yellow in the centre, veined with red brown ; a third form has 3 sessile elliptic leaves 

 2-2| in. long, and a very stout 3-4-fld. scape, the flowers are straw coloured, finely 

 lined with dull pink ; a fourth form from a lower elevation has leaves l-2 in., and 

 a slender 2-fld. scape, the flowers are large white. The breadth of the midlobe of the 

 lip in this species varies from almost orbicular- ovate to dagger-shaped. The sheaths 

 of the rhizome and pseudobulb are very membranous, red-brown. 



10. D. PTJMILUM. " Common at Singapore, with flowers yellow or cream 

 coloured ; lip with a dark spot at the tip, or veined with red. The two forms look 

 totally different, but I can find no structural difference. I never saw so many 

 flowers in a head as in D. quadrangulare." Ridley in Hit.

P. 724. 52. D. ATROPUBPCTBEUM. " I think that the yellow fld. D. carnosum 

 is distinct. D. atropurpureum is smaller, shabbier-looking, and the flowers dark 

 claret-coloured as in Blume's drawing." Ridley in litt. 



P. 725. After Sect. VII. STEONGYLE. Dele " Flowers terminal." 



59. D. KENTBOPHYLLTTM. Add Ic. Plant, t. 2021, and in line 2 for flowers 

 terminal, read " terminal or lateral."
