264 MR. HENRY RIDLEY ON ORCHIDEH AND ™ 
Mr. Boxall, who introduced this species, tells me he obtained 
it at Kedah Peak, and that this is the plant described by 
Reichenbach under the name of D. Hughii. The description is 
not a good one, and the locality is incorrect. 
The section (§ Speciose) hardly occurs in the Malay Penin- 
sula, though it is well represented in Siam.

p- 604. 
Hab. Siam: near Toukah, local, C. Curtis ! 
The figure of this remarkable plant in Warner and Williams's 
Orchid Album, iv. t. 174, does not quite resemble the plants 
cultivated here in colour. The Siamese specimens had yellow 
flowers tinted only with green, not the bright apple-green of 
the figure, and the markings are cinnabar-red.

Hab. Siam: Chantaboon, Dr. Keith! Pungah, Curtis. 
Perak: Scortechini. 
There is a figure of this in Scortechini’s drawings, but no 
locality is given, and I have no other evidence of its being wild 
in Perak.

Hab. Singapore: Chan Chu Kang! (1890). 
Of this species, not hitherto known south of Tenasserim, l 
obtained a single large plant on a big fallen Dipterocarpous 
tree in dense forests at Chan Chu Kang. Onthe same tree was 
another orchid not known from the Malay Peninsula hitherto, 
viz., Saccolabium gigantewm, Lindl., in fine flower. Both were 
indisputably wild, but I have never seen or heard of plants of 
either species occurring in the peninsula since.
