Cymbidium tesselloides. Roxb. Fl. Ind. Mss.

2. VANDA furva. 
Angræcum furvum. Rumph. Amb. 6. t. 46. f. 1. 
Epidendrum furvum. Zinn. Sp. Pl. 1348. 
Cymbidium furvum. Willd. Sp. Pl. 4.103. 
Hab. in Amboyna, Rumphius. 
This obscure species was originally taken up by Linnzus, apparently 
from the figure above referred to in Rumphius; for he adopts the name 
of that author, although he also cites the wholly different plant figured 
in Rheede’s Hortus Malabaricus, vol. 12. t. 4, which is a representation 
of Saccolabium papillosum. There is nothing in either the figure or 
description of Rumphius' A. furvum, that would not apply well enough 
to Vanda Roxburghi; but as it is impossible to say to which it belongs, 
without some Amboyna specimen, and as it may be different from either, 
I leave it as a mark to which future botanists may direct their attention.
