Received, according to Dr. Roxburgh, into the Botanic 
Garden, Caleutta, from Mr. Pierard, who found it growing 
on the trunk of Lagerstremia Regine, on the northern border 
of Arracan, and observed it in the woods exclusively on that 
tree ; it was, however, found to thrive on the Mango tree in 
the Botanic Garden. It is also a native of the banks of the 
happadong river in the Gulf of Martaban, whence 1t was 
brought some years since by Dr. Wallich. It belongs to a 
curious section of the genus, all the species of which have 
their stems shortened into the pseudobulhous form of Bolbo- 
phyllum, and thus form a natural transition to that genus.
