PBOrESSOE lotdlet's conxbibuxions xo 



resemble those of Anwctochiltcs setacens. The short lip, with its 

 two broad obovate lobes, are very chaaracteristic. The lateral 

 sepals spread at right angles, and are rosy at the point but green 

 at the bases.

Of this no specimens exist in the herbarium. Mr. Cathcart's 

 artist represents it as a plant 6 or 7 inches high, with roimdish 3- 

 ribbed leaves setting close to the stem, and shorter than the downy

No species of this genus occurs among Dr. Hooker's collections 

 The following are new : 



33. P. hirsutus (Goodyera hirsuta, Griffith^ Ic. t. 347 ; NotuL iii. p. 393). 

 On the Burmese frontier of Assam, Qriffith. 



I have seen no specimens. The leaves are said to be glaucous 

 beneath ; the scape or rather the spike tawny ; the bracts and 

 all the flowers more or less ferruginous, with a white lamina to 

 the lip. 



34. P. viBrDIPLOBTTS (Neottia viridiflora, Blume^ Bijdr. 408) ; caule debili 

 ascendente usque ad spicam folioso, foliis ovalibus acutis insequilateris, 

 »pic4 6-8-flord, sepalis crassissimS carinatis, labello lanceolato apice deflexo, 

 appendicibus calcaris filiformibus capitatis. 



Jaya, Lohh Sf De Vriese. 



Four specimens occur i^j Sir "W. Hooker's herbarium. It is a 

 weak plant, not unlike Physurus dehilis ; the closed flowers and 

 excessively thick keels of the sepals are remarkable. Petals with 

 the inner edge straight, the outer straight near the point, half- 

 oblong next the base.
