10 CXLVIII. OROHIDEEX. (J. D. Hooker.) [Sarcanthus. 
gland ovate.—Described from an excellent drawing by Parish. Habit, spike and 
bracts of Cleisostoma spicatum ; but the flowers are smaller, yellow, and the spur 
distinctly septate within. 
13. S. oxyphyllus, Wall. ex Lindl. in Bot. Reg. 1840, Misc. 58; 
leaves 6-12 by 1-$ in. rigid acuminate, racemes short dense-fld., sepals 
oblong obtuse, petals smaller obovate-oblong, side lobes of lip acuminate, 
midlobe small ovate incurved, spur much longer than the sepals sub- 
cylindric obtuse. ? Cleisostoma subulatum, Blume Bijd. 362. Angraecum 
pugioniforme, Klotzsch in Cat. Sem. Hort. Berol. 
TENASSERIM; at Moulmein, Parish. 
Stem short. Leaves thickly coriaceous, margins recurved, narrowed to both ends. 
Raceme 4-6 in. ; bracts minute, acute; flowers 4 in. diam., dull purple, with yellow 
disk and margins; spur large, obtuse, septate below the middle, dorsal callus large 
lobed; column rather long, rostellum minute; anther acuminate, pollinia didymous, 
strap very slender, gland minute.— Very near S. pugioniformis, Reichb. f. in Otto and 
Diet. Gartenzeit, 1856, 219, but the leaves in that are broader and racemes mu 
longer. Lindley (Bot. Reg. 1. c.) says that ozyphyllus is nothing but a narrow leaved 
var. of the Chinese S. rostratus, but as noted under S. secundus there has been? 
misapplication or transference of Wallich’s name of ovyphyllus by Lindley o 
/allich.
