Phaius grandifolius. Lindl, in Wall. Cat. Herb. Ind. no. 3747 nec Lour. 
Hab. in Sillet, Wallich. (hab. s. sp. e Museo Anglo-Indico et v. ic. pict.) 
Facies omnind P. grandifolii cum quo malè confudi. Sepala extüs nivea 
intüs fusca. Petala intüs fusca, extüs mints nivea. Labellum album, 
intüs pallido flavo et rubore paululüm suffusum. 
In Dr. Wallich's Catalogue I committed what I now believe to have 
been an error, in referring this to the Phaius grandifolius of Loureiro. In 
general appearance it bears much resemblance to it, but upon more full 
consideration I have come to the conclusion that the Sillet plant is to be 
distinguished by its very acuminate bractez, sepals and petals, and also 
by the labellum not only having a point gradually tapering into a long 
point, as in Brassavola nodosa, but being also destitute of the rich yellow 
and red marking of the Chinese species, 
3. Passus Blumei. 
P. “ sepalis acuminatissimis, labello intüs bicristato, limbo semitrilobo, 
lobo medio maximo undulato, gynostemio subnudo." Blume Bijdr, p. 
374 sub Limodoro Incarvillei. 
Hab. ........ Cultus in hortis Jave ; Blume. 
The above diagnosis applied by Dr. Blume to his Limodorum Incarvillei 
is so entirely at variance with Phaius grandifolius and with all others here 
described that I cannot doubt its belonging to a distinct species. 
4. Puasus veratrifolius. Lindl. in Wall. Cat. Herb. Ind. no. 3746. 
EF. caulescens, foliis oblongo-lanceolatis acuminatis, sepalis petalisque 
lineari-oblongis acutiusculis, labello obovato-oblongo crispo integro re- 
pando apice emarginato, calcare recto conico obtuso. 
Dendrobium veratrifolium. Roxb, Hort. Beng. p. 63. 
Hab. in Sillet, Wallich. (hab. s. sp. e Museo Anglo-Indico et v. ic. pict.) 
Pseudobulbi oblongi, nigro-virides. Caulis bipedalis. Folia immaculata, 
Scapus caule brevior. Bracteze obovato-lanceolate. Sepala et petala 
pallide flava. Labellum luteum, non cucullatum, lobis lateralibus ob- 
soletis ab intermedio parvo emarginato vix distinguendis ; ergo integrum 
repandum dicitur.—Obs. Descriptio et diagnosis ab icone Wallichiano, 
cum exemplaria nimis sint imperfecta ad partes rité distinguendas. 
This must not be confounded with Limodorum veratrifolium of Rox- 
burgh, which is the type of the genus Calanthe. 
5. Paasus maculatus, Lindl. in Wall. Cat. Herb. Ind. no. 3748. 
P. caulescens, foliis ovato-lanceolatis acuminatis maculatis, sepalis petalis- 
que oblongis obtusis, labelli trilobi lobis apice plicato-crenatis : latera- 
libus rotundatis intermedio ovato obtuso multd minoribus, calcare recto 
oblongo obtuso.
