PENANG, Porter. 



Stem as thick as a crow-quill ; internodes | in. Leaves rather rigid, channelled, 

 margins recurved. Flowers % in. from the tip of the dorsal sepal to that of the lip. 

 Lindley's Wallichian specimen was flowerless, and as the stem precisely resembles 

 that of D. nutans, he referred the latter to villosulum.

SINGAPORE, Lobb. 



** Lower internodes of stem tuberous or fusiform. Jlfentum equalling or 

 exceeding the lateral sepals. 



73. D. tuberiferum, Hook. f. ; leaves short coriaceous oblong 

 obtuse, margins recurved, flowers small hyaline 1-2 at the nodes of the 

 leafless ends of the stems very shortly pedicelled, dorsal sepal oblong, petals 

 narrower lanceolate falcate ciliate, mentum cyliudric straight obtuse twice 

 as long as the lateral sepals, lip obcordate with a minute ciliate lobe 

 between the rounded side lobes and a truncate raised ridge in front. 



PERAK, Scortechini (drawing only). SINGAPORE, from Guning Hijan, Murton- 

 ?CHITTAGONG (Ic. Hort. Calculi.}. 



Stem 12-18 in., often branched ; internodes J-J in., basal tuber globose or fusiform. 

 Leaves l|-2 in. Flowers - in. long, veins and cross-venules slender. Scortechini's 

 drawing represents the lateral sepals as rounded and midlobe of lip as ovate ; in the 

 Singapore specimens the former are acute, and the latter linear and longer. Very near 

 D. Boothii, Teijsm. & Binnend. (Miquel Choix, t. 24, f. 2), which has larger flowers 

 and fimbriate bracts. 



74. D. podagraria, HooJc.f. ; leaves linear-oblong or linear obtuse or 

 emarginate, flowers small solitary on bracteate tubercles at the upper nodes 

 or leaf axils, dorsal sepal lanceolate, petals narrow oblong-lanceolate 3-nerved, 

 inentum longer than the ovate uncinate 7-nerved lateral sepals stout 

 incurved obtuse, lip obcordate from a narrow base, side lobes rounded, 

 midlobe small rounded, sinus with a plate and caruncle. D. angulatum,
