Selangor, on the Pahang track, on trees ; Aug. 1897. 



This species is allied to C. Makoyanum Rchb. fil., but is altogether 

 a larger plant, with much broader lateral sepals. The sepals are 

 connate throughout their entire length, and the apex of the connate 

 pair is incTquilateral ; they are 1 in. long and ^ in. wide. The 

 colouring of the flowers is rather dull, the upper sepal and petal 

 reddish, the lateral connate pair an orange-ochre colour with 

 numerous red dots. 



C. CuRTisn Hook. fil. (Bot. Mag. t. 5774) was collected by Mr. 

 Curtis at Pungah, in Siam, not in Malacca, as suggested in the 

 Botanical Magazine.

Borneo, at Pontianak (cult, in Hort. Bot. Singapore). 



The most striking feature of this plant is the long narrow foliage 

 rising from the base of the stem and recalling the leaves of Cijmhidium 

 aloi/olium, and the absence of any pseudobulbous enlargement of the 

 stem, which indeed is flattened. The flowers are numerous and 

 crowded, borne on a raceme shorter than the leaves, and springing 

 from one of the upper axils. The broad lateral sepals are separated 

 to the base of the lip, spreading widely open. The lip is peculiar 

 in having two broad bars running the whole length of the disc 

 between the lateral wings, and covering a nectary formed by the 

 boat- shaped floor of the lip, the only entrance to which is a space 

 at the extreme base. The whole sac is full of nectar. A somewhat 

 similar arrangement occurs in some Sarcanthea, but I have seen 

 nothing like it in any other Eria. The pollinia are arranged in two 

 masses, each consisting of two unequal pairs of pollinia.
