ORCHIDACE^ 



about 4.1 mm. long, 5 mm. wide at the apex, obcordate, divided 

 to about the middle into two suborbicular subspreading lobules; 

 disc irregularly papillose-thickened, margins erose; spur about 

 5.5 mm. long, stout, cylindric, very sparsely hairy without. Col- 

 umn about 3-3.5 mm. long, stout, clavate, densely villous on the 

 upper part. 



This species is rather near Calanthe cuneata A. & S., from 

 which it differs in the slender raceme, smaller flowers and differ- 

 ent middle lobe of lip. It is unlike C. kinabaluensis Rolfe in its 

 longer scape, shorter racemes, smaller flowers and very villous 

 column.

7. Calanthe veratrifolia E. Br. in Bot. Reg. (1823) t. 720. 



Under this species are placed a large number of plants whose 

 flowers show the widest variation, the smaller forms very near 

 C. Gibbsiae Rolfe, but all clearly referable to this widely distrib- 

 uted and variable plant.
