Genus quoad formam labelli ejusque menti v. gibbi dorsalis fere de specie in speciem variat, in 
sectiones satis naturales quoad inflorescentiam a Blumeo dividitur :— 
1l. Cuculla. Racemi rhachis carnosula, anceps, bracteis regulariter distichis carinato-adnatis. 
In specibus typicis sepalum postieum et petala anguste linearia fere setaceo-aeuminata et caules 
foliati sepius breves vaginis subimbrieatis,  OnsrpicE, Jeichb. f. in Bonplandia, 1894, 93, est. S. 
amplexicaulis, caule foliato elongato, foliis subdissitis, et sepalis omnibus ovatis lateralibus latis. 
In TunmixsPERMO, Lour. Fl. Coch. 019, caulis ut in Orsidice elongatus dicitur, sed folia lanceolato- 
linearia et sepala omnia uti petala subulato-linearia ; speciem non vidimus. 
2. Fornicaria. Racemi rhachis teres, brevis, bracteis angustis confertis; caules foliati breves, 
foliis paucis. Hujus species typica est S. Hystriv, Reichb. f. (Dendrocolla Hystriz, BL), quam Reichb. 
f. in Xenia ii. 123 includit in GnosovnDva, ejusd. in Bot. Zeit. 1864, 297, et vix specifice Jia 
OvrixpnocnuiLus, Tw. Enwm. Pl. Zeyl. 307, quam auctor ipse in Appendice 430 ad Dend; 
reducit. Species cteterie Grosourdye, Reichb., nobis desunt, et characterem differentialem non bene 
intelligimus, nisi e mento v. gibbo labelli elongato ealcariformi sumitur. 
3. Tubera. Racemi rhachis teres, floribus alternis sparsisve dissitis. OnNrrHAnrIUM, Lindl. in 
Pazt. Fl. Gard. i. 188, f. 117. Guxwra, Lindl. Bot. Heg. sub n. 1699 ; Hook. f. Fl. Tasm. ii. 32, 
1.128. Hue pertinent species Asiatice a Reiehb. f. Xen. Orch. ii. 121 sub litt. B enumeratz, 
Australiane in Benth. Fl. Austral. vi. 292 vel a Fi ldo, Austral. Orch. in tabb. 4 
depietze, eum una Novo-Zelandica, Hook. f. Handb. N. Zeal. Fl. 263, et una Vitiensi, Reichb. f. in 
Seem. Fl. Vit. 297, t. 90 (TumrxseERMUM). Inter Asiaticas, S. Calceolus, Lindl. Bot. Reg. 1846, t. 19, 
insignis est floribus magnis. Cleisostoma ionosmu;n, Lindl. Bot. Reg. 1847, t. 41, floribus mediocribus, 
nobis ad Sarcochilum pertinere videtur etsi a czeteris speciebus differt racemo longe ramoso. Huie 
sdinis videtur racemo en simpliei Acrides Teysmanni, Miq. Choix Pl. Jard. Buitenz. t. 18, & 
'henb ad 5. relata. 
Nomen g i tL iri inepte B. i DECIDE, nam vitiosissimum est, et a 
Botanicis fere omnibus negl nec hodie corrigendum, ob Trichosperium jam a Blumeo generi 
Tiliacearum tributum, . 
Cxüroscuisra, Lindl. Bot. Reg. sub t. 1522, Wight, Ic. t. 1141, est Sarcochilus usneoides, Reichb. f., 
quie saltem sub anthesi omnino aphylla videtur. 
PrenocEnas, Hassk. in Flora 1842, ii. Beibl. 6, a Reichb. f. ad Sarcochilum teretem refertur, sed 
descriptiones Hasskarlli ibid. et in Pl. Jav. Rar. 128 vix conveniunt. 
Micnorrna, Dalz. in Hook. Kew Journ. iii. 282, quoad M. maculatum a Lindleyo in Journ. Linn. 
Soc. iii. 38 pro genere proprio servata, nobis ad Sarcochilum o m videtur. Labellum earnosum 
in hoc genere valde polymorphum. *
