labium, to which SchoenorcJiis pcmiculata and S. micrantha certainly 

 belong. 



Sabcanthus, Lindley. 



228. S. peninsularis, Dalzell, in Hook. Journ. iii. 343. (S. pauciflorus, 

 Wight, Ic. 1747). 



Western India, Dalzell ; Malabar, on trees, Jerdon {Wight). 



Specimens of this from Dalzell occur in Stocks' s Herbarium now 

 at Kew ; and I also have it in a very young state from Dr. "Wight, 

 whose figure is by no means so good as usual. (Wight's three 

 other Sarcanthi belong to Saccolabium.) G-riffith's Sarcanthus 

 secundm, Not. iii. 363, t. 336, from Suddyah in the Mishmee 

 hills, seems to be this, which, if so, will no longer be merely a 

 western plant. 



229. S. pallidas, Lindl. Bat. Reg. 1840, misc. 185. (S. tricolor, Rchb. 

 f. in Bonplandia. — Saccolabium racemiferum, Lindl. Gen, ^ Sp, 



Orch. 224, no. 24.) 

 Khasija, at 4000 feet, /. D. H. ^ T. T. (178), also found in Mr. Raban's 



garden, E. Nepal, J. D. H. {id.). 

 This differs in no respect w^hatever from the garden plant. 

 Prof. B/eichenbach's synonym is derived from a communication 

 from that learned Orchidologist. 



CoTTONiA, B. Wight, Ic. no. 1755. . 



230. C. macrostachya, Wight, 1. c. ( Vanda peduncularis, Lindl. Gen. 8f 

 Sp. p. 216.) 



S. Concan, Dalzell, in hb. Stocks. (4). 



231. C. Championi, LindL in Hook. Journal, vii. p. 35. 

 Khasija, at 3000-4000 feet, /. D. H. ^ T. T. (190). 



This seems to be in no respect different from the plant found 

 by Champion on Victoria Peak in Hong Kong, and thus affords 

 another remarkable instance of epiphytal Orchids occurring in 

 stations widely remote, without, as far as we at present know, any 

 intervening locality.
