conoideo-cylindracea, a feminea interstitio ± V2 cm. longo, organis neutris 

 perbrevibus, supra applanatis rotundisque munito separata. 



Apparently very near Sch. hastifolia EnGL. but the leaves with the lamina 

 proportionally much more elongated,

Schismatoglottis rubrocincta, EnGL., in Pflzrch, LV (IV, 23 Da), 

 Arac.-Philod.-Homal.-Schism., 106. 



Plants from an unknown habitat and collector, cultivated in the 

 Buitenzorg Gardens, on which EnGLER very probably based this species, 

 are distinguished from EnGLER's diagnosis as follows : Caudex erect, varying 

 from very short to 15 cm. high and 1 cm. thick; pétiole green, sheathing 

 to nearly or more than half its length, the anterior side somewhat flattened 

 and narrowly 2-marginate-cristate ; sheath pale-green; crests passing into 

 the base of the margin of the lamina (not the lowest primary veins), very 

 pale-green, more or less distinctly and sparingly, minutely red-puncticulate; 

 lamina smaller (probably due to the condition in which the plants are 

 placed), much acuminated, bounded by a narrow line consisting of numer- 

 ous crowded, very minute, red points, for the rest bringht-green above, 

 paler beneath with the space between the intramarginal collective vein and 

 the margin provided with scattered, minute, red points; primary veins 4— 6 

 on a side, prominent beneath; secondary veins varying from nearly as 

 stout as the primary ones to nearly as fine as the tertiary ones; collective 

 vein prominent beneath, disappearing towards the base,
