60 PBOFESSOE LINDLET's CONTRIBUTIONS TO 



317. E. VALiDA; foliis oblongo-lanceolatis coriaceis apice valde ob- 

 liquis obtusis, pedunculis bifloris bracteis ovatis erectis papyraceis 

 cucuUatis, floribus glabris, sepalis lateralibus ovatis dorsali petalisque 

 3-nerviis oblongo-linearibus, labelli lobo intermedio oblongo rotun- 

 dato margine papilloso lateralibus duplo brevioribus acutis sinubus ro- 

 tundatis apertis, lineis tribus clavatis apice divergentibus infra isthmum. 



Java, T. Lobl (205). 



A stout erect plant, with a stem half an inch in diameter, and 

 leaves 6 inches long. I can find no tubercle on the foot of the 

 column ; nor can I identify it with any of Blume's plants. 



318. E. APOROIDES ; foliis brevibus obtusis acinaciformibus equitan- 

 tibus, pedunculis unifloris, bracteis linearibus obtusis carnosis, floribus 

 glabris, sepalis petalisque ovatis obtusis, labello acute 3-lobc^lobo 

 intermedio majore carnoso. 



Phihppines, Cuming. 



This has very much the appearance of the plant figured by 

 Adolphe Brongniart as Aporvm incrassatum (Duperrey, t. 42 B) ; 

 but the lip is 3-lobed, not entire. 



§ XI. Ubostachya. 



The caulescent species with numerous leaves, and long racemes 

 or panicles of flowers, without the woolly lip-appendages of §Eiii- 

 URA, form a natural group which may be conveniently placed apart 

 from others. The flowers, with the exception of JE. hamhusifolia, 

 are very small and densely arranged. 



319. E. floribunda, Undl. in Bof. Reg. 1844, t. 20. 

 Java, hb. Junghuhn (307) ; Mergui, Griffith. 



Of this ^. leucostacJiya of the Hort. Soc. Journ. iii. xv. and xvi. 

 is, as was then suggested, a mere variety. 



320. E. micrantha, Lindl. Gen. and Sp. Orch. p. 68. 

 Java, Lobb (314). 



The Octomeria racemosa of Kuhl and Hasselt seems, from a 

 tracing sent me by Prof. E/cichenbach, to be this plant, which is 

 very like U.florilunda, but with smaller flowers, and with the lip- 

 auricles perfectly lateral and not intralabellar. 



321. E. PACHYSTACHYA; foliis oblongo-lanceolatis nervosis, spicis 

 densissimis elongatis glabris, bracteis squamiformibus reflexis, floribus 

 (minutis) tomentosis mento elongato incurvo, petalis glabris line- 

 aribus obtusis falcatis sepalis brevioribus, labello sessili oblongo 

 acuto Isevi. 



Java, Junghuhn (298). 



322. E. RETROFLEXA ; foliis anguste oblongis spicis tenuibus duplo
