18 PEOrESSOB LINDLEY's CONTEIBUTIONS TO 



longer apiculate mentum, and in the blunt lip not at all contracted 

 in the middle.

Mergui, Griffith (Dendr. No. 7, Notul iii. 313). 



An authentic specimen from Grriffith shows that this fine species 

 was described by him in the place above quoted ; and thus its 

 native country is novr ascertaiued. 



132. D. ramosissimum, R. Wight, Ic. 1648. 



S. Concan, Dalzell in hb. Hooker. {Stocks, 52). 



This is very near my D. Jierbaceum (Bot. Eeg. 1840, misc. 163) ; 

 but the flowers are white with a yellow lip, not white tinged with 

 green ; the lip itself is longer and more fleshy, and the flowers are 

 considerably smaller. I have examined fresh specimens out of 

 Mr. Bellenden Ker's garden from Dharwar. 



133. D. INCURVUM ; foliis angustis membranaceis oblique obtusis api- 

 culatis, racemis oppositifohis rectiusculis brevioribus, bracteis mem- 

 branaceis uninerviis pedicellis sequalibus, sepalis angustis acutissimis 

 antiee cum mento semiaperto acuto arcuatis, petalis angustioribus, 

 labello oblongo venoso antiee serrato circa discum 2-denticulato. 



Mergui, Griffith (808). 



This is the Dendrobium No. 9 of Grriffith's JSTotul. iii. 314, 

 forming the number succeeding to that of his AcUnia, and ap- 

 parently gathered in the same place. It has so entirely the ap- 

 pearance of that plant, that, as has been already observed, it is 

 difiicult to doubt that it is not the customary state of the species, 

 notwithstanding the very different structure of the flower. 



134. D. PORPHYROCHILUM ; caulibus brevibus caespitosis tetraphyllis, 

 foliis angustis membranaceis racemis terminalibus multifloris saepius 

 sequalibus, bracteis setaceis ovario subsequalibus persistentibus, sepalis 

 lineari-lanceolatis acuminatis, petalis paulo brevioribus, labello breviore 

 ovato acuto concavo lineis 3 elevatis, mento brevissimo rotundato.

" Sepals dirty pale yellow. Petals the same, with small red 

 streaks at the base. Lip purple with a yellow margin." — J". D. IT. 

 The whole plant seems thin and membranous, and varies in height 

 from 2 to 5 inches. It approaches the Bolbodia.
