PERAK, Scortechini. —DIsTRIB. Java. 
Stem as thick as a sparrow's quill, basal tuber j-1 in., globose or fusiform, 
branches also thickened at the base. Leaves 1-1} in., strict, striate. Flowers i in., 
white ?, midlobe of lip very variable.—The Javan specimens seem to have narrower 
petals and more acute lateral sepals than the Perak ones.

branched, base fusiform, leaves oblong obtuse or notched, flowers many on 
the leafless ends of the branches large white, dorsal sepal ovate-lanceolate 
7-nerved, petals linear-oblong 5-nerved, mentum equalling the lanceolate 
acuminate lateral sepals conical acute incurved, side lobes of lip narrow, 
midlobe much larger suborbicular crisped, disk with crenate ridges. Lindi.

Stem 2-3 ft., stout. Leaves 2-3 in., coriaceous, Flowers 1-1} in. long; 
sheathed peduncle J—1 in.; pedicel 4 in. ; lip with a primrose disk and sometimes pink 
veins.— In a drawing in Hort. Calcutt. of a plant very like this from Penang, named 
D. flexuosum, WalL, the sepals and petals are obtuse, and the midlobe of the lip 
quite entire, rounded at the tip; the mentum is shorter and straight. The Ceylon 
locality attributed to D. erumenatum is no doubt an error.

Pparently very variable, The figure in Refug. Bot. has fusiform stems with inter-

6-7 in, narrowed at both ends, internodes {-1} in., dirty-yellow flowers, and a 
hen Wer mentum ; the midlobe of lip is very short. Lindley’s specimen of D. brevi- 
forum, erroneously supposed to be from Singapore, is a mere frustule of a stem. i A 
note of Dr. Thomson’s attached to a drawing of this species (in Hort. Calc.) states that 
it was Introduced from Parusnath into the Calcutta Garden ; it has pale rose-cold.
