truncato margine irregulariter crenato albo roseo-maculato basi cor- 
nubus 2 erectis acutis prædito, columna utrinque apice breviter 
cornuta. 
Tota 4-5 poll. alta, floribus albis, labio excepto.—Crescit in arboribus 
ubique; fl. temp. frigido. 
The pseudo-bulbs of this very common plant are small, button- 
shaped, and green, with a white network over them; the peduncle is 
delicate, filiform, purple, two and a half to three inches long, glabrous 
and smooth, with tubular sheaths. The fruit is oval, shining, four - 
lines long. Lindley has sixteen species of this section in his “ genera 
and species," but not one from Continental India, where they are 
plentiful. 
Since writing the above I have received vol, v. part i. of Wight's 
* Icones,’ which is just published, and I find the two Orchids just de- 
scribed figured in it; the former as Eria reticosa, R. W., no. 1637, and 
the latter as Dendrobium humile, R. W., no. 1643.  Wight's Dendro- 
bium filiforme, no. 1642, was published in this Journal in vol. iii. p. 345, 
as D. microchilos (nobis). Several Orchids, to which Wight has given 
new names, have been already named and figured, both in the ‘ Bota- 
nical Magazine” and in the ‘Annales des Sciences Naturelles, 2nd 
series, vol. xv., by Richard. Habenaria peristyloides, R. W., no. 1102, 
does not belong to the genus, but is a most characteristic species of 
Cœloglossum, C. luteum, nobis, in this Journal, preceding volume. 
Habenaria Jerdoniana, R. Wight, no. 1715, has been named and de- 
scribed by me as Æ. diphylla in the same place. Cheirostylis flabellata, 
R. W., no. 1727 of the * Icones,’ is the Goodyera flabellata of Richard, 
in the work already mentioned. Sarcanthus pauciflorus, R. W., no. 
1747, is a very poor drawing of the plant described by me last year 
as S. peninsularis, and of which I sent you a coloured drawing.
