PANISEA. 



1. PANISEA PARVIFLORA Lindl. LO., p. 44, sub Coelogyne. Folia I. n. 1. : 



P. foliis angusle ovalibus, racemis iiiullifloris bracieis ovalis pedi- 

 cellis brevioribus, sepalis petalisque ereclis obtusiusculis, labello lineari- 

 laDceolato. 



Dendrobium demissum. Don Prodr. 34. 

 Wild in Nepal, and Gossain Than Wallich , (v. s. sp.) 



2. PANISEA REFLEXA Lindl. Folia l. n. 2.: 



P. foliis ovalibus soiitariis Jonge petiolatis racemis nutanlibus multo 

 longioribus, bracteis ovatis setaceo - acuminatis pedicellis longioribus, 

 sepalis petalisque reflexis, labello lineari spathulato versus basin mar- 

 gine crispo. 



Androgyne. Griffiih . Notul. III 279. 

 Wild in Assana , on oaks , among species of Microstylis , Oberonia . etc, in Nov. 

 Griffiih ; Khosia , at Myrung in woods Id. (v. s. sp.). — Pseudobuibs diaphanous, cel- 

 lular - niembranous ; lip white , with yellow spots near the base Griffith. The same 

 aulhor menlions a pair of bracts to each flower, but this seems to be accidental. 



3. PAiMSEA UNIFLORA Lindl. LO. . p. 42, sub Coelogyne. Folia I. n. 4. 



P. pseudobulbis bifoliis vaginis scariosis imbricatis, foliis gramineis, 

 pedunculis unifloris ultra vaginas parum exsertis, sepalis carinatis pe- 

 talisque patulis acutis, labello obovato obtuso, ovario angulato. 



Wild in Nepal Wallich; Sikkim-Himalaya, in hot valleys J. D.Hooker, (v. s. sp. coram. 

 cel. J. D. H.). — Of this rare plant I possess very imperfect specimens. The leaves 

 ia pairs , and the obovate lip are peculiar. According to Wailich's MSS. the lip bas 

 ihree orange-coloured blotches from which four slightly elevaled lines descend ; but 

 I can now find in ihe Sikkim plant neither these lines nor the short falcate iaterali 

 lobes of the lip spoken of in LO. It is not improbable that some coiifusion exists 

 among the specimens bearing this name. Of ihe original C. uniflora I never examined 

 a flower. 



4. PANISEA BILAMELLATA. Huc : Coelogyne biaamellata Lindl. Folia I. V. sub C. n. 35. 



C. foliis oblongis 5-nerviis racemo elongato flexuoso multifloro bre- 

 vioribus, bracleis c. floribus simul decidentibus supra flores arclissime 

 imbricalis, sepalis carinatis, petalis filiformibus, labelli angusti basi 

 sigmoidei lobis lateralibus falcatis lamella duplici apice rotundata inter- 

 medio ovali bilineato apice crispo. 



Wild in ihe Philippines Cuming. (v. s. sp.). — The broad leaves and 3-lobed lip with 



a double lamella distinguish this from C. longifolia, of whjch it has ali ihe habit. 



I have only seen a single flower. 



Obs. Charactcrem generis non quaero in labeilo iaevi , sed in basi sigmoidea ejusdem. 



Pollinia certe incumbentia erunt.
