side lobes broad rounded obtuse, midlobe small fleshy obtuse with a conic 
callus at its base, sac or spur short recurved obtuse. 
PERAK; on the Larut range, alt. 3000 ft., Scortechin?. 
Stem 1 in. diam., flexuous. Leaves 21-8 by 1}-1} in., coriaceous. Pedunele 
with raceme 1 in., basal sheaths imbricate; bracts } in., subacute; sepals $ in. long,

34. S. notabilis, Hook. f. Ic. Plant. ined.; sepals and petals filiform 
from a narrowly lanceolate 3-nerved base, lip sessile at the base of the 
column deeply saccate, mouth dilated, tip contracted into a capillary tail. 
SINGAPORE, Ridley. 
Stem very short. Leaves 11-2 in., subsessile, elliptic oblong, strongly striate 
when dry. Peduncles 3 or more from one point on the stem, 44 in. long, curved, 
naked; raceme 23 in., rachis } in. diam. across the ovate incurved coriaceous subacute 
bracts; pedicel and ovary very slender, } in. long; perianth very membranous, 
white? sepals and petals $ in. long, 3-nerved at the base; lip a large sac rounded at 
the base, delicately veined ; column very short, foot 0; anther low, membranous, 
2-celled ; pollinia 2, clavate, sessile on a rather large gland.—A very singular and 
beautiful little plant, which I hesitate to remove from Sarcochilus as a genus, an 
dedicate to its discoverer. It closely resembles in flower S. Arachnites, but the 
stemless habit, foliage, inflorescence and footless column are very different.
