219. P. lucescens, Blmne, Bijclr. 295, 1. 12. 

 Borneo, in Sarawak, T. Lobb. 



The unguiculate labellum, with a pair of appendages at its base, 

 and the absence of all cohesion between the labellum and lateral 

 sepals, are characters at variance with the usnal structure of this 

 genus ; and yet it is the original typical species. 



220. P. cultratus, LindL Gen. ^ Sp. p. 234. 



Sikkim, in hot valleys, J.D.H. (1); Assam, Griffith, Masters. 



It is remarkable that all the specimens examined by me con- 

 tinue to be without flowers. 



221. P. microphyllus, Lindl. I.e. 



Khasija, at 3000 feet, J. D. H. (84) ; Penang, Gaudichaud. 



Elume's P. scalp ellifolius, which T have not seen, if accurately 

 ' dissected by his artist, differs in the lip being linear, not broad at 

 the base, and cordate ; and in the sepals being almost wholly united, 

 like some species of TsBniophyllum. In general appearance it is 

 undistinguishable from this. 



Ifote. — Blume's Cryptoglottis serpyllifolia, which I have from 

 T. Lobb, gathered in Borneo, is only a Podochilus with an ex- 

 cessive development of the lateral sepals into a long spur : the 

 basal processes of the lip are analogous to those of JPodochilus 

 lucescens. 



Camarotis, Lindl. Gen. & Sp. p. 219. 



222. C. purpurea, Lindl. 1. c. Sertum Orch. 1. 19. 



E. Bengal, Chittagong, and base of Khasija, /. D. H. ^' T. T. (186). 



223. C. pallida. (Micropera pallida, Lindl. 1. e.) 



This is not among the collections recently placed in my hands. 

 It is undoubtedly nothing more than a Camarotis. 



224. C. PHiLiPPiNENSis J folio oblongo oblique obtuso, racemis ar- 

 cuatis multifloris, sepalis lateralibus liberis labello suppositis, labello 

 subtriangulari saccato-cucullato apice carnoso tridentato incurvo. 



Philippines, Cuming. 



. Plowers larger than in either of the former, somewhat trian- 

 gular in the bud, apparently fleshy. There is no adhesion between 

 the sepals and labellum, as in C. purpurea and pallida^ on which 

 account the generic character requires to be modified; and the 

 same is the case in my Saccolalium fasciculatum, as Prof. Rei- 

 chenbach has suggested, if indeed the leaves and loose flowers of 

 that species really belong to the same plant.
