SPECIES UNKNOWN TO ME, AND AN ERRATUM. 



D. ACROBATICUM, Eeichb.f. in Gard. Chron. 1871, 802 ; stems with stalked bulbs 

 on the opposite sides, leaves oblong-ligulate, racemes lateral few-fld. at the top, 

 flowers yellowish, sepals ligulate obtuse, petals oblong with a bigibbous callus at the 

 base within, lip rhombic obtuse-angled, claw with a transverse callus, disk minutely 

 velvety, column hatchet-shaped on each side. TENASSERIM (Hort. Veitch). 

 Reichenbach says of this, " Near D. pofi/anthuw, Lindl.," but Lindley's poly- 

 anthum is a very doubtful plant, and not Wallioh's. Of the growth he says, ' One 

 stalked bulb comes out of the side of the first, and the third very high up on the 

 opposite side." 



D. AURANTIACUM, Reichb. f. in Gard. Chron. 1887, ii. 98. I regret having 

 omitted to compare D. chryseum, Knife (p. 748, No. 14f>', with Keichenbuch's 

 previously published description of am-a-nfincurn, of which there are no specimens at, 

 Kew. I have now done so with Mr. Rolfc, and we are convinced that the name 

 chryseum must give place to aurantiacum, Keiclib. f. 



D. CREPIDATUM, Griff. Notul. iii. 319 (not ofLindl.). Of Griffith's description 

 Lindley rightly says, in Jottrn. Linn. Soc. iii. 21, " It is so confused and self-contra- 

 dictory that I have not been able to identify the species." 



D. PLORIBUNDUM, Don Prodr. 34 ; stem few-leaved, leaves linear nerved very 

 finely serrulate, scape 6-12 in. longer than the leafing stems sheathed mauy-fld., 

 flowers rose-cold., sepals liugulate obtuse flat, base elongate, petals oval-obiong, lip
