ORCHIDACEiE 



valde obtusa, vix 7 mm. longa, circiter 3 mm. lata. Labellum un- 

 guiculatum, a latere compressum, hypochilio in calcar compres- 

 sum, clavellatum, antice producto, basi bibrachiatum, brachiis 

 erectis, falcatis, obtusis, pubescentibus, 2 mm. longis; epichilii 

 lobulis duobus dentiformibus calcari impositis. Unguis pubes- 

 cens. Saccus obtusus, pubescens, 3 mm. longus. Gynostemium 

 2 mm. longum. 



The labellum suggests Sarcochilus suaveolens Hook. f. It is 

 minutely pubescent with the exception of the underneath sur- 

 face of the elongated claw. The very different sac distinguishes it 

 from S. longicalcarus Ames and Rolfe.

8. Sarcochilus pallidus Reichb. f. in Walp. Ann. 6 : 500. Cf. 

 Orchidace^e 2 : 253 for synonymy. In Petiver's Gazophylacium

 is represented, and was taken from Camelli's plant from Luzon 

 to which reference is made in Ray's Historia Plantarum.
