THE OBOHIDOLOaY OF IKDIA. H 



My examination of this singular plant agrees with Dr. Fal- 

 coner's description. Although a monster, I am unable to indi- 

 cate the species to which it may possibly belong. Suspicion points 

 to D.fimbriatum ; but that species seems to be quite an eastern 

 plant, while D. normale has hitherto been seen only in the Western 

 Himalayas. The late Col, Yicary informed me that the specimens 

 which he first found, and from which Dr. Falconer's description 

 was taken, were gathered in 1832, in the vicinity of Mussooree 

 and Landour. 



§ YII. EuDENDEOBiUM, Lindley, in Paxton's Fl. Gard. i. sub t. 27. 

 I have no other change to make in the limits of this large sec- 

 tion than the exclusion of all the species with great yellow flowers, 

 which now stand in the first section of Holochrysa. 



A. Caule 0, v. hrevissimo carnoso (Bolbodium, Lindl. I.e.). 

 No species are among the Hookerian collections. The following 

 are new. 



100. D. SUBACAULE, Reiuwardt, MSS.; fohoparvo oblongo pedicellis 

 geminatis breviore, sepalis petalisque acuminatis, labello nudo latiori 

 subconformi, mento gracili recto petalis duple longiore, ovario triptero. 



Java, on the top of Momit Tidore, Reinwardt. 



"Whole plant, the vermilion flowers included, is little more than 

 an inch high. This is the smallest of the genus. 



101. D. PRASiNUM; folio ovali obtuso, floribus solitariis, sepalis lan- 

 ceolatis petahsque ovatis acutissimis, mento brevi obtuso, labello un- 

 guieulato auriculato rhombeo acuminato concavo nudo bilineato. 



Feejee islands, 2000 feet above the sea, Asa Gray. 



A very distinct plant, of which I only know a drawing by Agati, 

 in the possession of my learned friend Prof. Asa Gray. The 

 flowers are sea-green, nearly two inches in diameter. The sepals 

 about J of an inch wide. 



102. D. extinetorium^ Lindl. in Bot. Reg. sub t. 1756. 

 Moulmein, CfriJUth, on Careya arborea, in damp places. 



A true Dendrohium, as is shown by its pollen-masses. Pseudo- 

 bulbs depressed. Peduncles filiform, erect, 2 to 3 inches long, 

 one-flowered, with a minute bract about an inch off" the ovary. 



B. Caule elongato. 

 * Labello integro. 

 This group consists of numerous species so nearly related to
