Nearly allied to the Javan D. Booth, figured in Miquel’s ‘ Choix f 
(t. 24. f.2), which has larger flowers and fimbriate bracts. The side- 
lobes of the lip are sometimes almost acute. 
The figure of the plant is taken from the Chittagong drawing, 
which has longer leaves than the Singapore one, an oblong basal 
internodes. The figure of the flower is of the Singapore plant, which 
has longer stems, shorter leaves, and a globose basal pseudobulb. 
These may be different species—J. D. H.
