214 NEW MALAYAN ORCHIDS. 



Columna crassiuscula. Anthera pro flore magna cordata. Capsula 

 ^ pollicis longa hispida, periantliio marcido coronata. 



Selaugor, at Ulu Langat (J. Goodenoiujh). 



This is the smallest species of this section known to me, very 

 distinct in its slender stems with linear leaves and exceedingly 

 small flowers. The whole plant is covered with soft woolly grey 

 hairs, except the petals, lip, and column. The racemes, apparently 

 extra-axillary, are very slender and flexuous, bearing from four to 

 six exceedingly small flowers, which resemble in form those of the 

 other species of the genus, but the mentum formed by the base of 

 the lower sepals is hardly visible, and the lip is quite entire. 



Claderia viridiflora Hook. fil. I met with this plant in the 

 woods of the Bongaya river, in Labuk Bay, North-east Borneo. This 

 is the most eastern locality for this plant yet known. 



CcELOGYNE PANDURATA Lindl. I find this very common in Selan- 

 gor, growing on trees overhanging streams at Eawang, Kwala Kubu, 

 and elsewhere. 



C. ASPERATA Lindl. I saw great plenty of large plants of this in 

 Sumatra on trees by the Mandau river near Siak, Sumatra. 



Calanthe Cecilia Echb. fil. Abundant in the Avoods at the foot 

 of the limestone rocks at Gua Batu, Selangor. The colouring of the 

 flowers varies from nearly pure white to violet. I have received 

 plants from Indragiri, in Sumatra, exactly similar to those of 

 Selangor, but of a darker violet. 



C. vESTiTA Lindl. I found a single plant of this in flower in a 

 hole of a tree on the top of the limestone rocks at Gua Batu, 

 Selangor. It was in flower in December. The species, well known 

 from Tenasserim and Borneo, has not hitherto been found in the 

 Malay Peninsula. 



C. ? GiGANTEA Hook. fil. Flor. Brit. Ind. v. 856. A specimen of 

 this plant, collected by Mr. Wray in Perak and sent me by Dr. 

 King, proves to be Plocoglottis fcetida Ridl. 



Bromheadia aporoides Rchb. fil. Mandau river, near Siak, 

 Sumatra ; not previously recorded for this island. 



EuLOPHiA SQUALIDA Lindl. Not uncommon near Sandakan, 

 British North Borneo.

 lanceolata falcata obtusa obliqua, coriacea, 2 pollices longa, t pol- 

 licis lata. Eacemus brevis, f pollicis longus, rachide incrassato
