SARCOCHILUS LILACINUS, Griff. 
Climbing over bushes, Pekan. 
S. CALCEOLUS, Lindl. 
Kwala Tenok, Tahan River. 
This common Malayan plant is omitted from the ‘Flora of British India.’ It occurs 
usually on the sea-coast, covering rocks with a dense mass of stems. The flowers are 
large and beautiful, but have the great defect of almost all the Sarcochiles in being 
very short-lived. 
S. HIRTULUS, Hook. f. 
Abundant on trees on the limestone rocks, Kota Glanggi ; Pulau Chengei ; River Tahan. 
Flowers white, with pink spots. 
S. TRICHOGLOTTIS, Hook. f. 
On orchard trees, Pekan, Tanjong Antan. 
This is so common in Singapore as to be an absolute nuisance on the trees. The 
flowers are yellowish white, the lip similarly coloured, with some ochre spots on the 
lateral lobes outside, and an orange callus in the centre.

This is one of the set of Fornicaria Sarcanthi in which the lip is rolled up into the 
form of a trumpet, woolly at the mouth, and the lateral lobes are suppressed. It is 
f., but is very distinct in its longer and slenderer 
nearly allied to S. £richoglottis, Hook. z j

scapes, squarrose bracts, and the с | 
though the flowers are as fugacious as those of the very common S. trichoglottis.
