72. E. ferrugrinea, Lindl. in Sot. Reg. 1839, t. 35; in Jonrn. Linn. 

 Sue. iii. 57 ; brown-tomentose, rhizome stout, branches short 2-leaved, 

 leaves lanceolate thickly coriaceous, scapes from the bases of the branches, 

 bracts large, flowers coriaceous, lateral sepals very broad 9-nerved, petals 

 obovate-oblong, hypochile broad saccate shortly clawed, lobes small, epichile 

 short crisped, disk with large toothed crests. Walp. Ann. vi. 274. 



KHASIA and JYNTEA HILLS, alt. 4000 ft., Griffith, &c. 



Rhizome as thick as a swan's quill, jointed, young sheathed. Leaves 5-8 in., 

 acuminate, base narrowed. Scape 4-6 in., base sheathed ; raceme 3-5 in., rachis 

 stout ; bracts 1 in. and less, lanceolate ; flowers 1 in.diam., white ; lip pink ; column 

 short, stout. Referred to sect. Trichotosia by Lindley. 



73. E. pannea, Lindl. in Bot.Eey. 1842, Misc. 64; in Jburn. Linn. 

 Soc. iii. 50 ; stems very short 1-4-leaved from a creeping rootstock, leaves

 rather long obtuse, lip oblong obtuse thick concave with an oblong granu- 

 late callus at the base and near the tip. Walp. Ann.vi. 273. ? E. tereti-

 MALACCA, on Mount Ophir, Lobb. SINGAPORE, Sort. Lodd. DISTRJB. Borneo. 



Rhizome as thick as a crow-quill; stems woolly, sometimes forming small globose 

 pseudobulbs. Leaves 1-10 in. by - i in. diam., often pustulate. Scape 2-3 in. ; 

 tiower sessile ; lateral sepals in. long ; column very short. Griffith's teretifolia 

 from Malacca, together with the Pera'k and Singapore plants, may be different 

 from the Sikkim and Khasia ones, the former having narrow lanceolate and the 

 latter broadly ovate bracts. 



74. E. Pleurothallis, Par. Sf JZeichl. f. in Trans. Linn. Soc. xxx.

 by imbricating reticulately nerved sheaths -coriaceous petioled linear-

 filiform and very small solitary flower woolly, sepals in. long broad 

 obtuse 3-nerved, petals narrow 1-3-nerved, lip with a broad claw orbicular,

 eusiforui, mature 22^ in. tScape much shorter ; bract under the flower small, mem- 

 branous, sheathing ; mentum large, rounded ; column very short. 



75. E. pygmaea, Hook. f. Ic. Plant, ined. ; size habit and inflores-

 lateral sepals ^ in. ovate 5-nerved, petals elliptic-oblong 5-nerved, lip very 

 narrow, claw narrowly cuneate, side lobes short oblong obtuse, midlobe 

 ellipsoid: 



PEEAK, Wray. 



At first I was disposed to ?egard this as a large-fld. state of E. Pleurotliallis 

 but the differences in the flowers are too great. 



76. E. lancifolia, Hook. f. Ic. Plant, ined. stems 1-2 in. tufted, 

 pseudobulbs small appearing after flowering fleshy loosely sheathed, leaves 

 1-3 terminal petioled elliptic-lanceolate thin plicate, spikes from the side of 

 the stem slender laxly many-fld. and ovary white-woolly,, flowers small, 

 lateral sepals & in- triangular ovate 5-nerved, mentum rounded, petals
