perfect. Sonder distinguishes his two species chiefly hy the form of tlip calyx-lobes, vlnVh 

 are certainly in some sj)eL'iinens broad aud very obtuse, in others narrow and almost acute, 

 but there are many intermediates. In both, the labellum is said in the diagnosis to be inap- 

 pendiculate, in the description to be appeudiculate. I have not found any appcudagc to liic 

 labellum, but small, glandular ones to the throat. 



63. S, emarginatum, Bond, in PL Preiss. i. 383, A smnll, slender 



plant, with the little, brown, bulbous stock and smallj petiolate, radical Jeavcs 

 of S, petiolare, but readily known by a minute whorl of 8 or 4 leaves hdo\r 

 the inflorescence. The scape, 2 to 3 in. high, bears usually only 1 or 2 

 flowers, and is more glandular than in S. petiolare, the calyx and corolla very 

 nearly as in that species, of which this one may prove to be a variety only ; 

 the lobes of the corolla are, however, said to be more deeply emarginate.

64. S. corymbosum, R, Br, Prod, 571- Glabrous, except a few 

 glandular hairs on the inflorescence. Stock densely tufted. Leaves radical, 

 ilr^ear, sometimes rather broad, rigid and incurved as in S. pillfenfm, rarely 

 above f m. long, terminating in a fine^ almost hair-like point. Scape leaf- 

 less, 3 to 6 in. high, bearing a dense, more or less compoimd corymb. 

 Bracts small, rather thick, ovate or oblong as in iS'. guttatuiUy but not pro- 

 duced below their insertion, and sometimes narrow. Ylo'wtTS sessile or 

 nearly so. Calyx about 3 lines long, the lobes free, rather broad, very 

 obtuse, scarcely half as long as the tube. Corolla-tube stort, the throat 

 without appendages, the labellum naiTOW, acuminate, ciliate and appendicu- 

 late. Capsule rather broadly linear, contracted at the top but not beaked, 4 

 to 5 lines long.— DC. Prod. vii. 333.

Var. ? proliferum. Stock more or less proliferous. — Kocks of Mount Ferongernp, F. 

 Mueller, The specimens are not quite in flower, but probably belong to this species. 



65. S. lepidum, F. MuelL Rerh. Glabrous, except the slightly glan- 

 dular-pubescent or hirsute inflorescence. Stock tufted. Leaves radical, 

 linear, narrow but flat, with a short, fine point, | to | in. long. Scape leaf- 

 less, slender, almost filiform, 2 to 3 in. long, bearing a small cyme of 3 to 5 

 flowers, rarely reduced to a single flower. Bracts small, linear, mucronulate. 

 Flowers sessfle or nearly so, like those of *S'. corymhomm, but the calyx-lobes 

 narrower. Capsule narrow-oblong, 3 or rarely 4 lines long.

Stock densely tufted or rarely shortly proliferous, or at length \ to l^in. Ion 

 telow the tuft of leaves. Leaves radical, narrow-linear, 1 to 2 in. long, 

 usually mucronate. Scapes several, divaricately branched from ^ below the 

 niiddle, forming a broad, more or less corymbose panicle, 6 to 8 in. high, in 

 the smaller specimens reduced to a small/few-flowered cyme. JBracts small.
