Flowers greenish, almost scentless, tinged with pink. The epichilium 
Is acuminated, a little crisp, and has two very conspicuous tubercles at the 
base; the hollow of the hypochilium is well described by Crantz as 
“ vernice splendente inuncta.” I have examined specimens of E. purpu- 
rata gathered near Woburn by Mr. Forbes ; and I see little or nothing to 
distinguish them from E. latifolia.

This is a taller plant than E. latifolia, with much longer racemes, and 
flowers sweetly perfumed with Vanilla, usually deep purple, sometimes 
green, as in E. latifolia itself. I retain it as a distinct species chiefly on 
account of the form of the labellum, which is certainly different from that 
of E. latifolia. 
5. ErrPAcTIS macrostachya. Lindl. in Wall. cat. no. 7404. 
E. foliis oblongis acuminatis amplexicaulibus multinerviis, racemo longis- 
simo multifloro, bracteis foliaceis inferioribus floribus duplo longioribus, 
hypochilio subrotundo, epichilio ovato acuto basi levi sepalis breviore. 
Hab. in India septentrionali; Gossain Than, Wallich. (hab. s. sp.) 
This species is extremely like E. latifolia, from which, however, the 
acuminate form of the cauline leaves, and the long leafy bracts, appear to 
distinguish it sufficiently. 
6. Epipactis Royleana. Lindl. in Royles’ Illustr. 368. 
E. foliis ovato-oblongis acutis amplexicaulibus multinerviis, racemo raro 
paucifloro, bracteis inferioribus foliaceis floribus dupló longioribus, hypo- 
chilio cuneato truncato, epichilio parvo ovato obtuso membranaceo : 
metachilio rhombeo carnoso interposito.
