THE ORCHIDOLOat OF INDIA. 67 



I have an imperfect specimen. In that plant the petals are acute, 

 spathulate, and bordered with brown near the points, and the leaves 

 are linear lanceolate, and much less hairy. 



304. E. LEioPHYLLA; caule ferrugineo tomentoso apice glabro di- 

 phyllo vaginis 2 membranaceis oppositis in medio, foliis oblongo-lan- 

 ceolatis glabris, spica brevissima uniflora (?) arete tomentosa, bracteis 

 truneatis, labello rhorabeo carnoso glabro obtuso basi convexo.

My specimen is nearly glabrous except the inflorescence. The 

 stem is terete, 2-leaved, with a long brown sheath at the base, and 

 a pair of smaller opposite membranous ones in the middle. The 

 lip seems to be deep crimson. 



305. E. annulata, Bl. Mus. Lugd. ii. 184. 



A unique specimen from Sikkim comes near this species ; but 

 the flowers are very old. The leaves are broad and hairy, and 

 filled with large masses of calcareous concretions.

307. E. VULPINA {Rchb.f.); moUiter ferrugineo-villosa, foliis oblongo- 

 lanceolatis papyraceis obsolete nervosis, spica multiflora recta lanata, 

 bracteis ovatis recurvis, floribus distantibus mento rotundato, petalis 

 linearibus brevioribus ciliatis, labello carnoso glabro laciniis lateralibus 

 dentiformibus intermedia rotundata. 



Phihppines, Cuming. 



This is the plant hastily referred to in the Botanical E-egister 

 (1845, t. 2) under E. vestita ; but a more careful examination 

 shows it to be quite distinct in its straight, not flexuose rachis, 

 ovate not acuminate bracts, round, not elongated chin, short 

 ciliated, not long smooth petals, and in the whole superficies of 

 the lip, w^hich appears to want the hairs and lamellae of E. vestita. 

 I have not been able to observe the tubercle seen at the base of 

 the limb by my learned friend BcJib.f, ; but the lip is so fleshy 

 and compressed when dry, that I may have missed it. 



308. E. capitellata; caulibus ad insertionem foliorum juniorum 

 ferrugineo-hirtis, foliis carnosis anguste lanceolatis acuminatis glabri- 

 nseulis, spicis brevibus densifloris, sepalis lateralibus ovatis, labello 

 concavo carnoso ovato apice decurvo sub lente tomentoso infra apicem 

 convexo.
