FLORA VITIENSIS. 295 
Ill. b. Lindley in Contrib. l.c. hee habet: “This is certainly a plant of the same genus as Goodyera 
procera, and no Aetheria, as Professor Reichenbach supposes.” Equidem, in Seemannia Bonplandia, vol. 
iii. p. 214, plantam pro Aetheria proposueram. Jam mihi vix placet, nune de difficiilimis Goodyeraceis 
sententias proferre, eum plures adhue mihi sint melius investigande, ae misera specimina concedunt. EIL 
Lindley, ubi protulit, que indicavi, labellum solum inspexit. Goodyera procera tamen, ut omnes Goodyere, 
stigma habet confluens. Rhamphidia rubicunda, uti Rhamphidia rubens, crura duo stigmatica inter se re- 
mota tenet.

mentum obliquum extensa. Tepala sepalo supremo zqualia. Labellum naviculare, apice dilatatum, 
intus 3-carinatum. Columna breviuscula, apice subequalis, rostello bifido, a sepalo dorsali libera. 
Anthera oblonga. Pollinia 4, pulverea (?), in caudicula lineari, Glandula subquadrata.— Habitus 
Elleanthi (Evelyne). 
1. T. effusa, (sp. nov.) Reichb. f.; panicule rhachi fractiflexa; bracteis bipectinatis, ovatis, 
acutis, 7-nerviis, ovaria pedicellata florida subzquantibus; sepalis tepalisque lanceis, acuminatis! 
mento obtusangulo, parvo; labello naviculari 3-nervio apice lanceo-reflexo; columna brevi.—Somo- 
somo, Island of Taviuni (Seemann! n. 612) ; Viti Levu (Greffe !). 
Descripsi specimen Herbarii Kewensis, quod satis bene convenit cum speciminibus duobus Greeffeanis. 
Specimen quod ego teneo Seemannianum racemum simplicem habet, sed videtur esse ejusdem plantæ.— 
* Flores flavi." Caulis pedalis, foliis cuneato-oblongis acuminatis. 
VI. Corymbis, Thouars, Orch. t. 37, 38. Sepala oblonga, lateralia nunc connata. Tepala 
subequalia. Labellum naviculare, apice dilatatum, intus bicarinatum. Columna clavata, apice dila- 
tata, rostello bifido, sepalo summo adnato, post anthesin elongata. Anthera ovata. Pollinia 4, 
pulverea (?) in caudicula lineari. Glandula quadrata.—Habitus precedentis, inflorescentia ramosa. 
l. C. veratrifolia, Reichb. fil. in Flora, 1865, p. 183.— Hysteria veratrifolia, Reinw. in Flora, 
1825, vol. ii. p. 5. Rhyncanthera paniculata, Bl. (Tab. LXXVIII.) (ovario false triloculari). Ma- 
crosiylis disticha, Kuhl et v. Hasselt, Orch. Corymbis disticha, Lindl. Folia Orchid. vol. i. e. p.— Viti 
Levu and Ovalau (Seemann! n. 603; Barclay!). Also in the Malay Archipelago, and in India. 
Planta arundinacea. Folia disticha, cuneato-oblonga, acuminata, multinervia, plicata. Panicule axil- 
lares. Bracteæ distichæ, triangule, acute. 
Sustrisus Il. EUOPERCULATJE, Reichb. f.—Anthera incumbens, mobilis, tota demum decidua. 
Pollen ceraceum seu pulposum seu pulvereum. 
a. ARETHUSEX, (Lindl.) Reichb. f.— Pollen pulposum seu pulvereum. 
VII. Epiphanes, Bl. Bijdr. p. 421. Perigonium externum connatum, sepala lateralia altius, 
profundius fissa, sepalum dorsale cum tepalis alte connatum. Labellum explanatum, columnz pedi 
producto articulate impositum. Columna arcuata basi in pedem producta. Anthera terminalis, 
4-locellaris. Pollinia farinaceo-pulposa semilunata. Fovea immediate sub androclinio.—Tuber 
crassum, horizontale. Caules crassuli, vaginati, apice racemosi.— V ultus Orobanchoidei. 
1. E. micradenia, (sp. nov.) Reichb. f.; labello flabellato apice minutissime tuberculato.— 
Island of Ovalau, in woods, very rare (Seemann! n. 610). 
Tuber crassum, subfusiforme. Caulis supra tuber radicibus filiformibus. Pedunculus teres, quatuor 
quinque usque pollices longus, vaginis ochreatis acutis brevissimis. Racemus auciflorus. Bractee tri-
