 Orchid. 494; tall, slender, leaves petioled oblong subacute, scape and 

 elongate lax-fld. raceme and flowers laxly tomentose, bracts shorter than 

 the erect ovary, sepals oblong obtuse, petals broadly obliquely obovate 

 apiculate, lip cymbiform acute 5 -nerved, nerves with 1-2 soft spines 

 towards the base. Hook. f. Ic. Plant, ined. Goodyera ? elongata, Lindl. 

 Gen. & Sp. Orchid. 494. 



MALAY PENINSULA, Herb. Finlayson. 



Stem with scape and racemes 18 in., lower half leafy. Leaves 2-3 in., mem- 

 branous, lower obtuse ; petiole ^-f in., slender ; lower sheaths hyaline, inflated. 

 Scape with distant lanceolate sheaths ; raceme 4 iu. ; bracts in., lanceolate ; sepals 

 ^ in. long j lip superior, membranous, adnate to the sides of the column ; column 

 short, flat, without wings or membranes in front, as long as the sepals ; stigmatic 

 lobes lateral ; rostellar arms subulate ; anther ovate-cordate ; pollinia subglobose, 

 caudicles as long slender, gland rather large, oblong. 



6. K. elata, Hook.f. Ic. Plant ined. ; spike dense-fld., flowers minute, 

 lip minute hemispheric, base within with 2 large calli on each side and with 

 a thickened incurved transverse fold towards the apex which is tipped with 

 a small orbicular membranous appendage, column very short, anther 

 obtuse. 



PERAK, ScortecUni ; or Batang Padong, alt. 4900 ft., Wray. 



Habit of Goodyera procera, but petioles more slender, flowers rather smaller, 

 lateral sepals more acute, petals broader, denticulate, and lip very different ; column 

 very short and broad, with short distant subacute rostellar arms, and two marginal 

 stigmatic lobes. The structure of the fleshy lip which is only % in. long is difficult 

 to make out, it is no larger than the column. 



DOUBTFUL SPECIES. 



H. ANOMALA. Lindl. in Journ. Linn. Boc. i. 185 ; leaves ovate acute, spike few- 

 fid, and flowers hispidly' hairy, sepals ovate-oblong, petals linear-spathulate very 

 narrow, sac of lip with 2-3 cellular flattened crenate calli, terminal lobe transverse 

 white wings subquadrate. Goodyera, Griff. Notul. iii. 394. 



UPPEB ASSAM in the Tingree Tea forests, Griffith. 



A foot and a half high. Leaves petioled, 5-nerved. Suds posticous; bracts 

 ovate -lanceolate pubescent, longer than the ovary ; sepals greenish -brown, with white 

 tips, hispid with reflexed hairs ; lip continuous with the base of the short column, 

 which has a membranous tooth on each side, an anticous stigma, subulate rostellar 

 arms, and with a crested cellular process in front towards the centre ; anther ovate 

 fleshy ; pollinia narrow, slender, sectile, sessile on the lanceolate gland, grains elon- 

 gate scale-like. Description from Griffith, who adds a notice of deformities of the 

 column, the stigma being posticous, i.e. facing the anther, &c.
