P. 698. E. PARADOXA, Var. Parishii. Additional specimens of this collected in 
Upper Burma (Herb. Caleutt.), appear to prove this to be a distinct species, which 
may be characterized as follows :— 
26/1. L. Parisutt, Hook. f. ; leaves 2-3 narrowed to the base or broadly petioled 
lanceolate acuminate, flowers fleshy, bracts small ovate acuminate, sepals oblong 
obtuse 5-nerved, lip recurved obovate retuse, base with 2 teeth, sides flat, column 
suberect not winged, L. paradoxa, var. Parishii, Hook. f. l. c. 
TENASSERIM, Lobb, Parish. Upper BURMA, Herb. Calcutt. . , 
Leaves 2-3 in. Scape 6-8 in., naked, few-fld.; bracts 4 in. ; pedicels 3 in.; ribs 
of ovary not wrinkled; flowers 4 in. diam. ; sepals spreading, dorsal longest ; petals 
deflexed, margins revolute ; lip thick, minutely erose beyond the middle ; basal teeth 
united by a curved ridge, nerves faint subconcentric.—Very near L. paradoxa but 
pedicels longer, bracts smaller and sides of lip not erect. 
P. 701. After 37. L. OBSCURA, insert— 
37/1. L. LATIFOLIA, Lindl. Gen. & Sp. Orchid. 380. L. Scortechinii, Hook. Fl. 
Brit. Ind. v. 703, Ic. Plant. t. 2009. L. robusta, Hook. f. le. Plant. t.2012. 
Malaxis latifolia, Blume Bijdr. 393.—I have now little doubt but that the two species 
which I proposed as L. Scortechinii & robusta are forms of the Javanese L. latifolia: 
the former of which was taken from a drawing of a specimen in an advanced state” 
flowering. L. latifolia should be referred to the subsection of Coriifolia, with singie- 
leaved pseudobulbs and 3-nerved sepals. L. robusta is a native of Maxwell's Hill, 
PERAK (Wray). 
P. 701. After 41. L. oBscURA, insert the two following :— . . 
41/1. L. TORTA, Hook. f. Ic. Plant. t. 2014; pseudodulbs small, leaf sessile ellip- 
tic-lanceolate acute 9-nerved, scape terete, bracts half as long as the long decurv 
pedicels, sepals linear-oblong obtuse l-nerved revolute, margins recurved, lip shorter 
than the sepals cuneate-obovate angles rounded, tip rounded obscurely crenulate, 
callus basal 2-lobed. ` 
KnasrA Hirrs, alt. 3000 ft., Mann. , 
Pseudobulbs $ in., conical-ovoid. Leaf 4-5 by 1i-li in., thinly coriaceous 
Scape rather stout, with few lanceolate bracts, sometimes flexuous ; bracts Kaka 
lanceolate, membranous, spreading; pedicel with ovary 2 in.; sepals 4 in. ; lip 3 p 
broad.—A. very distinct species, perhaps nearest to L. bootanensis, but differing 
the 1-nerved sepals and the wings of the column not being hooked. 
41/2. L. TENUIFOLIA, Hook. f. Ic. Plant. t. 2013; pseudobulbs small narro", 
leaf elongate very narrowly linear-oblanceolate, scape naked with the elongate racem 
as long as the leaf, bracts setaceous equalling the short capillary pedicels, flow 
minute, sepals deflexed flat 1-nerved, lip with a suberect sessile lunate hypochile a0 
rhomboidly orbicular convex puberulous deflexed epichile, calli 0, column not wIng*"* 
Upper Assam; on the Mikir Hills, alt. 1000 ft., Mann. t 
Pseudobulbs 4—} in., narrowly pyriform. Leaf 6-8 by }-} in. at the broades 
part, narrowed downwards, 1-nerved. Scape and raceme very slender ; bracts ie 
as long as the pedicel and ovary; flowers pale, 4 in. diam. ; sepals linear-oblorg: 
obtuse, margins slightly recurved, nerve faint; lip rather shorter than the sepa 
lobes of the hypochile incurved, subacute, half as long as the epichile ; column 
rather slender.—4A very distinct species. 
P. 703. 45. L. SCORTECHINII, see L. latifolia, above. 
After 46. L. FLACCIDA, insert— 
46/1. L. enAciLIS, Hook. f. Ic. Plant. t. 2011; pseudobulbs narrow, leave? , 
oblanceolate, scape long slender terete, raceme long lax-fld., bracts as long as
