Supplement, $c.] OXLVIII. ORCHIDE^. (J, D. Hooker.) 187 



In short, as with Coelogyne nitida & Geodorum recurvum, the faulty drawings, all 

 by the same native artist, of the lips (probably in a withered state) have retarded 

 the recognition of otherwise well marked and described species. In this view Mr. 

 Kolfe is disposed to agree with me. 



With regard to Loddige's pulchellum, (Bot. Cab. t. 1935, & Bot. Mag. t. 5037), 

 Rolfe (Gard. Chron. 1887, ii. 155) has shown that it is a Chinese plant (D. Loddigesii, 

 Rolfe), and neither Koxburgh's pulchellum nor Devonianum. 



P. 745. 137. D. BRYMERIANUM. Dr. Trimen has sent me a fine drawing from 

 the Peradeniya Herbarium of a cultivated specimen of D. criniferum, showing that 

 has no affinity with D. Brymerianum, but belongs to the Sect. Qadetia. It is 

 probably a Philippine species. 



P. 746. D. MOULMEINENSE, is perhaps only a state of D. dixanthum. At the 

 end of the specific character add Ic. Plant, t. 2033. 



P. 748. 146. D. CHRTSBUM, as stated at vol. v. p. 751, this name must give place 

 to D. aurantiacum, R.f. 



P. 752. D. HUGHII. Dele, said to be a form of D. crumenatum ; and add to SPECIES 



UNKNOWN TO ME 



D. ANDERSONII, Scott in Journ. Agric. Soc. 2nd. iii. (1872) 117, from Burma, 

 collected by Dr. J. Anderson in 1868, and described from a plant that flowered in the 

 Calcutta Bot. Gardens. It resembles, according to its author, a dwarfed form of D. 

 formosum, from which species the description does not enable me to distinguish it. 

 It is stated to be highly aromatic. 



P. 753. 2. B. CLANDESTINUM. Common at Singapore, Ridley in litt. 



3. B. MACRANTHUM, in last line after " lip "add "strongly recurved," and to, 

 citations, Ridley in Ann. Bot. iv. (L890), 335, t. 22, f. 1-6. The flowers smell of 

 cloves, Ridley. 



P. 754. After 4. B. ME GAL ANT HUM, add 



4/1. B. PATENS, King mss. ; scape very short 1-fld., pedicel longer than the 

 pseudobulb of the elliptic-oblong leaf, flower 1 in. diam., petals linear-lanceolate 

 and broader lateral sepals widely spreading and falcately decurved, lip shortly 

 stipitate linear-oblong quite straight, column truncate without apical teeth. 



PERAK, Kunstler (Ic, in Herb. Calcutt.) 



Rhizome stout, crinite at the nodes j pseudobulbs 1-1 in., ellipsoid. Leaf 6-8 

 in. by 2-2 in., acute, narrowed into a short petiole. Scape i-| in., close to the 

 pseudobulb, clothed with short imbricate scales ; pedicel 1^-2 in., yellowish speckled 

 with red ; sepals and petals yellowish, closely mottled with red-purple, f-1 in. long, 

 dorsal erect and incurved, linear-lanceolate, lateral ovate -lanceolate ; lip i in. long, 

 obtuse, base truncate; column very short. Described from the drawing in Herb. 

 Calcutt., and dried flowers. The straight lip is remarkable in the genus, and 

 distinguishes it from JB. macranthum. 



P. 755. 9. B. LOBBII, add to habitats, Chittagong hills, ( Ic. in Herb. Calcutt.) 



P. 756. 17. B. MEMBRANIEOLIUM. After Ic. Plant, insert t. 2034. 



P. 757. 19. B. MEDUSA. Mr. Ridley informs me that there are two forms of 

 this j a Borneau with pale hardly spotted flowers, and a Singaporean with much larger 

 thickly spotted flowers. 



21. B. CONFERTUM. After Ic. Plant, insert 2035. 



P. 758. 24. B. CAULIFLORUM 2036. 



25. B. PROTRACTTJM 2037. 



P. 759. 29. B. MODESTUM ,, 2038 B. 



29/1. B. CONCINNUM, HooJcf. Ic. Plant, t. 2038 A ; scape shorter than the oblong 

 leaf slender few-fld., flowers very small, sepals ovate-Lmceolate acute 3 -nerved 

 cellular, 3 times as long as the linear-oblong obtuse 1-nerved petals, mentum 

 rounded, lip minute recurved, columnar spurs slender. 



SINGAPORE, at Chang Chu Rang. Ridley. 



Rhizome very slender, sheathed j pseudobulbs f in., narrow terete curved.
