MALAXIDE&. PLEUROTHALLEX. 27 
Hab. in India Orientali ; Rheede. 
This is an obscure plant of which no modern botanist seems to have 
seen a specimen. It is, if correctly described, distinguishable from L. 
elatabyits flowers being sweetscented and yellowish green, with anovatelip.

I was formerly of opinion that the Brazilian and Indian plants were dif- 
ferent; but more recent observation and the inspection of Dr. Wallich’s 
Indian drawings have induced me to combine them. I presume there is 
no doubt of the plant in the Garden of the Horticultural Society, from 
which L. elata was originally described, being really of Brazilian origin ; 
and yet it is undoubtedly possible that there may have been some trans- 
position of labels. I do not adopt the older specific name of bitubercula- 
tum because it is expressive of a character common to every species of 
the genus. .
