rather short, gland moderate.—Species 3 or 4? Malayan. 
In the absence of good materials, I am doubtful as to the correctness of the above 
definition of Trichoglottis. Bentham refers Blume's T. retusa to Saccolabium ; and 
by replacing that author's character of “ lip adnate to the whole length of the 
column, with a process on each side," by “lip adnate to the foot of the column and 
forming with it a long borizontal spur-like mentum " and omitting that of a hairy 
lip, he excludes the others. I am disposed to regard the hairy-lipped species figured 
by Blume in his Bijdragen (T. retusa, 360, fig. viii.) as the type of the genus. That 
this is Kurz's and Reichenbach's view appears from the plants they have referred to 
it. In this case Trichoglottis is referable to the group with no foot to the column. 
There are amongst Scortechini's drawings of Perak Orchids, one or two that are 
referable to this genus, but the analyses are insufficient.
