The description of Ephippium ciliatum, Blume, is very 
meagre, nor does this plant seem to have been met with since 
nor described afresh. I have little doubt, however, that the 
plant above described was the species intended by Blume, the 
dorsal sepal being shorter than the lateral sepals. I have 
retained. the species under the genus Cirrhopetalum, but it 
differs considerably from any other species known to me. The 
sepals are narrow, and end in long terete points. The petals 
are so placed that the upper margins at the base meet over and 
nearly conceal the anther: but the points diverge widely and 
the lower margins are turned outwards. The lip is thick at 
the base, and has a channel in the middle line. It terminates 
in a long subulate point. The column is rather tall, and the 
stelidia are erect. The pollinia are elliptic and longer in shape 
than is usual in the genus. 
The Singapore form was darker in colour than that from 
Java, otherwise it appeared quite the same.

This is certainly allied to the preceding species, having the 
solitary flower with large deflexed lateral sepals.
