Roots densely tufted, tortuous; stem 0. Raceme 3-6 in.; bracts ovate, acute, 
membranous ; flowers subsessile, } in. diam.; sepals spreading, oblong, obtuse; side 
lobes of lip linear-oblong, obtuse ; disk between the lobes pubescent ; midlobe truncate, 
emarginate; column very short; rostellum indistinct ; anther broadly ovate, with 2-3 
slender sete 3 pollinia 2, 2-lobed, strap very short broad, gland large. Capsule

Except in the colour of the flowers I can find no difference between this and 
S. usneoides, the authority for the colours of which latter is a drawing made by 
Wallich’s artists during his visit to Nepal, and another in Sikkim. Parish observes 
Gt very small leaves are sometimes produced, and these have been seen in Kew 
ardens,

Wynaad, Wight, &c. CEYLON, on trees in the Botanical Gardens ; Trimen. 
, A very imperfectly known species; Wight's figure represents the side lobes of the 
ID as somewhat crenate, and the sepals and petals as glabrous without and hairy 
within, the flowers as much smaller than in C. usneoides, the capsules as much 
shorter and stouter.—The left-hand figure (No. 7) on Wight’s plate represents a very 
different plant, which I do not recognize. There is in Herb. Kew a specimen, 
apparently of S. Wightii, from Ceylon (Herb. Hort. Peradeniya), sent by Dr. Trimen 
(C.P. 4017), who has since informed me of its locality. 
15. S. minimifolius, Hook. f.; raceme few-fld., capsule 5 in. long 
Cymbidium minimifolium, Thwaites mss. 
CEYLON; Cehtral Province, at Hattegodde Hill, Thwaites. . 
Roots much more slender than in S. usneoides. Leaves 2, very minute, Raceme 
in.; flowers 4 in. diam.; side lobes of lip rounded, nearly as large as the 
latera] sepals, Capsule much curved, pubescent. — The specimens are insufficient for 
further description.

elongate clavate laterally compressed obtuse spur with an inflated tip, 
side lobes small erect, midlobe minute incurved.
