THE ORCHIDOLOGY OF INDIA. 187 



with a tomentose calyx, and shorter broader lip with a few cre- 

 natures. 



64. M. nervosus, I. c. 



Hot valleys in Sikkim, J. D. B. (341) j Ceylon, id. (334). 



65. M. flavus, I. c. 



Ceylon, Thwaites (3120) ; Assam and Mergui, Griffith. 



The lip seems to vary in the length of its lobes ; in Mr. Thwaites's 

 excellent sketches, in my possession, they are very short, broad, 

 and rounded ; in other cases they are deeply divided. 



66. M. goodyeroides (Zeuxine goodyeroides, Lindl. Gen. et Sp. Orch. p. 486). 

 Mishmee Hills, Griffith. 



" Sepals brownish flesh-coloured. Petals white." IV. G. 



Petals obovate, rather longer than the dorsal sepal. The habit 

 being that of Monochilus flavus, and the dorsal sepal not being 

 saccate, this requires to be removed from Zeuxine, in which I 

 first placed it. 



67. M. GUXEATTTS ; foliis ovatis linea media pallida, scapo basi univaginato, 

 floribus glabris, petalis oblique obovatis sepalo dorsali adnatis et paul6 

 longioribus, labello breviore apice rotundato. 



Mishmee Hills, Griffith. 



Very like M. regius, but the leaves are broader, the flowers 

 smooth, the lateral sepals longer, the petals rounded and obovate, 

 not linear and acute, and the lip rounded, not 2-lobed. The sepals 

 are almost petaloid, and I have found no calli in the hollow of 

 the hypochil.

68. C. flabellata, Wight, Ic. Vl2ft. (G-oodyera flabellata, A. Rich, m Ann. 

 des So. ser. 2. xv. p. 79. t. 12. Zeuxine moniliformis, Griffith, Notul. iii. 

 397. t. 350.) 



Bootan, Griffith. 



69. C. pakvifolia, Lindl. in Sot. Meg. 1839. Misc. no. 21 ; spica elongate, 

 labelli lamina" dentata sepalis vix longiore, stigmatis processubus acinaci- 

 formibus rostello sequalibus. 



Ceylon, Thwaites (3071). 



A slender plant, very like JEtheria flaw. An excellent drawing 

 and specimens from Mr. Thwaites show that it altogether agrees 

 with Cheirostylis in the connate sepals and stigmatic processes, 

 nor is it when young unlike Ch. flabellata, but the lip is wholly 

 dissimilar. The specific character originally given was framed 

 from a poor starved specimen; for that now described I am 

 indebted to Mr. Thwaites.
