82 PBOFESSOR LINDLEY's CONTRIBrTIONS TO 



short spur may almost as well be referred to tlie labellum as to 

 the column. 



196. C. MYSORENSis ; foliis oblongis petiolo longioribiis, bractids sub- 

 ulatis ovario sequalibus, sepalis lineari-lanceolatis carinatis apiculatis, 

 petalis planis minoribus? labello oblongo indiviso crispo apiculato 

 iatus nudo. 



Mysore, Law in hb. Stocks. (56). 



A plant with the habit of C. ftcsca, but widely different in the 

 structure of the lip. Owing to the bad state of my specimen, I 

 am uncertain whether the petals are really much shorter than the 

 sepals, or not. 



197. C. SANGUINEA J aphylla, discolor, tubere crasso oblongo arti- 

 culate, scape trivaginato, bracteis lineari-lanceolatis ovario longioribus, 

 sepalis oblongo-lanceolatis, petalis ovatis brevioribus, labello obsolete 

 trilobo apice rotundato recurvo, anthera mucronata. 



Sikkim, Cathcart; at 4000-5000 feet, J. D. H. (223 & 361). 



Plant from 1 foot to more than 2 feet high, of one uniform 

 dull-greenish crimson tint, except the lip, wliich is rose-colour. 

 The petals are not much more than f rds the length of the very 

 acute sepals, which are rather more than 1 inch long. The inside 

 of the lip is free from lamellge or other processes, but is obscurely 

 papillose on all the veins. 



There is a Cyi'topera from Sumatra with dense pyramidal ra- 

 cemes of dull-purple flowers among Professor DeYriese's drawings, 

 where it is called Cymbidium geophilwn ; but I have seen no spe- 

 cimen. It seems to be different from this. 



Saccolabium, JBhme. 



198. S. guttatum, Lindl. Gen, 4' Sp. Orch. 220. 



Chittagong, Col. Fielding ; Kamaon, in the Simai valley, J. D. H. (185) ; 

 Sikkim, in hot valleys. Id. (184). 



It may be doubted whether either Saccolabium Blmnei (which 

 is S. Bheedii of Wight's Ic), or S. macrostacJiyum (Sertum, Orch. 

 t. 47), are distinct from this common species, notwithstanding the 

 difference in the form of the middle lobe of their lip and some 

 other circumstances. At least I have from Java a plant gathered 

 by Mr. T. Lobb, which combines the praDmorse leaves of S. gut- 

 tatum with the short spike and retuse lip of S. Blumei. 



199. S. GURWALICUM; subacaule, radicibus maximis compressis, foliis 

 canaliculatis distichis trimcatis spicis simplicibus longioribus, sepalis 

 petalisque obtusis, labelli calcare late conico rotundato compresso
