majoribus acuminatis, labello cucullato dilatato subtrun- 
cato pubescente ciliato.— — E. Indies. Flowers deli- 
cate pink, with a pale yellow lip, not sweet-scented. 
8. D. cucullatum (R. Brown in Bot. Reg. t. 548. ibid. t. 1756, 
fig. 2); facie omnino D. Pierardi sed labello subrotundo- 
ovato basi in unguem brevem convoluto E. Indies. 
— Extremely like D. Pierardi, but it has larger 
flowers, with a broad roundish ovate lip, the base of 
which is rolled up into a sort of short stalk ; while in 
D. Pierardi the lip is rounded and very blunt, with its 
base rolled into a much longer stalk which quite conceals 
the column. It is moreover remarkably incurved. 
9. D. transparens (Wallich. Cat. no. 2008); caulibus pen- 
dulis teretibus, foliis ovato-lanceolatis acuminatis apice 
obliquis, floribus geminatis, sepalis acuminatis, petalis 
obtusis sepalo supremo majoribus, labello oblongo undu- 
lato ciliolato obtuso intüs levissimé pubescente.—— 
Nepal.——Flowers pale rose-colour, with a lip of the 
same tint. Very like D. Pierardi, from which it is 
distinguished by its leaves being longer and emarginate 
at the apex, by the petals being obtuse and the labellum 
much less hairy, and pink not yellow. The stems are 
also far shorter. 
10. D. amenum (Wall. L. no. 21. -Limodorum aphyllum, 
41. 
Roxb. eorom. 1. t. 41. Cymbidium aphyllum, Willd. sp. 
f 4); caulibus pendulis gracilibus nebulosis floriferis 
aphyllis, foliis lanceolatis acutis, floribus geminatis race- 
mum spurium formantibus longé pedunculatis divaricatis, 
sepalis oblongis obtusis, petalis obtüsis sepalo supremo 
pauló majoribus, labelli cucullati limbo ovato obtuso 
crenulato leviter eiliato: disco villoso.— — Nepal.—— 
This lovely species is abundantly distinguished by its 
slender stems, leafless, and clouded with dusky brown 
when in blossom ; and also by its delicate white flowers, 
the tips of whose segments are remarkably blunt and 
 tinged with delicate violet. Dr. Wallich remarks in his 
MSS. that its fragrance is exquisite, not unlike that of 
Olea fragrans. :
