with red transverse veins. Apparently the axis is fleshy, c-eva-.ed, 

 and extended as far as the point of the lip. 



Ols. — Dendr. pumilum, E-oxb. PL Ind. 479, is not the plant so 

 called by Griffith, if the statement in the former work can bo 

 trusted ; but the specific character and description are so much 

 at variance, that some error of the Indian transcriber is to be 

 suspected. 



D. crepidahwt, Grifi*. Notul. iii. p. 319, is quite different from 

 the species so named by me. But the printed description is so 

 confused and self-contradictory, that I have not been able to 

 identify the species. 



Prof. Eeichenbach reduces the genera Cadetia, Latouiiia, and 

 DiCHOPUS to the present genus. I have examined no specimens 

 of them.

 triangularibus, petalis labelloque lanceolatis, pohiniis luteis. 



Mishmee, Griffith ; Darjeeling, Id. ; Sikkim, Cathcart. 



This very distinct species occurs only among my specimens 

 from Grriffith and in Cathcart' s drawings, according to which the 

 flowers are of one uniform clear-yellow colour. Calyx much con- 

 tracted at the mouth, and not at all longer than broad ; petals 

 •linear-lanceolate ; lip lanceolate. Pollen-masses yellow, not green 

 as in the last. Capsule obscurely six-ribbed. I can find no trace 

 of this remarkable plant among Griffith's descriptions or notes.
