This curious orchid is undoubtedly the Fria vestita figured 
by Lindley in the Botanical Register for 1845, from Manilla 
specimens flowered by Loddiges, and which specimens are 
preserved in his Orchideous Herbarium, now at Kew. It is 
also in part the Dendrobium vestitum of Wallich, who dis- 
tributed along with this plant another species, which may 
be E£. vulpina, Reich. f., but is more probably different from 
either. 
E. vestitawas discovered by Wallich, at Sincapore; Loddiges 
received it from Manilla, and there are fine specimens in the 
Hookerian Herbarium from Bangarmassing, 1» Southern 
Borneo, whence the species seems to have a very wide range.
