50 Heft. Orchidaceae — Monandras — Dendrobiinae and Orchi- 

 dacese — Monandrae — TheUxsinse by Fr. Kranzlin. The author 

 discards Alvisia and adopts the name Eria articulata Lindl. 

 for Alvisia tenuis Lindl. His citation of " Alwisia " is an 

 error, and lais discussion as to the correct form of the name is 

 based on a misprint (" Alivis ") in Trimen's Handbook of the 

 Flora of Ceylon, IV., p. 168. The remaining Ceylon species 

 of Eria are unchanged. Figvires are given of Eria articulata, 

 E. braccata, E. muscicola, and E. Thwaitesii. With regard 

 to the last named the author remarks, " CI. Hooker f. labello 

 adscribit lobos laterales parvos, ' side Jobes very small,' in 

 specimine authentico labellvim stricto sensu simplex reperi, 

 ceterum descriptio 1. c. optime quadrat cum specimine a me

 to Phreatia, in agreement with Bentham and in opposition to 

 Thwaites, Hooker, and Trimen.
