THE OECIIIDOLOGY OE INDIA. 81 



Ctetopeea, Lindl. 



190. C. bicarinata, Lindl. Gen. 8f Sp. Orch. 189. 



G-riffith's Cymhidium, Not, iii. 343, No. 9, is certainly this, and 

 it is to that description, not to No. 8, that his figure 319 belongs. 

 The description of No. 8 has nothing to do with any species of 

 Cymbidium, Eulophia, or Cyrtopera. 



191. C. CANDIDA; foliis oblongis acutis petiole sequalibus, bracteis 

 subulatis ovario sequalibus, sepalis lineari-lanceolatis, petalis oblongis 

 apiculatis brevioribus duple latieribus, labelli trilobi lobis lateralibus 

 ovatis ebtusis intermedie subrotundo crispe apiculato recurve multe 

 brevieribus tuberculis 2 rotundis versus basin venisque 3 majoribus 

 came sis elevatis. 



Sikkim, Cathcart, J. D. H. (241). 



Corm orbicular, covered with coarse shreds. Mowers rather 

 before the leaves, greenish white, except the sepals, which are 

 herbaceous. The base of the column is saccate, but the lip is 

 merely concave. Anther fleshy, triangular, stained with crimson. 

 In a dried state it is much like C. tricarinata. 



192. C. fusca, Wight, Ic. 1. 1690. 

 Nilgherries, J.D.H. (215). 



■Wight's figure is a good one, except that the lower half of the 

 veins on the lip is represented as scabrous, like the upper half, 

 while in reality it is perfectly smooth. 



193. C. flava, Lindl. l.c. = C. CuUenii, Wight, Ic. 1754, no deubt. 



194. C. ensiformis. (Eulephia exaltata, Rchb.f. in Bonplandia, Feb, 

 15, 1857.) 



Phihppines, Cuming. 



An authentic specimen, though but a single flower, from Prof. 

 Beichenbach, enables me to identify his -£/. exaltata^ which is cer- 

 tainly a genuine Cyrtopera. I am unable to find on the lip the 

 elevated keels which my learned friend describes. "What I find is 

 a somewhat fleshy middle lobe, hollowed out like a spoon, and 

 compressed between the lateral lobes. This being smaller than 

 some other Cyrtoperas, I am obliged to change the specific name.: 

 that of ensiformis indicates one main feature of the species whose 

 leaves are as long, straight, and narrow as any Iris or Griadiolus. 



195. C. squaUda, Uchh. in Bonpl. Feb. 15, 1857- (Eulephia squahda, 

 Lindl. in Bot. Reg. 1841, Misc. 164.) 



Phihppines, Cuming ; Borneo, T. Lobb. 



I assent to the removal of this from Eulophia, although the
