Hab. Malay Peninsula, Father Scortechini. 

 m A remarkable species, unlike any other, but somewhat resembling 

 E. carinata in the robust habit and equitant sheaths of the leaves, 



very peculiar, the side lips 'being directed inwards towards 

 midlobe forming a large sinus, and embracing the latter, 

 into the seetioS HytSmeria, which is a very heteromorphous a™ , 

 were it densely tomeutose or woolly, it would be referred to section 

 Dendrolirion.—J. D. Hooker.
