9-nerved, lip entire ovate subpanduriform subacute, side nerves forming a 
2arched thickened purple ridge towards the base. Wight Ic. 1635 (E.

Niten HILLS; on the West slope, Perrottet, Wight. 
Leaves 3-5 in., acute or acuminate. Racemes as long or shorter, very many-fid. ; 
pedicels shorter than the bracts 3 flowers yellowish. 
29. E. pubescens, Wight Ic. 1634 (E. polystachya on the plate); 
pseudobulbs short as thick as the thumb, racemes from amongst the 
(lanceolate) leaves drooping slightly pubescent, flowers 3-1 in. long, sepals 
lanceolate acute 5—7-nerved, dorsal longest, petals linear-lanceolate 5-nerved, 
ip entire ovate-subcordate acute, side nerves forming arched thickened 
ridges. Walp. Ann. vi. 275. 
Niteurri Hits; on the West slope, Wight. 
Readily distinguished from E. polystachya, by its much larger flowers, nearly 
glabrous racemes, and 5-7-nerved sepals, which are white with pale streaks; lip 
with purple blotches and yellow tip. 
30. E. mysorensis, ZLindl. in Journ. Linn. Soc. iii. 54; pseudobulbs 
short thick, racemes from amongst the (lanceolate) leaves curved glabrous, 
flowers z in., sepals lanceolate acute, nerves 3-5 very strong and reticulate, 
petals lanceolate acute 9-nerved, side nerves branching, lip clawed entire 
70m ovate- to oblong-lanceolate subpanduriform, side nerves usually form- 
Ing arched thickened ridges. 
MALABAR and DuaARWAR; on the Bababoodan Hills, Law. — 
li This will probably prove to be a form of E. polystachya. Lindley describes the 
Ip (which is very variable in size, shape, and nervation) as wholly smooth, but though 
e arched ridges are sometimes slender, they are always present, and often very 
ick and even crenate,

eeply saccate. Thwaites Enum. 299. 
Ceyton; Central Province, alt. 4—7000 ft., Macrae, &c. 
Readily distinguished from mysorensis by the narrow leaves, stout scape and 
raceme, and by the remarkable sac at the base of the lip, which is constant.

Tacts ovate much shorter than the pedicels, flowers 4 in., sepals lanceolate

oblong thickening on each side below the middle. Walp, Ann. vi. 270.
