Rostellum elongatum gracile acuminatum. Capsula triquetra, 

 If pollicis longa. 



Selangor. On trees at the limestone rocks near Kwala 

 Lumpor. 



This is a rather remarkable little plant with exactly the habit of 

 a Denclrocolla, but with flowers at first sight resembling those of 

 some AngrcEcum. The lip is very peculiar in having two large 

 spreading lateral lobes, obliquely obovate, between which there is a 

 small ovate inconspicuous terminal lobe. At the base of this is the 

 entrance to the spur, which is edged with an elevated yellow ridge, 

 and at the base are two red dots. The spur is long, narrow, and 

 club-shaped. The column short and broad, with a very large 

 transversely oval stigma. It is difficult to refer the plant to any 

 genus, as it differs in the floral characters from any Saccolabium. 

 known to me, and though the habit is that of Dendrocolla, the 

 absence of any foot to the column and the long spur are against 

 referring it to that genus. At present it is perhaps best placed under 

 Saccolabium.

Singapore, at Chua Chu Kang ; Aug. 6. 



A small plant with dull inconspicuous flowers in a secund 

 raceme. The lip possesses two side lobes, between which is a 

 saccate portion leading to the curved rather thick spur which has a 

 small callus in the mouth. The mid-lobe is narrow at the base, 

 with a thick apex, the sides of which are turned up and papillose ; 

 beneath it is a short blunt process. The anther has a long linear 

 flat beak, notched at the end, very large in proportion to the rest of 

 the anther. The pollinia are chiefly remarkable for the long disc 

 much larger than the pedicel, much after the style of that of 

 S. perpusillum Hook. fil.
