ORCHIDACE.E 



stemii brevissime adnatum; lobi laterales oblique triangulares, 

 acuminati, quam lobus medius minores, erecti; lobus medius 

 incrassatus triangularis, concaviusculus, valde acutus, incurvus, 

 circiter 2 mm. longus.Calcarobconicum,4mm. longum, subacu- 

 tum, leviter bilobum, septatum, callo conspicuo carnoso bilobo 

 in pariete postico. Gynostemium 1.5 mm. longum; stipes linearis 

 circiter 1 mm. longus. 



Allied with Sarcanthus subulatus Reichb. f. What appears to 

 be the same species comes from Palawan (C. M. Weber 602). In 

 the dried state the leaves of the specimens collected by Weber 

 are uniformly flat and lack the terete aspect which is possessed 

 by some of the dried specimens I have examined. In both series 

 of specimens the leaves are more or less subulate, and fragile, 

 near the tip. The sac of the lip is not unlike that of S. subulatus 

 Reichb. f. from Java. 



A very characteristic representation of this species appeared 

 on plate 103, fig. 14, of Petiver's Gazophylacium. This figure was 

 taken from one of the Camelli specimens described in the third 

 volume of Ray's Historia Plantarum. 



For a sketch of Lindley's type at Kew I am indebted to Sir 

 David Prain. This sketch leaves no room for doubt regarding 

 the species Lindley described under Cleisostoma dealbatum in the 

 Botanical Register of 1843. A colored sketch of a single flower 

 shows the sepals and petals yellow stained with a brownish-red 

 color, and the labellum white, tinged with pale magenta on the 

 front.
