144 CXLVIII. OROHIDEE. (J. D. Hooker.) [ Habenaria. 
Stem with raceme 12-18 in.; hairs cellular, scattered. Leaves clustered below 
the middle of the stem, 5-8 by 13-23 in. Raceme 4-6 in., lax-fid. ; sheaths large, 
ovate, finely acuminate; bracts 3-1 in., shorter than the ovary, ovate-lanceolate; 
flowers greenish, about 3 in. diam. ; ovary 3-1 in., beak very slender; dorsal sepal 
embracing the anther, lateral reflexed triangular-oblong in outline but with the 
lower margin so gibbous as to form an obtuse false apex to the 5-nerved sepal, the 
true apex in which the looped nerves end beiug close to the base of the sepal ; 
petals gibbously triangular; staminodes adnate to the sides of the anther; anther 
recumbent, tubes very long decurved; pollinia clavate, caudicle very long, glands 
minute; stigmatic processes very long ; rostellum obscure. 
37. H. Murtoni, Hook. f.; leaves petioled crowded towards the base 
of the stem oblanceolate, spike puberulous, dorsal sepal orbicular hooded 
much smaller than the deformed lateral, petals small triangular, lip much 
longer than the sepals tripartite to the base, segments filiform subequal 
or lateral shorter, spur longer than the long-beaked ovary slender. 
MALAY PENINSULA; Perak, on limestone rocks, Scortechini, Kunstler. SINGA- 
PORE, Murton. 
Stem 2-3 ft., with rather close-set ovate-lanceolate leafy sheaths, 1-2 in. long 
above the leaves. Leaves 6-10 by 2-3 in., narrowed into a broad petiole. Spike 
lax-fld. ; bracts ovate-lanceolate, equalling the decurved ovary ; flowers 2-$ in. diam. ; 
upper margin of lateral sepals very short straight, tip lateral, nerves forming deep 
loops; anther-cells very much as in H. malleifera, tubes very long; pollinia shorter 
than their long caudicles, glands minute; stigmatic processes globose ; rostellum 
obscure. 
38. H. Kingii, Hook. f.; robust, leaves large crowded towards the 
base of the stem petioled, spike puberulous, dorsal sepal obovate cucullate 
as long as the cultriform beaked strongly falcate lateral, petals linear- 
lanceolate obtuse, lip much longer than the sepals tripartite to the base, 
segments very slender subequal, spur as long as the slender long-beak 
ovary. 
PERAK ; on limestone rocks, King’s Collector. 
Stem 1-21 ft. Leaves 5-10 in., acute or acuminate. Spike lax-fld. ; bracts 
ovate-lanceolate, as long as the ovaries; flowers pale silvery green ; sepals about 
} in. long, acuminate, 5-nerved ; petals shorter than the dorsal sepal, 1-nerved ; spu" 
slightly thickened downwards ; anther closely embraced by the hooded dorsal sepa’ 
tubes very long stigmatic processes and rostellum as in H. Murtoni.—Differs from 
H. Murtoni in the form of the lateral sepals, the long dorsal, and in the pe! 
and spur. Both these and H. furfuracea are near H. ciliolaris, Kranzlein of China, 
and H. muricata, Vidal, of the Philippine Islands. 
39. H. furfuracea, Hook. f.; tall, leaves large obovate or oblanceo 
late clustered, spike lax-fld. furfuraceous with short cellular hairs, dorsal 
sepal broadly ovate acuminate hooded as long as the cultriform strong y 
curved lateral, lip subequally tripartite to the base, spur shorter than the 
long-beaked ovary tip fusiform. 
KnasrA HILLS; at Nunklow, alt. 3-4000 ft., J. D. H. & T. T. 
Closely allied to H. Kingii, but more slender, with a furfuraceous spike and 4 
shorter spur with a fusiform tip. The anthers stigmatic apparatus, &c., are nearly 
the same in both. This and Kingii differ remarkably from H. malleifera & Murtom 
in the less deformed lateral sepals. 
40, H. pubescens, Lindl. Gen. § Sp. Orchid. 322; stem leafy 
towards the base and elongate many-fld. raceme pubescent, leaves ellipti 
lanceolate base narrowed, dorsal sepal hemispheric nearly as long 83 
dimidiate-ovate obtuse lateral, petals linear, lip much longer than
