APOSTASIACEH OF THE MALAY PENINSULA. 313 
This charming little plant was first collected at Bhamo by 
Parish, and appears to be very rare. Mr. Curtis brought living 
plants down from Lankawi, where he found it growing on the 
rocks. The flowers are rosy purple when they first open, 
gradually changing to a pale rose. 
PHAILUS, Lour. 
P. Watuicuu, Lindl. in Wall. Pl. As. Rar., ii. 46 t. 158. 
Hab. Malacca: Dense woods at Bukit Sadanen! 
I am also told it is to be found near Kwala Lumpur, in 
Selangor. 
Commonly the self-fertilized form. 
Our form resembles P. Blumei, Lindl., Gen. et Sp. Orch., 
p. 127; Blume, Orch. Archip. Ind, 2, t. 1, in its slightly more 
acute and redder sepals and petals, but it is impossible to 
separate these specifically. What Loureiro’s P. grandifolius 
can be I cannot think, but if his description is correct it must 
be a very striking and distinct plant. P. Wallichii, Lindl., is, 
however, often cultivated by the Chinese. 
P. caLLosus, Lindl., Gen. et Sp. Orch., p. 128, et in Gard. 
Chron. (1848) p. 287. 
Hab. Perak: abundant on rocks in dense jungle, Larut 
Hills: fl. June! 
A very fine plant, quite as showy as P. Wallichii, Lindl., 
which at first sight it resembles. I do not find the scape from 
the top of the pseudo-bulb as described in ‘ Fl. Brit. Ind.,’ but it 
is placed exactly as in P. Wallichii, Lindl. The calli from 
which it takes its name are two very low processes at the base 
of the mid-lobe. The lip is bilobed at the apex with a short 
mucro in the notch as in Blume’s figure. The blunt rounded 
sepals and petals distinguish it readily from P. Wallichi, 
Lindl. 
P. (§ Limatoves) patuipus, Ridl., sp. nova. Caules 2-3 ped. 
longi, validi, erecti, quadrangulati, in parte inferiore a vaginis 
longis longe acuminatis tenuibus striatis dissitis vaginati, in 
parte superiore foliigeri. Folia 9 poll. longa, 3 poll. lata, ovata, 
cuspidata, plicata, costata, subtus glaucescentia. Racemi 3-4, 
4 poll. longi, e vaginis perforatis (in parte inferiore caulis sitis)
