54 CXLVIII. ORCHIDEA, (J. D. Hooker.) [ Vanda. 
ot white, side lobes of lip rounded, midlobe broadly ovate concave obtuse 
pale streaked with purple, spur conical as long asthe midlobe. V. cristata, 
var. Lindl. Fol. Orchid. 10. 
SIKKIM and BHoTAN HIMALAYA, alt. 2000 ft. (Ie. Cathcart & in Herb.. Calcutt.). 
A smaller species than either cristata or alpina, with tbe lip of the latter, but 
furnished with a long conical spur. In the Cathcart drawings the leaves are 
5-6 in. and sepals and petals white; in that of the Calcutta Herb. the leaves are only 
8 in. long, and the sepals and petals are yellow. The latter is ticketed as from 
Mongpo, in Sikkim. 
SPECIES UNKNOWN TO ME. . 
V. BRUNNEA, Reichb. f. Xen. Orchid. ii. 139; leaves long narrowly ligulate 
emarginate, flowers as large as in V. concolor (of Ohina) olive within, sepals and petals 
cuneately oblong obtusely acute, lip and column pale yellowish white, side lobes semi- 
rotund, midlobe ligulate 2-lobed retuse, spur acutely conical.— Moulmein, Parish.— 
There is a drawing at Kew, by Parish, of what may be this species named P. tristis, 
Par. mss., the perianth is brown on both surfaces, the lip and column pale brown. 
(See V. Parishii, p. 51.) 
V. STANGEANA, Reichb. f. in. Bot. Zeit. xvi. (1858) 351; ullled to V. fusco- 
viridis, Lindl. (of Java), auricles of the lip semiovate divergent, blade gradually 
narrowed from a broad semicordate base, lip slightly 2-lobed, a pair of small calli 
before the mouth of the spur, dorsal sepal cuneate-ovate about equalling the petals, 
lateral sepals larger.—Sepals and petals golden green tesselated with beautiful ches- 
nut brown ; lip and column white ; lip pale violet in front, with a streak of red dots 
on each side of the spur, and a furrow under the column between the auricles.— 
Assam (Hort, Schiller). . 
V.VIPANI, Reichb, f. in Gard. Chron. 1882, ii. 134, 29; leaves very narrowly linear 
decurved deeply unequally 2-toothed, raceme few-fld., sepals and rather smaller petals 
cuneate-oblong obtuse undulate gradually narrowed to the base pale olive-green 
or ochreous barred with short brown-purple lines, lip panduriform, side lobes semr 
ovate golden yellow, midlobe olive-green 2-callous at the base, spur conical glabrous 
within.—Burma, Vipan. 
V, Wieurit, Reichb. f. in Walp. Ann. vi. 982 ; allied to V. Stangeana, Reichb. f., 
leaves more than a foot long narrowly ligulate unequally acutely 2-lobed, scape 
few and lax-fid., side lobes of lip subquadrate, midlobe broadly ovate, lip contract 
ligulate obtusely 2-lobed, disk with 2 thick ridges, pilose at the base of the ridges 
and side lobes, spur conical, column slender for the genus.—Nilghiris, Wight. 
61. SACCOLABIUM, Blum. 
62. Scuznorcuis, Bl. 63 Uncirera, Lindl. 64 AcaAWwPE, Lindl. 
Epiphytes ; pseudobulbs 0. Leaves flat keeled or terete. Peduncles lateral; 
owers usually small spicate racemed panicled or subcorymbose. Sepa!’ 
and peta/s adnate to the base of the column, spreading, subsimilar, tree. 
Lip sessile at the base of the column usually consisting of a large saccat® 
or conic cylindric spur, small lateral lobes and a small midlobe; sac OT 
spur not septate within and without a large scale or callus within under 
the column (except S. longifolium). Column short, broad, truncate, rarely 
beaked, foot 0; anther l- or imperfectly 2-celled; pollinia 2, entire or 
2-partite.— Species about 40, Eastern Asiatic. : 
Of the genera enumerated above, Schenorchis is not British Indian, a fact which 
I overlooked when drawing out the key to the genera, though it is noted in Gen. 
Plant. Uncifera I refer to Saccolabium ; its character of the incurved spur is insuf- 
ficient; snd that of the pollinia stipitate on the strap, or rather on the geniculate 
apex of the strap, though curious, is, considering how variable this organ is in the 
genus and its allies, not a dependable one for generic purposes. For 4campe I can fin 
no characters whatever, and it is difficult to retain it as a section ; its lip is that of sect. 
Calceolaria, as is the subcorymbose or umbellate inflorescence of most of the species
