know /. tcnella (Ic. PI. Ind. Or. p. 32). Upon the whole, I am disposed to separate the 

 varieties as Allows : 



VAR. 1. inconspiciia proper; stem 4-8 in. usually more robust, leaves ovate or ovate- 

 lanceolate petiolate strongly serrate, peduncles usually short. I. inconspicua, IViyht Ic. 

 t. '.'70. 



VAR. 2. pwdlla; smaller, lower leaves more or less petioled lanceolate and serrate, 

 upper longer narrow subbcssile remotely serrate. I. pusilla, Heyne in Wall. Cat. 

 474*). 



\ AR. 3. filiformis; slender and much branched, leaves subsessile very long slender 

 ren otely serrate the lower sometimes petioled and lanceolate. I. filiformis, 1C. 

 JTrodr. 140 (a small few-iloweivd form). 



\'AH. 4. ratnoxis-n'iHrt : robust, much branched, leaves uniform short sessile oblong 

 obiuse at both ends, lip with a very minute spur. /. ran>o*ixxi'iti(i, Dalz. in Hook. Kew 

 Journ. Bot. iii. 230. 



19. I. oppositifolia, Linn.; erect, leaves subsessile narrow-linear 



elonirate remotely serrate, nr tin- lower oldong or linear-oblong and petioled, 

 stipules subulate, pedicels quite glabrous, sepals linear acuminate, -wings 

 with a broadly-obovate clawed terminal lobe and a small lateral one, lip 

 conical ending in a short stout incurved spur. Wiyht Ic. t. r^:j ; M'. ,( A.

 nearly allied to /. opuositifohti, with which 1 have confound' d it in .lotirn. l>inn. Soc.; 

 but the character of the 2 small lateral falcate recurved lateral lobes on each wing, is very 

 rcnnrkable. I describe them from Wallich's figure, and assume Lobb's plant to be the 

 Kftine, a point which can only be determined from Hying specimens. 



21. I. Lawii, II. f. rf* T. in Journ. Linn. Soc. iv. 122; erect, much
