62 CXLVIII. ORCHIDE^E. (J. D. Hooker.) [Saccolalivm. 



thickened. Cleisostoma acaulis, Lindl. Gen. & Sp. Orchid. 227. Yanda 

 fimbriata, Gardn. mss. 



CEYLON, Macrae ; at Hantani, Gardner. 



Leaves 5-6 by -i iu. Peduncle and pedicels very short, 1 in , stout ; flowers 

 in. diam., apparently very fleshy. Possibly a form of S.n'dagiricum, but the leaves 

 and lip appear to be very different. The specimens are very scanty and poor. 



Sect. III. ACAMPE. (See p. 54.) 



The species of this section are very difficult of discrimination in a dried state, 

 and the following diagnoses and citation are not very reliable, owing to imperfection 

 of specimens and vagueness of published descriptions. (See two species at the end of 

 the genus.) 



* Peduncle rather slender; flowers in large panicles. Spur of lip 

 cylindric ; midlobe ovate.

Stem 1-2 ft. Leaves 7-9 by 1-1-i in. Panicle longer or shorter than the leaves, 

 branches distant lax-fld. ; flowers - i- in. diam. ; midlobe of lip ovate, crenate, 

 2-auricled and with fleshy teeth at the base ; spur cylindric, as long as the limb, 

 hairy within. Capsule l-l- in., fusiform. Beutham in Gen. Plant, iii. 581, misled 

 by a mixture of specimens of different species, errs in referring S. lineolatum to 

 Cleisostoma maculosum ; it is clearly this plant. 



** Peduncle very stout, simple or very sparingly branched. Lip a 

 hemispheric or conic sac, midlobe reniform. 



29. S. long-ifoliuxn, Hook. /.; leaves 6-16 in., peduncle 6-7 in.,
