Philippines, Cuming. 



This is certainly a plant of the same genus as Goody era procera y 

 and no JEtheria, as Prof. Beichenbach supposes.

Khasia, at the height of 4000 feet, J. D. H. $ T. T. (344), Griffith.

Khasia, 3000-5000 feet, J. D. H. $ T. T. (339) ; Sikkim, 3000-5000 feet, 

 J. D. H. (331) i Burma, Griffith. 



This seems to be a common species, and subject to some differ- 

 ences in the degree of hairiness of its flowers and in the length of 

 the bracts. The flowers are rose-coloured with a white lip and 

 petals. 



52. G-. vittata ; foliis OTatis acutis carnosis subtus purpuras supra vittis 

 3 pallidis, spica subspirali, floribus ovarioque glaberrimis, labello elongato 

 canaliculato, petahs sepalo dorsah conformibus. 



Sikkim, in hot valleys, J. D. H. (336). 



Flowers much larger than in the last, with the pouch of the lip 

 projecting beyond the sepals. Sepals pink ; petals and lip white. 



53. G-. CALVA ; foliis obliquis, spica oblonga omnind calva fohis parum Ion- 

 giore, bracteis linearibus acuminatis herbaceis floribus multd longioribus, 

 petahs obovatis. 



Java, Lohb. 



Much like some states of G. foliosa, especially in its unequal- 

 sided leaves ; in the length of the bracts it corresponds with the 

 Sikkim state of that plant. But its short spikes, perfectly smooth 

 ovary, and obovate petals induce me to separate it.

Sikkim, 12,000-15,000 feet, J. D. H. (347). 



55. M. mollis ; caule debili folioso, foliis ovatis acutis in vaginam fere ses- 

 silibus, scapo vagina subherbacea in medio spicaque tenui elongata mollibus, 

 sepalo dorsah lateralibus multd majore, petahs oblongis obtusis, labello 

 bilobo callis in ventre sigmoideis. 



Khasia, 3000-4000 feet, J. D. H. $ T. T. (343) ; Burma, Griffith. 



A slender plant a span high with small somewhat spiral soft 

 flowers, white and green. " Lip adnate (glued ?) to the margins 

 of column," J.D.H..
