Cannot distinguish dried specimens of this from E. bractescens. There is an 
excellent drawing of it by Grifüth in Herb. Lindley and by Parish at Kew.— 
Identified by Lindley with bractescens. Griffith’s specimens have ovoid rugose 
almost grooved pseudobulbs, 2-3 in. long, and leaves narrowed into a petiole, but in 
his drawing the pseudobulbs are small and leaves sessile.— The endeavour to dis- 
inguish the species of this section, of which the specimens are often insufficient, has 
n very laborious, and the result is far from satisfactory. 
46. E. recurvata, Hook. f. Ic. Plant. ined.; pseudobulbs 6-8 in. 
Stout terete, leaves long-petioled elliptic-lanceolate acuminate, racemes 
peral many-fid, pubescent, bracts ovate-lanceolate acuminate as long as 
the Ovaries, sepals falcately lanceolate acuminate 5-nerved and lanceolate 
“cuminate petals recurved from the middle, mentum long 2-lobulate in- 
curved, side lobes of lip narrow rounded, midlobe obcordate apiculate, disk 
" a flattened broad ridge between the side lobes.

Petiole 1-2 in, Racemes 6 in., drooping; bracts yellow, flat or concave, lower

Perhaps better referred to the section with dense flowers (after scabrilinguis).
