Don gives the following characters to the species united above :—ca care il 
sepals lanceolate acuminate long-spurred, filaments thrice as long as the an tà 
Wallichit, sepals lanceolate acuminate, spur short straight, filaments five ege 
long as the anthers. Hamiltonianum, sepals lanceolate acute, spur 8 ort hs 
curved, anthers as long as the filaments. An original drawing of the i. > 
(Hamilton’s “ Betua,” spelled Betiya) has acuminate narrow purple sepals KR it vay 
short spurs; it is not distinguishable from a drawing by Horsfield of the | avan w 
multiflorum (Horsfieldii). The Burmese D. latipetalum has broader sepals an 
this respect approaches the Chinese D. uniflorum, berry intermediate.

The type of this species is the Chinese uvularia chinensis of the Botanical Magris of 
a purple flowered plant hardly distinguishable from shortly spurred SP inte acute 
calcaratum. The flowers are narrow, nearly an inch long, with lanceo numerous 
sepals and filaments twice as long as the anthers. D. multiflorum Sé twice a8 
very small white flowers, with subspathulate mucronate sepals and filamen to white 
long as the anthers. D. Pitsutum has short cuneately lanceolate subaonta w the 
sepals, spreading from near the saccate base, and filaments longer or shorter Sikkim 
anthers, it passes into Leschenaultianum. I have found it single-flowered lus white 
where it is identified with Baker's Chinese D. uniflorum. D. parviflorum filaments 
flowers only 1-3 in. long, with narrow lanceolate acuminate sepals, an 
about twice as long as the anthers.
