 Scortechini. DISTRIB. Java. 



Stems 2-3 ft., naked extremities 4-8 in., sometimes branched. Leaves f- 1 in. 

 Flowers-^ in., arising from a small globose tuft of rigid bracts; sepals obtuse. 

 Griffith's D. micranthum is unquestionably D. Serra : the specimen he figures has lost 

 all of the naked end of the branch but the lowest node. 



48. D. acinaciforme, Roxb. Fl. Ind. iii. 487; leaves lanceolate, 

 flowers small, mentum as long as the rest of the flower, lip elongate- 

 cuneate, tip rounded crenulate. Griff, in Calc. Juurn. Nat. Hist. v. 

 370. 



ASSAM, Jenkins. KHASIA MTS., alt. 3-4000 ft. : at Nowgong, J. D. H. 8f T. T. ; 

 at Bhorlasa, Clarke. 



Stems 1-3 ft., with long naked extremities. Leaves l|-2 in. Floioers % in. 

 long, yellowish white; bracts minute; pedicel as long as the flower. Roxburgh 

 states this to have been sent to the Calcutta Garden from Amboyua, but- the 

 Khasia plant so perfectly agrees with his description and figure, that I suspect some 

 mistake. Lmdley, who had not seen Roxburgh's drawing, nor the then unpublished 

 3rd vol. of the Fl. Ind., doubtfully refers D. acinaciforme to Serra. 



** Flowers in terminal heads of many bracts. 



49. D. Leonis, Beiclib.f. in Walp. Ann. vi. 280; stout, leaves very 

 thickly coriaceous broadly ovate as broad as long obtuse, head of bracts 

 solitary fibrous, mentum very broad as long as the rest of the flower, lip 

 linear with involute margins and a rounded crenulate tip carunculate on.

Stem 6-10 in. Leaves f in. long and broad, not striated, margins thickened when 

 dry. Flowers shortly stoutly pedicelled, f in. long, dirty purplish and yellow (pale 

 citron tinted with claret, Wrdy}. A. indivisum, Blume (fid. Herb. Lindley), liu-^ 

 n.uch longer not thickened leaves, and a transverse lamina on the lip (like D. eulo- 

 photum) ; it is Cuming's 2068. 



^** Flowers in lateral or lateral and terminal heads of many 

 bract*.

 crenulate tip.

 in the Teuasserim specimens and in another drawing by Scortechini.
