smaller and forming a hood with the narrow acuminate petals, lateral 

 spreading. Lip adnate to the base of the column, contracted into an entire 

 toothed or pectinate claw beyond the saccate spurred base, and having two 

 rarely four terminal wing-like lobes ; spur exserted beyond the bases of 

 the sepals, and with 2 calli within. Column short, appendaged in front, 

 stigmatic lobes lateral ; anther 2-celled ; pollinia narrowed into short or 

 long caudicles. Species 8, Indian and Malayan. 



* Clww of lip deeply fimbriate. 



1. A. regralis, Blume Orchid. Arcliip. Ind. 46, t. 17 D ; spur as long 

 as the sepals, terminal lobes of the lip short quadrate much shorter than 

 the claw. A. setaceus, Lindl. in Bot. Reg. t. 2010 ; Gen. fy Sp. Orchid. 

 499 ; Bot. Mag. t. 5208 ; Fl. des Serres, ii. t. 15. Satyrium repens. Linn.

CEYLOIS ; ascending to 3000 ft. ' 



Stem 6-10 in. Leaves 1-1^ in., ovate-cordate, acute, usually dark velvety 

 green and netted with golden nerves. Scape stout or slender, sheaths 2 ; s"pike 

 3-5-fld.; bracts lanceolate; sepals ^ in. long, ovate, subacute, green; petals broadly 

 falcate, white ; fimbrise of white lip as long as the claw, spur inflated, tip subacute 

 notched ; column with 2 vertical lamellae in front. Without an examination of 

 living plants it is impossible to say whether Blume is correct in separating the Ceylon 

 from the original Javanese A. setaceus. Var. inornata, Hook. Bot. Mag. t. 5208 is 

 a variety with whole coloured coppery -purple leaves. 



2. A. Roxburghii, Lindl in Wall. Gat. 7387 ; Gen. & Sp. Orchid. 

 499 ; spur as long as the sepals, terminal lobes of lip cuneately obovate as 

 long as the claw. Blume Orchid. Arcliip. Ind. 50, t. 12 B, f. 2. Chryso- 

 baphus Eoxburghii, Wall. Tent. Fl. Nep. t. 27. 



TEOPICAL HIMALAYA ; from Simla to Bhotan. ASSAM, SILHET, and MUNNI- 

 PORE. DISTEIB. China. 



Very near A. regalis, and leaves similarly netted with golden nerves, and has a 

 variety (var. (B. Lo&fo'awa, Blume 1. c.), with nearly whole-coloured leaves which have 

 a rosy disk passing into yellowish-white. 



3. A. elatior, Lindl. in Journ. Linn. Soc. i. 178 ; very tall, spur of 

 lip as long as the sepals, base of claw hastate, terminal lobes of lip oblong 

 shorter than the claw fringes very long.

Leaves 1 in. diam., orbicular-ovate, shortly petioled. Scape 12 in.; spike 

 3-4 fld., bracts ^ in., broadly ovate -lanceolate ; flowers much larger than in A. Rox- 

 lurgTiii ; lip f in. long, fimbrise longer; spur inflated, tip subacute emarginate; 

 column larger, with a didymous large hatchet- shaped appendage in front; rostellum 

 long ; anther large, lanceolate, acuminate. The column differs a good deal from 

 that of regalis and Roxburghii. Only one specimen seen. 



4. A. Reinwardtii,.5Zwme Orchid. Archip. Ind. 48, t. 12, f. 2 ; spur 

 of lip nearly as long as the sepals, terminal lobes of lip falcately oblong, base
