180 PROEESSOB, lindley's conteibutions to 



resemble those of Ancectochilus setaceus. The short lip, with its 

 two broad obovate lobes, are very characteristic. The lateral 

 sepals spread at right angles, and are rosy at the point but green 

 at the bases.

Sikkim, Cathcart. 



Of this no specimens exist in the herbarium. Mr. Cathcart's 

 artist represents it as a plant 6 or 7 inches high, with roundish 3- 

 ribbed leaves setting close to the stem, and shorter than the downy 

 scape, which has two distant acuminate scales. The flowers (five) 

 are distant, white, with no fringes on the unguis of the labellum, 

 whose terminal lobes are half-ovate, somewhat falcate, and serru- 

 late on the outer side. It is so very different from all others that 

 I do not hesitate to describe it from a drawing only. 



XII. Physttrus, Rich. Lindl. Gen. et Sp. Orch. 501. 



No species of this genus occurs among Dr. Hooker's collections. 

 The following are new : — 



33. P. hirsutus (Goodyera hirsuta, Griffith, Ic. t. 347 ; Notul. iii. p. 

 On tbe Burmese frontier of Assam, Griffith. 



I have seen no specimens. The leaves are said to be glaucous 

 beneath ; the scape or rather the spike tawny ; the bracts and 

 all the flowers more or less ferruginous, with a white lamina to 

 the lip. 



34. P. vieidiploetjs (Neottia viridiflora, Blume, Bijdr. 408) ; caule debili 

 ascendente usque ad spicam folioso, foliis ovalibus acutis inaequilateris, 

 spica 6-8-flora, sepabs crassissime carinatis, labello lanceolato apice defiexo, 

 appendicibus calcaris filiformibus eapitatis. 



Java, Lobb Sf De Vriese. 



Four specimens occur in Sir "W. Hooker's herbarium. It is a 

 weak plant, not unlike Physurus dehilis ; the closed flowers and 

 excessively thick keels of the sepals are remarkable. Petals with 

 the inner edge straight, the outer straight near the point, half- 

 oblong next the base. 



35. P. GLANDTJLOSTJS ; foliis rosulatis ovato-oblongis membranaceis scapo 

 erecto filiformi tomentoso supra medium vaginato multo brevioribus, spica 

 pauciflora corymbosa pilis glandulosis conspicuis tecta, labello lineari cana-
