divaricate, the longer sometimes 1 in. long. Flowers in. diam. ; perianth strongly 

 incurved. Capsule |-f in. United with 8. calceolare by Lindley (in Journ. Linn. 

 Soc.), but I think as different as any other of this section.

Usually a larger plant than the small states of S. calceolare, with longer stems 

 (4-8 in.) and larger leaves, 4-6 by f-1^ in. broad, never 2-fld., but very variable. 

 Perianth whole-cold, and yellowish red, or more yellow or greenish and mottled with 

 brown ; lip white, centre yellow often speckled with red. Capsule in Siklum sp. 

 3 in. long. Paxton's S. denticulatum has greenish yellow flowers speckled with 

 brown, and the lip is described as erose. Lindley refers it to S. acutifolium. The lip 

 of the Bot. M;ig. plant, apparently derived from the same source, is not erose, but with 

 a broad thick white fringe of long papillae. 



23. S. intermedium, Griff, mss. ex. Lindl. in Journ. Linn. Soc. iii. 

 33; stem rather long, leaves very narrow acuminate or 2-toothed, blade of 

 lip fimbriate, disk smooth. Reichb. f. Otia Hamburg. 42. S. calceolare,

 J. D. H. # T. T. 



Perhaps a small form of S. acutifolium, but the stem is more slender, the leaves 

 narrower, and the flowers and capsules (| in.) much smaller. 



24. S. bellinum, Reichb. f. in Gard. Chron. 1844, i. 174 ; 187, i. 



145 ; stem rather long, leaves deeply unequally cleft, bracts and flowers 

 large, blade of lip erose disk echinate and with cushions of cilia at the 

 base. Warner Orchid. Alb. t. 156; Bot. Mag. t. 7142. 



BURMA, Boxall. 



This resembles a large state of S. calceolare, the flowers are 1-lf in. diam., 

 bright yellow with large purple blotches. 



25. S. obliquum, Lindl. in Wall. Cat: 7304 ; Gen. < Sp. Orchid. 

 223 ; in Journ. Linn. Soc. iii. 33 ; stem very short stout, leaves broad and long 

 unequally broadly 2-fid, bracts and flowers large, blade of lip fimbriate, 

 disk papillose with a large 2-lobed callus. Reichb. f. Otia Hamburg. 42. 

 Vanda obliqua, Wall, mss. 



BURMA ; at Taingdong, Wallioh. ? KHASIA HILLS, J. D. H. $f T. T. 



Leaves 6-8 by 1-2 in. ; flowers 1 in. diam. ; sepals and petals narrow, whole-cold., 

 all (in Ic. Wallich) pale yellow, with the lip white speckled with yellow. The 

 Khasia specimens have the shorter leaves of bigibbum. 



26. S. big-ibbum, Reichb. f. in Hot. Mag. 't. 5766 ; Otia Hamburg. 

 43; stem very short, leaves oblong or obovate-oblong 2-fid, bracts small, 

 blade of lip fimbriate, disk smooth with a large 2-lobed callus. 



RANGOON, Benson, Gilbert. PERAK, Scortechini. 



Probably a small state of S. obliquum, but the leaves are shorter and broader, 

 3-4 by 1-1 j in., and the large bracts seem to be wanting. Flowers whole -cold., 

 pale straw-cold, in a drawing by Mr. Gilbert, bright yellow in Bot. Mag. 



27. S. acaule, Hook f. ; stem very short, leaves unequally 2-lobed, 

 sepals obovate, limb of lip broadly ovate acute toothed and erose, disk rough
