14 PROFESSOB LIITDLET's CONTRIBUTIONS TO 



114. D. spiNESCENs ; caulibus erectis, foliis distantibus oblougo-lan- 

 ceolatis, pedunculis oppositifoliis squamosis demum spinescentibus, 

 sepalis labelloque oblongis obtusis, petalis conformibus triplo mino- 

 ribus. {Cymbidium spinescens, Ic. Reinwardt.) 



Java? Reinwardt. 



Very different, in its flowers having the sepals spreading and | 

 of an inch long, from any of the allied species. According to 

 Beinwardt's drawing, the fruit is nearly cylindrical, angular, and 

 surmounted by the sepals, petals, lip, and column, much enlarged 

 and become quite green. There is no specimen in the herbarium 

 of Reinwardt. 



** Labello trilobo ; calvee. 



115. D. BREViFLORUM ; fasciculo florum sessih subgloboso, sepalis 

 petalisque duplo brevioribus carnosis obtusissimis, labello oblato 

 nudo lobis lateralibus falcatis auriformibus intermedio truncate plica 

 utrinque sub sinubus. 



Singapore? Herb. Loddiges. 



I know nothing like this, which flowered in 1844, in the nursery 

 of Messrs. Loddiges. The flowers are white, fleshy, with stripes 

 of crimson spots. 



116. D. stuposum, Lindl. in Bot. Reg. 1838, misc. 94. 



Khasija mountains, at 2000-4000 feet of elevation, J. D. H. ^ T. T. (11). 



The lip is 3-lobed, not entire as is stated in the original defi- 

 nition taken from an imperfect garden specimen, which led Prof. 

 Reichenbach to suppose that his D. sphegidoglossum was different, 

 — a mistake the blame for which is mine. 



117. D. Bluniei, Lindl. Gen. 8f Sp. Orch. No. 65. (Onychiura firabri- 

 atum, Blume, Bijdr. p. 325. Dend. planibulbe, Lindl. in Bot. Reg. 

 1843, misc. 70.) 



Java, Zollinger ; Manilla, Loddiges. 



An authentic fragment from Prof. Beichenbach shows that the 

 Manilla plant is identical with that from Java. 



118. D. aqueum, Lindl. in Bot. Reg. 1843, misc. 6. t. 64; Bot. Mag. 

 t. 4640. (D. album, Wight, Ic. t. 1645.) 



Khasija hills, T. Lobb. 



This is not to be found in the collections of Hooker and Thom- 

 son ; nor have I seen any wdld specimens, except a few flowers sent 

 home by Mr. Thomas Lobb to Messrs. Veitch. These want the 

 long hairs represented by Dr. Wight's artist, but agree perfectly 

 with the figure in the Botanical Magazine. D. ramosum, an 

 obscure plant with a slender pendulous branched stem and Ian-
