This very common plant ia evidently extremely variable, and I 

 think ^ the names above quoted certainly belong to it ; Z, emar^ 

 ginata is a very small state. Z. robusta and hrevifolia I cannot 

 at all distinguish,

61. Z. membranacea, L <?. (486). (Z. bracteata, Wlght^ Ic. 1724 bis.) 

 Assam, Bootan, Sunderbunds, Griffith, 



A much taller plant than the last, with long grassy leaves and 

 a membranous lip. 



62. Z. Triplenra. (Tripleura pallida, lAndL I. e, p. 452.) 

 Hot valleys, Sikkim, J. B. R. (352). 



Yery like the last, but distinguished by its lateral petals being 

 linear and spreading at right angles to the lip, which is oblong, 

 concave, and abruptly terminated in an emarginate point. The 

 proposal of the genus Tripleura was a great oversight.

No doubt can exist of the above figure in Wight's Icones be- 

 longing to this, and not to M. aMnis, a smaller two-flowered plant
