34 PEOFESSOE lindlet's gonteibutions to 



This has numerous flowers on long stalks at the end of a 

 stout peduncle ; and the very fleshy leaves are convex and acute. 

 It is also quite different from S. calceolare in its decidedly cau- 

 lescent habit. The flowers are whole-coloured, yellowish-brown, 

 unspotted, with the lamina of the lip broad, triangular, and 

 marked with a circular collection of crimson spots in the very 

 disk. Grriffith's plant is a narrow-leaved small state, as compared 

 with the Sikkim form, which has twenty flowers at the end of a 

 stout peduncle 2^ inches long. I have seen no specimen ; and the 

 Indian drawing, after which the definition in the Gen. & Sp. was 

 prepared, seems to have been misunderstood. 



No Indian collection yet examined by me has contained a plant 

 that answers to the account of S. dasypogon.

This has much the appearance of the last ; but the petals are 

 short and obtuse, the leaves much broader, the racemes longer, 

 and the flowers blood-red, except the lamina of the lip, which is 

 white, with the two lateral short lobes greenish, succulent, and 

 resembling oblong glands. The flowers are scentless (J. D.H.). 

 I have it from Grriffith without locality. 



207. S. PACHYGLOSSUM ; foliis semitcretibus spicis paniculatis sub- 

 sequaiibus, sepalis carinatis oblongo-linearibus apice secundis, petalis 

 linearibus, labelli calcare oblongo leviter arcuate Hmbo carnoso un- 

 guiculato apice dilatato piano- subrotundo dorse convexo.

Flowers not half as large as in the two last, which it much 

 resembles. Sepals remarkably fleshy, narrow, with their points 

 recurved, while from between the laterals projects the lamina of 

 the labellum in the form of a minute spoon. 



208. S. RAMULOSUM ; caulescens raraosum, foliis semiteretibus an- 

 gustissimis recurvis, floribus (minutis) paniculatis clausis camosis, 

 sepalis oblongis carinatis, petalis brevioribus retusis, labello apice 

 plano-convexo calcare oblongo. — Schanorchis paniculata, Blume, 

 Bijdr. 362.
