In tbe ' Flora of British India ' I have followed Blume in removing 

 Gyrtopera from Cyrtopodium, and placing it under Eiilophia ^as a 

 eection, characterised bj the column having a foot, and the insertion of 

 the lateral sepals on the raentum or spur of tbe lip. F. Mannii was 

 referred to Gyrtopera bj Reichenbach, but, as I can find no trace of 

 such insertion of the lateral sepals, I am obliged to refer it to Fulophia 

 proper. Its affinity is certainly with E, ;pratensis, Lindl., and macro^ 

 stachya, Lindl. ; bnt it differs from these and all others of the group to 

 which these belong in the very narrow leaves, as well as in characters 



of the lip.— J. D. H.
