Pseudobulbs of one many -grooved internode 1-1| in. long, sessile or stipitato. 

 Leaves f-| in., coriaceous, sessile. Flowers 1 in. long, white ; pedicel shorter ; 

 lateral sepals 7-nerved ; lip with an obscurely caruncled yellow horse-shoe, spot at 

 the base of the lobes. Roxburgh's description of this has been mixed np with that of 

 an JZria in Fl. Ind., doubtless through au error of a transcriber or printer; his 

 drawing is excellent. 



11. 3>. quadrangrulare, Parish mss. psendobulbs narrowly clavate 

 acutely 4-angled stipitate, leaves linear-oblong, flowers faecicled. D. 

 pumilum, Par. <$f Reichb.f. in Trans. Linn. Soc. xxx. 150, t. 31. 



TENASSERIM ; at Moulmein, Griffith, Parish. 



Parish considered this to be different from D. pumilum, and his drawing seems to 

 confirm it ; the deeply 4-grooved terminal internode or pseudobulb 1^-2 3- in. long 

 and i in. broad, preserves its 4-angled character from its earliest stage (when only 

 .V in. long) ; it is supported on a stipes of 2-3 slender internodes. The flowers are 

 quite like D. pumilum.

Eootstock creeping, annulate ; stems pendulous, 2-3 ft. ; branches ending in 

 fusiform pseudobulbs 2-2 \ in. long. Leaves 4-8 in., sessile. Flowers f-1 in. long, 

 white; pedicels f-1 in.; bracts basal, sheathing; side lobes of lip sprinkled with 

 red, midlobe variable. I find no characters whereby to distinguish the species 

 included above under D. Macraei. Thwaites says of the Ceylon plant "leaves 

 usually 2-nate," but I have never seen more than one in any specimen or 

 drawing. 



13. D. lonchophyllum, Hook. f. ; leaf linear-lanceolate acuminate, 

 flower subsolitary, dorsal sepal ovate-oblong acute, petals linear- oblong, 

 mentum as long as the rest of the flower upcurved, side lobes of lip 

 triangular acute many-nerved, midlobe with a short undulate limb and two 

 oblong divaricate rounded lobes, disk not crested or ridged.

Stem s slender ; pseudobulbs 1-1 in., fusiform. Leaves 3-5 in., base cuneate. 

 Flowers $ in. long, nerves and cross nervules very slender. Lip cuneate. Column 

 with incurved subulate tips; anther with a very long stipes. Closely resembles the 

 drawing of a Javan plant in Herb. Liudl.
