip of the Indian species is acuminate, 



and darker coloured. The two plants are,

The bracts are short and broad, and the parts of the flower 

 elongated than in E. americana, which is very like this.
