EulophiaJ] CXLVIII. ORCHIDEA\ (J. D. Hooker.) 3 



UPPER BUEMA ; at Maypongo, Serb. Hort. C(*lcutt. 



Tuber globose. Stem 4-6 in. Leaves 2, linear-lanceolate, acuminate. Scape with 

 the raceme 18 in. ; sheaths 2, acuminate ; raceme 6-8-fld. ; bracts f-1 in., mem- 

 branous, linear-lanceolate, subspathaceous ; flowers 1 in. diarn. ; lateral sepals inserted 

 at the base of the column ; lip shorter than the sepals ; hypochile obovate, as long as 

 the rather narrower epichile ; spur short, cylindric ; column rather long. 



6. E. bracteosa, Lindl. in Wall. Cat. 7366 ; Gen. fy Sp. Orchid. 180 ; 

 in Journ. Linn. Soc. iii. 23 ; bracts very long, sepals oblong, tip rounded, 

 petals broadly obovate very many-nerved, lip narrowly obovate-oblong, 

 obscurely 3-lobed, disk with 5-crenulate veins. E. grandiflora, Lindl. 

 Gen. $ Sp. Orchid. 181. 



KHASIA HILLS ; on the north slopes, alt. 3-4000 ft., J. D. H. $ T. T. 

 CHITTAGONG, Wallich. TENASSERIM, alt. 3500 ft., Parish. 



Stem 4-6 in., sheathed. Leaves 1-3, 10-18 in., linear-lanceolate, petioled, 

 3-nerved. Scape stout, shorter than the leaves, clothed with long sheaths ; raceme 

 short, few-fld. ; flowers fleshy; bracts 1-1^ in. ; sepals f in., yellow ; lip white or 

 lilac, streaked; spur short, obtuse. Capsule 1 in. Lindley's habitat of Ceylon for 

 grandiflora is no doubt an error. 



7. IS. elata, Hook. f. ; bracts equalling the ovaries, sepals falcate 

 lanceolate acuminate 5-nerved, petals elliptic-lanceolate obtuse strongly 

 5-nerved, lip narrowly ovate-oblong obtuse entire, disk with 3 slender 

 moniliform nerves. 



PERAK, Scortechini, 2023. 



Leaves 12-14 in., petioled, elongate, linear-lanceolate. Scape 3| ft., very stout 

 below, sheaths appressed ; raceme elongate, lax-fld. ; bracts J- in. ; sepals as long, 

 fleshy ; lip equalling the sepals ; spur a small sac j column short, stout, hooded ; 

 young fruit 2 in., deflexed. 



8. E. explanata, Lindl. Gen. Sf Sp. Orchid. 180 ; bracts shorter 

 than the ovary, sepals oblong-ovate subacnte and broader elliptic petals 

 5-nerved, lip subpanduriform, base saccate with spreading nerves, disk with 

 two thick crenate lamellae, midrib greatly thickened and caruncled towards 

 the truncate emarginate tip. Dipodium scariosum, Herb. Ham. 



NEPAL ; at Maghada, in the Morung, Hamilton. NORTH-WEST INDIA 

 (Ic. Falconer). 



Leaves very young at the flowering time, surrounded at the base, along with 1 or 

 2 scapes, with short broad ^-1 in. long sheaths. Scape 4-8 in., rather stout, 10-12-fld. ; 

 bracts -- in. ; pedicels with ovary f in. ; perianth yellow and purplish, spreading, 

 |-| in. diam. ; lip sessile, base adnate to the lateral sepals; sac or spur broadly 

 conical, obtuse ; column very short.' An anomalous species. Lindley's specimens 

 being counterparts of Hamilton's, his Ceylon habitat is doubtless an error. 



Lip broader than long, side lobes short or 0. 



9. E. obtusa, Hook.f.; bracts equalling the ovaries, sepals oblong- 

 lanceolate acute 7-nerved and broadly elliptic obovate obtuse many-nerved 

 petals tessellate, lip clawed 3-lobed, side lobes rounded, midlobe much longer 

 oblong, disk with 2 lobed calli at the rnouth of the spur and 3-5 thickened 

 nerves ending in calli within the apex, claw with a reniforni callus on each 

 side. Cyrtopera obtusa, Lindl. Gen. <$f Sp. Orchid. 190. 



NORTH -WEST INDIA; on the banks of the Tonse river, Roylc. 

 Leaves 12 in., narrowly ensiform. Scape very tall; raceme elongate, lax-fld. ; 

 bracts ^-^ in., ovate-lanceolate, acuminate ; sepals f in. ; petals rather shorter, but
