APOSTASIACEH OF THE MALAY PENINSULA. 233 
The Eudendrobia are but scantily represented here. The 
large section of Speciose, plentiful in Burma, hardly descend 
as far south as our region. The Antennate (D. strebloceras, 
Reichb. f., D. antennatum, Lindl., &c.), characterised by their 
erect elongate twisted petals, are strictly Papuan, and 
apparently do not occur even so far west as Borneo. The 
absence of the Formose section is more remarkable, as it is 
well represented in Borneo as well as in Burmah. The constant 
rain without any dry period in this region is doubtless the 
cause of the absence of many species such as the Speciose, 
which require a period of rest in order to produce flowers ; 
many species of which hardly exist even under careful culti- 
vation in our climate.

This plant creeps far among moss on rocks and stumps of 
trees. The flowers are white, with yellow and brown marks on 
the lip.

This very curious species was first found by Cuming, in 
Singapore, and sent home alive. It is very local here, but 
when it occurs is found in large clumps. It grows with 
Platyclinis longifolia, Hemsl., on stumps in dry, sandy woods 
near mangrove swamps. There is only one leaf on each pseudo- 
bulb, but above this is a dry, brown sheath, which wraps the 
base of the ovary and the short pedicel of the flower. The 
flowers are solitary, and are produced two or three times a
