THE OEOHIDOLOQY Or INDIA. 6 



Perhaps this is not distinct from D. anceps, with which it is 

 mixed in the Khasija specimens; but its long naked terminal 

 shoots, narrower leaves, much smaller flowers, and almost flabel- 

 liform lip, seem to be sufficiently difierent. 



81. D. (A.) EULOPHOTUM : fohis crassis scalpelliformibus obtusiusculis 

 approximatis ; labello rotundato crista maxima transversa utrinque 

 acuta. 



Mergui, Griffith ; Java, T. Lohh in hb. Hooker. 



Of this I have a carefully prepared drawing by Griffith. Its 

 great transverse crest on the lip resembles nothing except what is 

 found in D, indivisum of Blume ; but that plant, the Schismoceras 

 distichum of Presl, has terminal capitate flowers. The Java plant 

 is rather difierent, the apex of the lip being deeply and widely 

 retuse, while Griffith's plant is, according to his drawing, regu- 

 larly rounded ; but I see no other difference. 



§ II. Steongtle, Lindl. in Pacot. Fl. Qard. i. sub t. 27. 

 Under this are included all the species with terete leaves. Some 

 occur among the collections from continental India. I have one 

 or two to add to those already on record. 



82. D. UNCATUM : foliis rigidis triquetris brevibus disticliis retrorsum 

 uncatis acutis ; labello obovato bilobo intra sinum obsolete tristiche 

 papilloso. 



Java, T. Lohb (156). 



This differs from D. suhulatum in its strongly hooked leaves, 

 broader, more emarginate lip, and larger flowers. Nevertheless 

 Prof. Beichenbach, who saw both in my herbarium, does not 

 distinguish it. (See Bonplo/ndiay March 1, 1857.) It is not unlike 

 a small form of D. suhteres, 



§ III. Bhizobium, Lindl.j I. c. 

 Of this there is no Indian species. 



§ lY. Dendbocobyne, Lindl. iit Bot. Beg, 1844, t. 53 ; 1847, 



t. 36. Baxton, I.e. 

 This section must be confined to the species with stems or 

 pseudo-bulbs bearing leaves at the apex only, and always of a 

 thick leathery structure. "What I have formerly called Desmo- 

 tricJivmi, only in part the same as Blume' s genus of that name, have 

 for their character the same vegetation, with a lip whose middle 

 lobe is broken up into long threads.
