EASTERN COAST ОҒ THE MALAY PENINSULA. 865 
Trees on the heath-district at Pekan and Kwala Pahang. I have since met with it 
again at Yan, in Kedah, growing on Durian trees. 
A very curious little plant, distinguished from all others known to me by the pseudo- 
bulbs lying flat on the very slender stems, which thus traverse them for their whole 
length and are adnate to them. 
As the flowers are not strictly umbellate, as in typical Cirrhopetalum, this might very 
well be classed with Bulbophyllum. The flowers, however, so much resemble those 
of Cirrhopetalum that I class it here provisionally. 
CIRRHOPETALUM ($ ЕрнірРІСМ) ВЕЗТВЕРЛА, n. sp. Rhizoma breviusculum, pseudobulbis 
approximatis, parvis, cylindricis, viridibus, j-pollicaribus. Folium obovatum, peti- 
olatum, 2 pollices longum, 1 pollicem latum, lete virens. Scapus uniflorus, ferme 
4-роШсатів, filiformis, parte superiore incrassato, vagina singula in medio. Flos 
mediocris. Sepalum posticum lineare, superne attenuatum, apice clavato, marginibus 
supernis involutis, lateralia obliqua, lanceolata acuminata, marginibus ad basin et 
apices connatis (parte mediana libera), pollicem longa, 3 pollicem lata, omnia 
flavescentia, kermesino-punctata, presertim versus bases. Petala minima, vix 
4-pollicaria, viridia, marginibus brunneis. Labellum petala haud superans, carnosum, 
ovatum, apice decurvo, minute atro-punctato. Columna brevis et crassa, smaragdina. 
Anthera quadrata. Stelidia bifida, lobo postico quam antieus breviore. 
On bushes, especially those of Vaccinium, at Pramau, near Pekan. 
The genus Ephippium was founded by Blume for a Javan plant (E. ciliatum), 
which Lindley referred to the genus Oirrhopetalum (C. Blumii). It differs from typical 
Cirrhopetalum in the scape bearing but one large flower, instead of a whorl; in fact 
Ephippium bears much the same relation to Cirrhopetalum that Sarcopodium (Sesto- 
chilus) does to Bulbophyllum. There are several other species of this section in the 
Malay Peninsula. The above-described one is dull-coloured, but the form of the flower 
recalls that of the South-American Restrepias, whence the specific name.

А very fine Celogyne with white flowers as large as those of C. cristata, Lindl., was 
brought from Kuantan by Mr. Durnford. I met with it also on a tree overhanging the 
Tahan River. Mr. Boxall, on seeing a sketch of it, recognized it as the long-lost 
С. Forstermanni, Reichb. f., a plant described from Messrs. Sanders’ garden, which was 
stated to have come from the “Sunda Islands.” It is quite possible that C. Maingayi, 
Hook., is a synonym, for, except that the leaf and pseudobulb are smaller, 1 cannot see 
any difference in the description of the two plants. I will give a description of the 
Kuantan plant :— 
Herba pro genere magna, pseudobulbis elongatis, conicis, 5 pollices longis, pollicem crassis, 
profunde canaliculatis, remotis. ^ Folia lanceolata acuta, basi angustata, plicata, 
atro-viridia, circiter 15 pollices longa, 21 pollices lata. Racemus lateralis nutans,

tectus. Flores speciosi 9, magni, remoti. Bractez
