Liparis.] CXLVIII. ORCHIDEZ. (J. D. Hooker.) 707 
DOUBTFUL AND EXCLUDED SPECIES. 
L. ALATA, A. Rich. in Ann. Sc. Nat. Ser. 2, xv. 17; pseudobulbs ovoid, sheaths 
lax membranous acute, leaves usually 2 subpetioled sheathing membranous ovate 
acute entire, base rounded, spike elongate few-fld., rachis compressed winged, lip sub- 
cordate convex quite entire, base erect embracing the column.—Nilgbiri Hills, moist 
woods at the Waterfall, Perrottet.—This may be either a Liparis or Microstylis. 
„L. BIDENTATA, Griff. Notul. iii. 277; Ic. Pl. Asiat. t. 286, f. 2, from the Naga 
Hills, is not a Liparis. 
L. CvuiNair, Ridley in Journ. Linn. Soc. xxii. 292, founded on Cumiug's 
No. 2141, is erroneously described as a Malaccan plant. Cuming collected it in the 
Island of Bopol, one of the Philippians. It is hardly different from L. compressa. 
L. pecursiva, Reichb. f. in Gard. Chron. 1884, ii. 38; pseudobulb tumid 
tubpyriform very obtusely angled on both sides, leaves 2 cuneate-oblong chartaceous, 
Scape narrowly winged, bracts lanceolate acuminate keeled the lower exceeding the 
Pedicelled ovaries, sepals triangular-ligulate, lip with a short channelled claw, blade 
large abruptly transversely hastate emarginate with a tooth in front serrulate, claw 
with a notched tubercle, column incurved dilated towards the base angled on both 
sides next the pit.—E. Indies (Hort. Glasnevin).—Description from Reichen- 
bach f. l. e. 
L. GROSSA, Reichb. f. in Gard. Chron. 1883, i. 110; pseudobulbs short stout 
Pyriform 2-leaved, leaves broadly ligulate obtuse, tip unequal, raceme many-fid., 
rachis depressed, base with an acute compressed foliaceous sheath, and many scarious 
sheaths above, flowers yellow-brown, bracts linear-cuspidate hardly equalling the 
Pedicelled ovary, sepals ligulate acute, lip ligulate, base minutely obtusely auricled 
abruptly constricted in the middle, apex divergently 2-lobed, side lobes quadrate 
denticulate on the outer margin, basal calli obscure. Ridley in Journ. Linn. Soc. 
xx. 288.— Burma, H. Low.—Allied to L. pachypus, but much larger, with a very 
different lip. Description from Reichb. f.l. e. 1 have seen no specimens, . 
I L. uvina, Royle Ill. $64, name only, from Nepal.— In the Kew collection of 
ndian drawings there is one named by Lindley “ L. livida," but which is so incor- 
rectly drawn (the petals being represented as lateral sepals) that no confidence can 
il placed init. It may be a form of L. bituberculata. In Lindley’s Herbarium 
ere 1s a copy of this drawing, and on the same slieets is fastened a specimen of what 
Niel L. Walkerie, ticketed ** Khasia, Lobb,” but which is probably from the 
ighiri Hills, where Lobb also collected. ] 
L. OBCORDATA, Vahl. ex King Cat. of N.W. Indian plants in Atkinson's Notes 
on the Economic Products of N.W. India, Part V. 318.—This is undescribed. 
L. opontosroma, Reichb. f. in Linnea xli. 97; Ridley l. c. 263; 2 ft. high, 
Peeudobulb subterete ?, leaves about 4 membranous cuneate-oblong acute, raceme 
da-f, dorsal sepal lanceolate 3-nerved, lateral oblong-ligulate 4-nerved curved, 
ema, of lip with the base obtusely angled, blade as long as the claw subquadrate 
skit and apiculate, calli 2 conical, column angled at the base and apex.— 
1D, alt. 3-5000 ft., J. D. H.—I suspect this to be a form of L. bituberculata. 
e bracts are not described, and the 4-nerved lateral sépals are anomalous. 
i e STACRYURUS, Reichb. f. in Flora 1872, 274; Ridley l. c. 295; pseudobulbs 
iate (2-edged ?) 2-leavcd, leaves cuneately oblong-ligulate acuminate, scape dense-
