Genus eum Saccolabio sepe confusum, differt i. ih peii columna in pedem plus minus produeta, in 
series v. sectiones sat distinetas dividitur :— 
1l. Planifolie. Folia plana coriacea v. rigida.  Column:e pes valde elongatus. Hue pertinent: 
species typica 4. odoratum, Lour. ; Bot. Reg. t. 1485, Bot. Mag. t. 4139; 4. erispum, Wall.; Bot. Mag. 
t. 4427 ; Wight, Ie. t. 1674 (Saccolabium, et A. Lindley t. 1677); 4. virens, Lindl. Bot. Reg.

2. Teretifolie. Folia teretia, carnosa. Columns pes brevis. Harum specierum nobis notz 
sunt: 4. eylindricum, Lindl.; Wight, Ie. t. 1744, 4. vandarum, Reichb. f. (4. cylindricum, Bot. 
Mag. t. 4982, non Lindl.), et 4. zuratwm, Reichb. f., Bot. Mag. t. 5728. 
A. appendiculatum, Wall, foliis teretibus, ex ieone in herb. Lindl. ad Cleisosíoma referendum 
videtur. 4. Hystrir et A. diforne, Lindl, sectionem, nunc genus Ornithochilus, Wall., formant ; 
A. teniale, Lindl., ad Doritidem A. W Lindl, est Vanda paryiflora, Lindl, 
: A. multiflerum, Roxb. (A. affine, Lindl. Sert. Orch. t. 15, Bot. Mag. t. 4049, Paxt. Mag. ii. t. 60), 
Species in India orientali late dispersa, habitu Aeridibus et Saccolabiis dense racemosis subsimilis, 
ab utroque genere distinguitur labello ut in 4racAnanthe basi nec saccato nec calearato, sed sub 
lobo medio gibbo v. ealeare brevi reeurvo instructo. Columna quam in utroque genere longior. 
Species vix sub Aeride retinenda, an. tamen rite ad A4rachnanthem (Armodorum) referenda, dubium 
remanet.
