which has two continuous, not interrupted, rugose elevated lines. 

 Not among the collections of Hooker and Thomson. 



275. E. SCABRILINGUIS ; pseudobulbis ovatis suleatis, foliis binis ob- 

 longo-lanceolatis trinerviis, raceme oblongo erecto densifloro, labelli 

 trilobi aspero-cristati lobis lateraUbus brevibus acutis intermedio 

 rotundato. 



Sikkim, ic. Cathcart. 



Flowers pale green. Lip deep violet. I have seen no specimen 

 of either this or the next. 



2^^. E. viTTATA ; pseudobulbis oblongis, foliis binis oblongo -lanceo- 

 latis 5-nerviis, racemo oblongo elongato pendulo densifioro, labello 

 oblongo costis 3 elevatis marginibusque erispis. 



Sikkim, ic. Cathcart. 



Flowers larger than in the last, pale green with crimson stripes ; 

 iip the same colour, but paler. 



§ IV. Ttlosttlis, JBlume, Fl, Jav. p. vi. (Callostylis, Id. 

 Bijdr. 340.) 



The long slender curved column and unguiculate roundish un- 

 divided lip of these plants make it convenient to place them in a 

 section by themselves, especially considering their peculiar inflo- 

 rescence, consisting of flat round woolly horizontal bracts. 



277. E. pulchella, Lindl. in Wall. Cat. no. 7407; Bot. Reg. 1841. 

 misc. 106. 



Malacca, Cuming. 



This is possibly the Callostylis rigida of Blume's Tabellen, 74; 

 but if so, the figure is a bad one. 



278. E. discolor; pseudobulbo in caulem subarticulatum extenso, 

 labello oblongo subcordato acuto glabro concolore. 



Sikkim; Glen Cathcart, 3000-4000 feet, J.D. H, (168). 



I have seen no flower of this, and therefore trust to one of Mr. 

 Cathcart' s drawings, and a solitary specimen of the stem and 

 leaves. It is much like the last ; but the lip appears to be longer 

 than broad, as well as whole-coloured and smooth, while in U. 

 pulchella it is broader than long, yellow with a small purple disk, 

 and conspicuously tomentose. 



§ V. MXCARANTHES, JBltime. 



The only species figured by Blume, M. latifolia, is an Eriura. 

 Whether his M. ohliterata and lobata belong to the same section 

 is uncertain, nothing being known about them. With me, the
