A figure of “ Malaais plicata" by Roxburgh in the library at 
Kew seems intended for this plant. 
The type specimen of Microstylis Bernaysii was very kindly sent 
me by Baron v. Mueller, and proves to be this common species. 
Var. Fusca.—Dienia fusca, Lindl. Orch. Pl. p. 22.—M. fusca, 
Reichb. f. in Walp. Ann. vi. p. 207.—M. trilobulata, Kurz, Rep. 
on Vegetation of Andaman Isles, Append. B. xix. (nomen nudum);

There seems to be no real difference between this and the 
yellow-flowered plant, except the colour. There is an original 
coloured drawing of it by Macrae in the Library of the Horti- 
cultural Society. 
Var. GRACILIOR.— Folia paullo angustiora, caulis longiora ; 
scapus pedalis gracillimus, circiter dimidio nudo; racemus 
multiflorus tenuior; flores flavescentes, pedicellis brevissimis ; 
bractew lineares setaceæ angustissimte. 
Java: Tjikoya, Zollinger, no. 116! 
The long slender raceme gives this plant a very different 
appearance to that of the typical form.
