48 PROFESSOK LIND ley's CONTRIBUTIONS TO 



Of this singular ])lant I have a fragment from Grardner, and 

 several are preserved in the Hookerian herbarium, but all without 

 leaves. The pseudobulbs are oblong shrivelled bodies, jointed 

 into a sort of chain or necklace. The flowers are very small and 

 with no elongation of the sepals. Neither lip nor pollen-masses 

 are known to me.

 Phreatia imiflora, Wight, Ic. t. 1734.). 



Kbasija, Griffith; Churra Punjee, Id. {6G6). 



This, the original Conchidium, has not eight equal pollen-masses, 

 as is represented in the figure of Wight's artist, but they are even 

 more unequal in size than is shown in Griffith's plate. It is not 

 in the Khasija collections formed by Hooker and Thomson. 



265. E. sinica. (Conchidium sinicun], Lindl. in Hooker^ s Journ.) 

 Hong Kong, Champion (278). 



Differs from the last in the sepals and petals not being acu- 

 minate, in the lip being serrated ; the scape is both 1-flowered 

 and 2-flowered. I fear, not distinct from the Khasija species. 



§ II. Dendeolieitjm, Blume. 

 If we collect into one group all the large-flowered woolly spe- 

 cies with pseudobulbs only, an assemblage will be formed both 

 natural and obvious, to which Blume's happy name of Dendro- 

 lirium may be applied. Some terete-leaved plants can hardly 

 indeed be said to form pseudobulbs ; but their leaves fall even- 

 tually from the summit of very short stems altogether analogous 

 to pseudobulbs, although unlike in form. Two divisions are 

 effected by taking into account the form of the leaves.

I learn from Prof. Beichenbach that this is among Zollinger's 

 unpublished Java plants. It resembles what I suppose to be the 

 Bendrolirium sulcatum of Blume, but is very much more densely 

 tomentose.
