 f. in Gard. Chron. 1888, 92, with fig.; Veitch. Man. Orchid. Pt. vi. 6. S. Kimba-

5. S. LOBBII, at end of description add in Veitch Man. Orchid. Pfc. vi. 7 this 

 species is described as a native of Borneo. Keichenbach gives E> Indies, ? Khasia. 

 The specimens in Kew Herbarium are from Tenasserim, on rocks at Akyab, Parish. 



6. S. PUBESCENS, var. Berkeley i, specimen of this in Herb. Calcutt. from 

 Upper Burma have leaves 1 in. broad, the scape 18 in., and flower as in Fortuni, 

 except that the midlobe of the lip is very thick, and its wings cuneately oblong and 

 truncate. 



P. 816. 1. PHAJUS WALLICHII. Add after Walp. Ann. vi. 459, Sot. Mag. t. 

 7023, and after de Vriese Illust. t. 8, add Regel Gartenfl. 1865, t. 404. Veitch (Man. 

 Pt. vi. 15) describes P. licolor as a var. of Wallichii, with small knobby rhizomes, 

 and smaller flowers having a tawny yellow spur and tube of the lip, and white mid- 

 lobe bordered with rose. It is a native of Ceylon. He retains P. grandifolius as a 

 different species, including Blumei as a var. of it. The only tangible characters, 

 except colour, by which he distinguishes grandifolius from Wallichii are, that in the 

 former the sepals and petals are oblong-lanceolate, and the lip broadly obovate ; 

 whilst in the latter the sepals and petals are linear-lanceolate and the lip broadly 

 oval. He gives the Himalayas as habitat for both. His var. Blumei differs from the 

 type (grandifolius} in the broader deep buff yellow petals and sepals faintly mottled 

 with red. As habitats of grandifolius he gives, besides the original one of China, 

 the Himalaya, Cochin China and Australia; thus following Bentham (Fl. Austral. 

 vii. 304), who includes P. australis, leucoph&us and Carronii, of F. Muell) under 

 that species.
