2. O. calcaratus, Hook. J. Ic. Plant. ined.; leaves very small ovate 
acuminate, flowers 1-3, claw of lip crenate, lobes small quadrate or 
rounded, column with a linear process descending into the cylindric or 
Incurved spur.

_Stem 3-5 in, slender, flexuous, leafy. Leaves 1-3 in., sessile or petioled, 
aristately acuminate, Peduncle very short, and bracts lanceolate, quite glabrous ; 
flowers white ; sepals linear, l-nerved, lateral with the outer bases connate and 
enclosing the spur; petals linear-lanceolate, 1-nerved ; lip 4 in. long, spur half as 
long as the sepals, with a columnar caruncle enclosed, tip straight or incurved ; 
column short ; rostellar arms long, slender ; anther ovate-lanceolate ; pollinia short, 
each attached to the gland by a long stout caudicle.— Wray describes the leaves as 
green dashed with crimson, veined with gold, and bordered with red, the flowers 
white, Scortechini says, leaves dark purple, sepals pale carnation, lip white. 
This is a Myrmechis with the claw of lip of Odontochilus.

Petioled ovate, scape 1-3-fld., bracts oblong ciliate, lateral sepals ovate

tem with scape 2-3 in., ascending from a prostrate base, stout for the size of the 
plant, Leaves acute, rather thick; nerves obscure; sheaths very short. Scape 
With one membranous ciliate sheath ; flowers subglobose, 2 in. diam., white; dorsal 
Sepal broadly ovate with an obtuse recurved tip, l-nerved, lateral triangular-ovate, 
Very oblique at the base, l.nerved; sac of lip simple, internal calli very large; 
f "minal lobes shortly exserted, thick.—So like Cheirostylis pusilla that it was con- 
Ounded with it by Lindley. The specimens I have seen are very few, and the 
owers very difficult of analysis.
