acute bordered with white, lip yellowish streaked with red—all as described by 
Rheede.—3. Swartzs C. pendulum, which he says is too near C. aloifolium ; 
flowers small or large, sepals and petals pale dirty yellow or greenish with a more or 
less broad dirty purple centre, lip streaked with red. To this belongs Wallich's 
C. crassifolium with pale flowers.— Lindley distinguishes C. pendulum from alvifolium 
chiefly by the lamellz of the lip of the former being interrupted clavate and arched 
behind, and of the latter continuous, approximate, confluent at their tips. Thwaites 
gives aloifolium as a native of Ceylon (Jaffna, Gardner), but as he cites Wight's Ic., 
no doubt bicolor is intended. Lindley's aloifoliwum of Journ. Linn, Soc. iii. 27 
includes this, bicolor and sikkimense. Reichenbach's description of C. Mannii is 
that of aloifolium, of which there are specimens in Mann’s Herb. (kindly lent to 
mo); as to his habitat of **Obres," Mr. Mann informs me he knows of no such 
place.

, For remarks on this see under C. aloifolium, from which Lindley distinguishes it 
chiefly by the saccate base of the lip and sigmoidly curved clavate lamellae, which 
are interrupted in the middle and callous at the base, and the smaller differently 
coloured flowers, none of which characters appear to me to be satisfactory. He cites 
the Javanese C. aloifolium, Blume Bijdr. t. 19,.for it. Wight’s figure of C. erectum 
from the Iyamallay Hills, which has an erect raceme, and flowers nearly 2 in. diam., 
1$, I have little doubt, an exaggeration; the sepals described as obtuse are figured 
as acute. The only Iyamallay Cymbidium in his herbarium is much smaller flowered , 
and true bicolor.
