I know of no species at all like this. The specimens are far from 
good, and as with D. kentrochilum, Plate 2030, some allowance may 
mine the species with much confidence, and the resources of this work 
enable me to establish many of these with greater prospect of recog- 
nition than by the most careful Seseriutiok alone. In the fifth volume 
of ‘Flora of British India’ the name hymenanthum, which is pre- 
occupied, was by oversight applied to this plant. It is replaced by 
hymenopterum in the supplement to the Orchidew of the succeeding 
volume.—J. D. H.
