bend. The spur is considerably longer than the deflexed 
sepals, curved, broad, and laterally flattened. The anther is 
very much longer than in A. Reinwardtii, and consequently the 
pedicel of the pollen masses is also elongate. The Anectochili 
frequent the densest jungles, where they grow among dead 
leaves, among which their brown foliage is not at all con- 
spicuous. The natives call them in Malacca “ Bunga Tulis,” 
lit., Written flowers—the reticulations on the leaf being 
supposed to resemble writing. 
CRYPTOSTYLIS, R. Br. 
C. Aracunites, Blume, Orch. Archip. Ind., 133, t. 45, f. 2. 
There are two very distinct looking forms of this plant which 
will probably eventually be shown to be specifically distinct. 
One has a very broad, pale lip with darker spots, evidently 
typical C. Arachnites. I have collected it on Maxwell’s Hill, 
in Perak. 
The other, which is commoner, has a narrower dark brown 
lip, and is perhaps C. filiformis, Blume, though it differs from 
the figure and description in having mottled leaves, and some- 
times a very tall, slender raceme considerably over a foot in 
length. I have this from Merlimau, in Malacca; Government 
Hill, Penang; Bukit Hitam, in Selangor (coll. H. Kelsall) ; 
Kedah Peak; and Bukit Timah, in Singapore. 
Cryptostylis inhabits banks, usually at considerable elevations 
(from 2-5,000 feet), the Malacca and Singapore localities 
being the only low-country spots whence I have seen it. It is 
called “‘ Bunga Bangkong ” in Malacca.

Scortechini’s drawing seems more to resemble U. mucronata, 
Blume. The Kedah Peak plant, too, does not altogether 
resemble Blume’s figure, in which the leaves, which are much 
larger, are veined with purple instead of white, and the flower 
is violet with dark sepals and petals, while the Kedah plant
