182 PROFESSOR LINDLEY'S CONTRIBUTIONS TO 



39. R. rubens. (Cerochilus rubens, Gard. Chron., New Plants, no. 45. 

 Goodyera 4, Griff. Not. iii. p. 390.) 



Naga Hills, Khasia j Griffith. 



When I published this under the name of Cerochilus rubens, 

 I had forgotten my old section of Goodyera, which I had not seen 

 for fifteen years. It seems to me to be undoubtedly Griffith's 4th 

 Goodyera, which I hare from himself, although the flowers are 

 larger, as was to be expected in a cultivated plant. 



40. R. tenuis; caule scapoque pubescentibus, scapi vaginis supremis aris- 

 tatis, spica longa tenui tomentosa, labello libero obtuso margine subrepando 

 extils piloso. 



Philippines, Cuming. 



Very like B. elongata, but the spike much more slender, the 

 flowers not more than half the size, the lip quite free, sparingly 

 covered with jointed hairs externally, and the calli of the lip 

 sample and incurved, not broken up into narrow membranes, 



41. R. alsotepolia (Neottia alsinefolia, Herb. Beimoardt) ; debilis, caule 

 multifolio, foliis ovatis, spica 2-3-flora, bracteis membranaceis fimbriatis 

 ovario brevioribus, petalis sepalo antico solutis acuminatis obtusis recurvis, 

 labello apice transverso angusto bilobo. 



Java, Lobb in Hb. Hooker, Reinwardt. 



Stem weak, many-leaved at the very point, 2-3-flowered. Mowers 

 small, white, with odd sepal in front. Petals quite free, bluntly- 

 acuminate, recurved at the point. Lip ventricose, acuminate, end- 

 ing in a narrow transverse almost reniform point. The separation 

 of the petals and third sepal, in this species, is very remarkable. 



42. R. geandiploea; caule dense folioso, foliis ovato-subrotundis acutis, 

 spica 2-3-flora sessili glabra, sepaHs petalisque obtusis acuminatis, labello 

 libero apice 2-dentato. 



Java, Loll (192). 



Apparently a trailing plant with stems 6 or 7 inches long, 

 closely covered with roundish ovate acute leaves. The flowers are 

 twice as large as in any other species and perfectly glabrous. The 

 lip is channelled and acuminate from a free ventricose base, with 

 two short tooth-like blunt lobes at the point. 



XV. Goodyera, B. Brown. 



43. Q-. secundiflora, Griffith, Not. iii. 393 ; Ic. t. 347 ; also Goodyera no. 6,
