386 Prof. Lindley on new Orchidaceous Plants, 



55. Prescottia orchioides ; foliis lanceolatis in caulem ascenden- 

 tibus sensim in bracteas acutissimas ciliatas floribus sequales mu- 

 tatis, spica elongata multiflora, petalis basi ciliatis sepaloque dor- 

 sali adhserentibus, lateralibus revolutis, labello erecto antico (!) 

 oblongo concavo unguiculato margine carnoso venis radiantibus 

 parum elevatis. 



Mexico (Hartweg). 



Stem taken with the spike, which is a span long, about a foot and 

 a half high. The plant looks like some Platanthera. 



56. Stenorhynchus cernuus; glaber, foliis radicalibus longe petio- 

 latis ovatis acutis 5-nerviis, vaginis scapi 3 acuminatis laxis, s))ica 

 brevi densa cernua, bracteis lineari- lanceolatis floribus brevioribus, 

 labello lineari-lanceolato unguiculato biauri ante stigma ventricoso 

 apice convoluto serrulato. 



Quito (Hartweg). 



57. AcR^A triloba ; foliis radicalibus lanceolatis glabris, scapo erecto 

 pubescente, spica oblonga villosa, sepalis lineari-lanceolatis vil- 

 losis, labello cucullato trilobo : laciniis lateralibus runcinatis gla- 

 bris intermedia multo minore ovata reflexa tomentosa. 



Peru (Hartweg). 



58. Habenaria j9yramzc?a//5 ; foliis oblongis obtusis imbricatis reti- 

 culatis ad spicam pyramidatim ascendentibus, racemo longo denso 

 cylindraceo, bracteis foliaceis ovarii longitudine, sepalo dorsali 

 subrotundo lateralibus reflexis, petalis subrotundo-ovatis, labello 

 ensiformi basi utrinque unidentato, calcare subfalcato ovario 

 longiore. 



Mexico (Hartweg). 



A showy plant with a spike a span long. Near H. petalodes. 



59. Appendicula micrantha ; foliis distichis ovato- oblongis obtusis, 

 spicis axillaribus solitariis nutantibus folio brevioribus, bracteis 

 subulatis reflexis, labello ovato acuto. 



Philippines (Cuming). 



This has the smallest flowers of any that I have examined. It is 

 near Blume's Jpp. reflexa, which is said to have an obtuse mucro- 

 nate lip. 



60. Trichoglottis philippinensis ; foliis subrotundo-ovatis emargi- 

 natis mucrone interjecto, sepalis . oblongo-lanceolatis patulis, pe- 

 talis reflexis linearibus brevioribus, labello esaccato pubescente 

 secus axin villoso oblongo convexo apice hastato-trilobo dentibus 

 baseos brevibus rotundatis. 



Philippines (Cuming). 



A plant with the habit of a Vanda, but with very short, roundish, 

 leathery, somewhat imbricated leaves. The flowers are solitary in 

 the axils, an iiich and a half from the point of the dorsal sepal to that 

 of the labellum. The species difi^ers from Blume's figure and descrip- 

 tions in not having a very short spur or sac at the base of the lip, 

 but in nothing else that seems essential.
