thickened. Cleisostoma acaulis, Lindl. Gen. & Sp. Orchid. 227. Vanda 
fimbriata, Gardn. mss. 
CEYLON, Macrae ; at Hantani, Gardner. 
Leaves 5-6 by }-L in. Peduncle and pedicels very short, X in , stout ; flowers 
} in. diam., apparently very fleshy.— Possibly a form of S. nilagiricum, but the leaves 
and lip appear to be very different. The specimens are very scanty and poor. 
Sect. IIT. Acamez. (See p. 54.) 
The species of this section are very difficult of discrimination in a dried state, 
and the following diagnoses and citation are not very reliable, owing to imperfection 
of specimens and vagueness of published descriptions. (See two species at the end of 
the genus.) 
* Peduncle rather slender; flowers in large panicles. Spur of lip 
cylindric; midlobe ovate.

Stem 1-2 ft. Leaves 7-9 by 1-11 in. Panicle longer or shorter than the leaves, 
branches distant lax-fld.; flowers }-1 in. diam. ; midlobe of lip ovate, crenate, 
2-auricled and with fleshy teeth at the base; spur cylindric, as long as the limb, 
hairy within. Capsule 1-12 in., fusiform.—Bentham in Gen. Plant. iii. 581, misled 
by a mixture of specimens of different species, errs in referring S. lineolatum to 
Cleisostoma maculosum ; it is clearly this plant.

hemispheric or conic sac, midlobe reniform.
