MALAXIDE Æ. DENDROBIEH. 83 
This superb species flowers without its leaves in the Botanic Garden at 
Calcutta, in May. The blossoms exhale a faint smell resembling that of 
Rhubarb, as I learn from Dr. Wallich’s Mss. 
37. T DeNpRosium Calceolaria. Hooker. 
D. caulibus teretibus pendulis, foliis linearibus obtusis, racemis lateralibus 
laxis 5-floris, sepalis patentissimis petalisque oblongis obtusis latioribus 
venosis reticulatis, labello unguiculato cochleariformi obtusissimo mar- 
gine abrupte inflexo pubescente. 
Dendrobium Calceolaria. Hooker. Ex. Fl. 184. 
Hab. in India Orientali, Hooker. 
Flores rosei, magnitudine D. moschati, versus columnam flavescentes. 
Labellum lutescens, intüs maculis duabus amplis coccineis (venis nullis 
fimbriatis ex Hookero) ungue luteo. Columna et anthera atropurpuree, 
antice lutez. 
This species approaches very nearly to Dendrobium moschatum, with 
which however Dr. Hooker does not contrast it. It appears to differ in 
the characters I have pointed out, especially in the absence of the 5 crested 
veins that are found in the inside of the lip of D. moschatum, which Dr. 
Hooker would no doubt have both figured and described had they existed 
in his D. Calceolaria. 
Upon referring to Dr. Wallich's Mss. I find that his Dendrobium Cal- 
ceolus is the same as D. moschatum, and that he described it from Dr. 
Carey's Garden. It is therefore strongly to be suspected that this and 
D. moschatum are both the same. 
38. Denprosium fimbriatum. Wall. Mss. 
D. caulibus teretibus pendulis, foliis ovato-lanceolatis, racemis lateralibus 
multifloris, sepalis oblongis undulatis patentissimis, petalis majoribus 
undulatis ciliatis, labello indiviso cucullato rotundato fimbriato, fimbriis 
laceris. ; 
Dendrobium fimbriatum. Hooker. Exot. Fl. 71. Wall. Cat. no. 2011. 
Hab. in Napalia, Wallich. (hab. s. sp. e Museo Anglo-Indico.) 
Flores intense aurei, in icone Hookeriano unicolores, salvis striis quibusdam 
versus basin aurantiacis ; verosimiliter tamen basi sanguineo-maculati 
1n spontanea planta. 
This species has in some respects the appearance of Dendrobium chry- 
santhum, from which however it is distinguishable both by its inflores- 
cence and by the different shape of its petals. 
39. Denprosrum auriferum. : : 
D. caulibus teretibus pendulis, foliis oblongis obtusis integris, racemis 
lateralibus horizontalibus clavatis foliorum longitudine, bracteis curte 
latis dense imbricatis, sepalis petalis labelloque lineari-lanceolatis con- 
niventibus acuminatissimis. 
Hab. in China, Reeves. (v. ic. pict. sinens. in Bibl. Hort. S0.) 
Flores aurei, Bracteæ virides. Sepala lateralia basi parum dilatata, 
40. Denprosium moniliforme. Swartz. 
D. caulibus erectis ramosis, internodiis tumidis, d 
emarginatis obtusis, floribus geminatis foliis longioribus,
