8 PEOFESSOE LINDLEY's CONTEIBUTIONS TO 



* Mores fasciculati, aut geminati, aut in racemulis B-4i-Jloris. 



90. D. HooKERTANUM ; foliis ovatis acuminatis, pedunculis 3-4-floris, 

 bracteis minutis, sepalis petalisque subsequalibus integris, labello 

 ovato fimbriis crinitis cincto laminai ipsee aequalibus, ungue convoluto 

 basi retrorsum bidentato. 



Sikkim, at 1000-5000 feet, J. D. H. (8). 



A very striking species, witb flowers as large as Dalhousieantmt, 

 with very long shaggy fringes surrounding the labellum, which 

 has two blood-red spots on each side above the unguis itself, fur- 

 nished at the base with a double reversed tooth. There is a figure 

 among Mr. Cathcart's drawings. 



91. D. chrysanthum, WallicJi, Cat, No. 2012; Bot. Reg. 1299. 

 Darjeeling, Griffith-, Khasija, Griffith ; at 3000- 5000 feet, J. D. H. <^ T.T. 



(13); Churra, J. D. H. J Sikkim, in hot valleys, at 2000-5000 feet, 

 J. D. H. (13). 

 There is scarcely any variation among the numerous specimens 

 before us. All have the broad rounded sepals and strictly fascioled 

 flowers so characteristic of this beautiful species. Dendrobium 

 Faxtoni (Bot. Eeg. 1839, Misc. 56), of which I have seen no wild 

 specimen, diflers in its longer and less rounded petals, which are 

 slightly serrated. 



92. D. oclireatum, Lindl. in Wall. Cat. jio. 7410. (D. Carabridgeanum, 

 Paxton, Wlag. Bot. vi. 265 ; Bot. Mag. t. 4450.) 



Khasija, Griffith. 



Prof. H. Gr. Eeichenbach informs me that the odd stigma is at 

 the base of the fovea stigmatica, and not at the apex beneath the 

 rostellum as usual, — a circumstance I have not had an opportunity 

 of observing. 



Other species of this section are aureum^ Lindl., or Jietero- 

 carpoii, Wallich, of which D. rTiombeum, Lindl. is a white variety ; 

 villosulum, "Wall., or Jerdonianum^ Wight ; JRucheri, Lindl. ; san- 

 guinoJentum, Id. ; rugosum and salaccense, Blume ; and I suppose 

 intermedium and ochroleucum, Tijsmann. 



** JRacemosa ; racemis multifloris. 



93. D. moschatum. Wall. PI. As. ii. p. 83. ; B.M. t. 3837. 

 Khasija, at 4000 feet, J.D. U. ^ T. T. (16). 



.94. D. FuscATUM ; foliis oblongo-laneeolatis acutissimis, racemis fili- 

 formibus flexuosis, bracteis linearibus herbaceis, petahs sepalisque 

 subrequalibus oblongis rotundatis, labello oblate cucuUato retuso den- 

 ticulate ciliato.
