“EULOPHIA Zeyuert. 
Native of South Africa. 
Nat. Ord. Orcuiprz.—Tribe VanpDEm. 
Genus Evropni, Br.; (Benth. & Hook. f. Gen. Plant. vol. iii. p. 535 ) 
Evroruia Zeyheri; foliis post anthesin enatis elongato-ensiformibus acuminatis, 
scapo remote vaginato apice florifero, floribus confertim racemosis sub- 
sessilibus amplis aureis labello intus purpureo, sepalis oblongis acu-

affixa. 
E. bicolor, Reichb. f. & Sond. ex Reichb. f. in Flora, vol. xlviii. (1865), 186, 
partim (non Blume). 
The name ulophia bicolor given to this plant by 
Reichenbach is an unfortunate one, applying to four very 
distinct plants. First by Blume in 1857 (Orchid. Archipel. 
Ind. p. 181, t.) to a Timor species; then in 1857 by 
Dalzell (in Hook. Kew Journ. Bot. vol. iii. p. 843) to an 
Indian; and lastly by Reichenbach and Sonder (in Flora, 
xlviii. p. 186) to two species, an Eastern and a Western 
African, supposed by the authors to be the same. It is 
very unlike the German Orchidologist to have overlooked 
Blume’s excellent figure and elaborate description, but so 
it is, and Blume’s name must stand for the Timor plant, 
though it has been placed by Mr. Ridley in Cyrtopodium* 
(Journ. Linn. Soc. vol. xxi. p. 472). With regard to 
Dalzell’s bicolor, I have included it under H. nutans in the 
Flora of British India. 
* In doing this, Mr. Ridley followed the “Genera Plantarum,” where 
Cyrtopera (a section of Eulophia) is erroneously referred to Cyrtopodium. 
A full account of the course agreed upon by Prof. Oliver, Mr. Bolus, Mr. N. E. 
Brown and myself, of removing Cyrtopera from Cyrtopodium, and uniting 
it together with Lissochilus to Eulophia is given in Bolus’s “ Orchids of the 
Cape Peninsula” (offprint from Trans. 8. Afr. Phil. Soc. vol. v. part i. (1883), 
p- 104). Eulophia is strictly an Old World genus; and all the Cyrtopodia are 
American, 
Decemper 1st, 1893.
