TKAVANCORE; on the Pulney Mts. ?, Wight. CEYLON; Hantaui, alt. 3000 ft., 

 Thwaites. 



Habit and size of flower, according to Liudley's figure, of T. latifolia, but leaf 

 much smaller and described as fleshy. Wight's represents a much larger plant, with 

 sepals 1 in. long ; his description of the lij> lamella? differs so greatly from what he 

 figures that no reliance can be placed on either. Thwaites, however, refers it to 

 bicornis. According to Lindley and Thwaites, the Ceylon plant is more or less purple. 

 Lindley figures the flower as green and reddish, the lip and column yellow spotted 

 with red. I have seen no Ceylon specimen or flower of the Travancore plant. 



7. T. khasiana, Hook. f. Ic. Plant, ined. ; leaf-blade longer than 

 the stout petiole, scape tall, sepals f in. linear obtuse and broader oblong 

 obtuse petals 3-nerved, mentum shortly conic obtuse, lip cuneately obovate, 

 side lobes rounded at the tip, midlobe much broader than long apiculate, 

 disk with a slender mid-nerve and two narrow lamellae all vanishing in the 

 midlobe, anther hemispheric with a dorsal boss. 



KM ASIA HILLS ; below Churra, alt. 3000 ft., J. Z>. H. $ T. T. 



Leaf 8 by 2 in., on a fusiform pseudobulb 3 in. long with a neck 1 in. long. 

 Scape with long raceme 2 ft. ; pedicel with ovary shorter than the sepals ; bracts 

 equalling the pedicel. Only one specimen seen ; it resembles Wight's figure of 

 Ania latifolia (T. bicornis) more than any other species, but wants the 2 conical 

 horns of the anther. 



8. T. minor, Hook. f. Ic. Plant, ined.; leaf -blade 3-5 in. much 

 longer than the petiole, scape and few-fld. raceme 8-12 in. very slender, 

 sepals linear obtuse and rather broader petals 3-nerved, mentum very short, 

 lip caneate-obovate, side lobes subacute, disk with a central thickened nerve 

 and two broad IsimellsB reaching the base of the orbicular crenate midlobe 

 which has 3-5 narrow ridges, anther with 2 conic obtuse bosses. 



SIKKIM HIMALAYA ; at Mahalderam, alt. 7000 ft,, Clarke. 



Pseudobulb very slender, 1-2 in. Leaf l|-2 in. broad, very membranous, nerves 

 very slender ; petiole 2-3 in. Scape with a narrow sheath 2 in. long below the mid- 

 dle ; bracts J in.; pedicel with ovifry % in., very slender; sepals in.; column 

 slender, narrowly winged ; 4 of the pollinia very small. 



9. T. hastata, Hook. f. Ic. Plant. Ined. ; scape very slender, raceme 

 long many- and small-tid., bracts filiform as long as the ovary, sepals in. 

 linear acuminate and subequal petals 3-nerved, mentum rather long obtuse, 

 lip oblong-obovate, side lobes subacute, disk with a central nerve and two 

 broad lamellee reaching the base of the rather fan-shaped apiculate midlobe 

 which has 3 narrow ridges, anther, hemispheric smooth. Eulophia hastata, 

 Li u(f/. in Jonrit. Linn. tioc. iii. 25.. 



r, Jfasters, Gri/itli. 



Scape (base wanting) 2 ft. 6 to 3 ft. Raceme 5-7 in., dense-fld. ; bracts and 

 pedicels -j\ j- in.; column very slender, narrowly winged; 4 pollinia very small. 

 Lindley savs of this (under Eulophia} that it is the smallest-flowered of the aphyllous 

 species', and that the hastate lip is unlike that of any other. The pollen shows it to 

 be a Tain'ut, of which the leaves, rootstock, and base of scape are unknown. 



10. T. maculata. Hook. f. ; pseudobulb conic, leaf lanceolate deli- 

 cately nerved, scape 2 ft., sepals and petals pale green lanceolate acute, 

 si>i>;ils with 4 petals with lines of purple spots, mentum short cylindric
