Not rare, but very seldom flowering. The flowers are 
greenish-white, sweetly scented of vanilla. It grows in dense, 
shady woods. Plants cultivated in Singapore closely resembled 
Blume’s drawings. Perhaps the 7. graminea of the ‘FI. Brit. 
Ind.,’ vi. p. 93, of which only one specimen was seen, and that 
from a locality where T. squamata is abundant, is a form of this. 
Blume figures no floral details of T. squamata. They much 
resemble those of T. graminea, except that there are no crests 
on the lip. He distinguishes it by its broader leaves, and 
lateral racemes.

I have seen nothing here like this species, and the specimen 
in Herb. Kew looks not unlike T. syuamata, Blume.

A tolerably abundant little plant in some of the damp dense 
jungles. The margins of the leaves are often undulate; but I 
think Scortechini’s drawing n. 5, referred doubtfully to this, 
may be rather V. lancifolia, Ridl. The “glandulx pedicellate ”
