Eulophia.] CXLVIII. ORCHIDES®. (J. D. Hooker.) 
raceme short many-fld., bracts shorter than the ovary, sepals linear-oblong, 
petals shorter elliptic obtuse, side lobes of lip short, midlobe large orbicular 
crisped, nerves of disk as in E. bicarinata. Cyrtopera candida, Lindl. in

SIKKIM HIMALAYA, alt. 3-4000 ft., J. D. H. Assam, Mann. 
Flowering before leafing. Leaves 8-18 by 3-34 in., elliptic-lanceolate, caudate, 
S-nerved ; petiole 6-8 in., slender. Scape 18-24 in. ; sheaths rather loose ; raceme 
3-4 in.; bracts 3-3 in., more turgid than in E. bicarinata ; flowers 1j in. diam., 
white or greenish ; spur conical. Capsule 1 in., narrowly ellipsoid.— Perhaps a 
var. of E. bicarinata. Lindley’s description is taken from a specimen gathered by 
myself, and a drawing of E. nuda (Ic. Cathcart), from which the root, the colour, 
and the anther are taken.

lanceolate finely acuminate, petals as long much broader elliptic many- 
nerved, lip large saccate, side lobes large rounded, midlobe orbicular, disk 
with 2 small pyriform basal calli and 3 crenate lamellae. Cyrtopera flava,
