MR. R. A. ROLFE ON THE APOSTASIE E. 233 
now described by me as N. Lindleyi, a quite distinct plant from 
N. Zollingeri, Reichb. f., as remarks under that species will show. 
The Penang plant seems identical in every respect with the 
Bornean one; and being in much more perfect condition, I have 
made use of it in drawing up the description wherever the other 
was insufficient. 
3. N. carnawTHOIDES, Ridley! in Brit. Journ. of Bot. 1886, 
355, t. 271.—Folia anguste lineari-lanceolata, acuminata, petio- 
lata. Scapus pubescens, vaginis dissitis tectus, validulus, bipe- 
dalis. Racemus multiflorus, comosus. Bractew virides, pubes- 
centes. Flores majores, carnosuli, ochraceo-flayi. Ovarium 
pubescens, breviter rostratum. Sepala angusta, lanceolato-linearia, 
pubescentia. Petala latiora, lanceolata, extus carina depressa 
pubescente, cum sepalis cuspidata. Labellum angustum, lanceo- 
latum, medio incrassato subtus pubescente, marginibus tenuibus 
glabris. Antheræ angustæ, lineares, brunneæ. Filamenta com- 
planata, ultra dimidio libera. Stylus cylindricus, filiformis, versus 
apicem attenuatus, antheris brevior. Stigma parvum, rotun- 
datum. 
Hab. New Guinea; Mt. Meroka, at 2000 feet elevation, unde? 
shade ; flowers yellow; H. O. Forbes, n. 777! 
A little smaller than the preceding. Leaves 2 ft.long by 
li in. broad. Racemes 8 in. or more long. Bracts, the lower 
ones 1l in. long, decreasing upwards. Sepals 3 in. long, petals 
and lip a little broader than sepals. Ovary j in. long. 
I have seen the type specimen in the British Museum ; but 
the description is, for the most part, drawn up from that of 
Mr. Ridley. The flowers are a little smaller than in N. Lindleyi, 
also more pubescent, and the leaves a little narrower. 
4. N. CunmIsII, n. sp.—Folia lanceolata, acuminata, petiolata. 
- Seapus brevis. Racemus brevis, multiflorus, pubescens. Bractex 
anguste lanceolate, pubescentes. Ovarium pubescens, trique- 
trum, ovoideum. Sepala lineari-lanceolata, pubescens, cum 
petalis et labellum cuspidatis. Petala paullo latiora, extus 
carinata. Labellum petalis subsimile, callo medio lineare paullo 
incrassato.
