bifidum, apicibus acuminatis. 
Borneo (loc. incert. Native collector. Cultivated in the 
Botanic Gardens, Singapore, April 1890), 
This belongs to the genus Dendrocolla I think, but the raceme 
is not nude at the base but floriferous for its whole length. The 
spur-like portion of the lip is rather long, and projects forwards.

Pontianak (native collector. V.v. April 1890). 
I have no doubt that the figure of De Vriese's above referred 
to is intended for this curious and pretty plant. He gives no 
description nor figures of details, I cannot find that any 
description has ever been published of the species; but Reichen- 
bach unaccountably (in Walpers's Annales, vi. p. 498) refers this 
figure to Blume's Dendrocolla compressa, which he renames 
Sarcochilus compressus without giving any diagnosis. Blume's 
description is too meagre to give any idea of what he intended, 
but it is perfectly clear that this was not the plant he had in his 
mind, for he describes the leaves as linear-lanceolate and the 
peduncle as compressed, showing that it was evidently one of the 
Thrixsperma. 
S. Vriesii is a pretty but not showy plant, remarkable for the 
form of the lip, the lateral lobes of which are small and erect ; 
between them isa callus-like body which represents the mid-lobe.
