chrysanthum, from which it is distinguishahle hoth by 

 its inflorescence and the different shape of its petals. 



43. D. polyanthum (Wall. Cat. no. 20()y. L. no. 31) ; cauli- 



bus teretibus pendulis, foliis oblongo-lanceolatis apice 

 integris, racemis 3-4-floris lateralibus foliis brevioribus, 

 sepalis lanceolatis : lateralibus supremo subeequalibus, 

 petalis majoribus oblongis undulatis, obtusis, labello 

 obovato cucullato ciliato, capsulis fusiforraibus apteris. 



Moolmayne This plant is evidently very near 



D. moschatum. It however appears to have smaller 

 flowers, with far narrower segments, and, as far as can 

 be ascertained from dried specimens, they are nearly 

 colourless, except the lip, which is yellow. 



44. D. moschatum (Wallich in L. no. 36. Hooker in Bot. 



Mag. t. 3837. CymUdiurn moschatuniy Willd. JEpiden- 

 drum moschatum, Hamilt. in Symes' Ava, 3. 315. c. ic.

 cupreum, Herbert in Bot. Reg. t. 1779. D. clavatum, 

 Wall. cat. no. 2004) ; caulibus teretibus pendulis, foliis 

 lineari-lanceolatis oblongisque, racemis lateralibus laxis 

 5-6-floris, bracteis pedicellis 3-pl6 brevioribus, sepalis 

 patentissimis petalisque oblongis obtusis latioribus venosis 

 reticulatis, labello unguiculato calceolari obtusissimo 



margine abrupte inflexo pubescente. Burma, Pegu, 



Ava, Sylhet.- This beautiful plant, with large nankin 



coloured flowers, stained and veined with crimson, is 

 readily known by its labellum, whose edge is turned 

 inwards and delicately fringed with hairs. Its odour is 

 compared by some to musk, by others to rhubarb, and 

 by others to wood-roof. 



45. D. calcaratum (A. Richard Sert. Astrolab. t. 7) ; caule 

 ramoso quasi articulato florifero aphyllo, foliis lineari- 

 lanceolatis acutis, floribusspicato-corymbosis, bracteis line- 

 aribus acutis glabris, sepalis lateralibus in cornu clavatum 

 fissum productis, labello lineari subspathulato piano 



acuto. Vanikoro. Known tome only by the figure 



and description in the Voyage of the Astrolabe. It has 

 the habit of D. ramosum. Possibly it should be referred 

 to the § Pedilonum. 



46. D.Jiavescens (L. no. 48. Onychium fiavescens, Blurae, 

 p. 325) ; ebulbe, foliis paucis lineari-lanceolatis obtusis
