196 CXLVIII. OKCHIDE/E. (J. D. Hooker.) [Supplement, $c. 



P. 6. After E. SQUALIDA, insert 



29/1. E. HOLOCHILA, Coll. i$r Hems?, in Journ. Linn. Soc. xxviii. 132; raceme 

 lax-fld., flowers large, bracts about equalling the ovary, scape robust, sepals oblong 1 

 obtuse, petals obovate-oblong tips rounded, lip orbicular entire or very obscurely 

 broadly 3-lobed, disk smooth. Hook. f. Ic. Plant. 2116 ined. 



BURMA ; on the Shan Hills, alt. 4000 ft., Coltett. 



Leaves very young at flowering time. Scape 12 in., as thick as a swan's quill, with 

 two oblong ventricose obtuse sheaths below the middle ; raceme Gin. ; bracts slender, 

 membranous; pedicel with ovary f in.; flowers 1^-2 in., broad ; sepals 7-nerved, 

 lateral adnate to the sides of the spur ; petals 5-nerved, the outer pair branching 

 outwards ; lip about as long as the sepals, nerves very many parallel, mentuin spur- 

 like. Only one specimen seen by me. 



P. 8. 25. E. SANGUINEA. Add Syn. C. rufa, Thw. Enum. 302, and to the habitats, 

 CEYLON, at Hantaui, jilt. 3000 ft., Thwaites. 



CYRTOPEEA RUFA, Thwaites. This plant was unknown to me till I was shown a 

 living specimen that was sent by Dr. Trimen from Ceylon, and which flowered in the 

 Royal Gardens, Kew. It is identical with 25, Eulophia sanguinea, as figured in Bot. 

 Mag. t. 6161. The colour of the flowers varies. 



EULOPHIA Sp., Trimen Cat. PI. Cei/l. 89 (C.P. 3958). Dr. Trimen has kindly 

 lent me the Herb. Peradeuiya species of this ; it is IE. tjraminea, L. 



To the species of Eulophia " UNKNOWN TO ME" add ? BLETIA BICALLOSA, Don 

 Prodr. 30 (Limodorum bicallosum, Ham. mss.) t from Nepal, thus described by Don. 

 Scape If ft. erect terete scaly, raceme 6-8-fld., flowers pale, lip 3-lobed subun- 

 guiculate anfractuously articulate and saccate at the claw, lobes rounded, midlobe 

 largest crisped glabrous, sepals and petals elliptic mucrouulate, lateral sepals adnate 

 to the unguiform process ; pollinia 4, parallel, waxy. Don adds that it is hardly a 

 jBletia, under which genus he includes an Arundina, a Calanthe and a Eulophia. 



P. 32. After 2. DORITIS WIGHTII insert 



3. D. BRACEANA, HooJc.f. ; scape stout elongate, mentum spur-like acute, side 

 lobes of lip ovate-lanceolate, midlobe spathulately obovate. 



SIKKIM HIMALAYA, Gamble. 



Roots very many, broad, flat. Stem very short. Leaves oblong, very dark 

 green. Scape much longer than the leaves, as thick as a crow-quill or thicker, very 

 dark green, speckled with brown ; raceme 6-10-fld. ; bracts minute, triangular ; 

 peduncle with ovary -1 in., decurved ; flowers 1 in. diam. ; sepals obovate-oblong, 

 obtuse ; and narrower petals fleshy yellow with pinkish midrib ; lip membranous, 

 violet-purple, tips of the forked appendage straight. Column very large, fleshy ; 

 pollinia 4 subglobose. Described from a drawing and notes by Mr. Brace. Much 

 nearer to D. tanialis than to Wightiana, differing in the many-fld. long remarkable 

 stout scape and much larger flowers with yellow sepals and petals and a longer spur- 

 like mentum. 



P. 40. After 26. SAECOCHILTTS MEEGUENSIS, insert 



26/1. S. (FornicRria) PUGIONIFOLIA, HooJc.f. Ic. Plant, ined. j stemless, peduncle 

 about equalling the few elongate-subulate recurved deeply channelled leaves, bracts 

 suberect, lip sessile on the foot of the column saccate truncately 3-lobed ciliate. 



CEYLON; at Varuniya, in the N. Central Province, Trimen. 



Leaves 2-3 by in. at the thickest part, fleshy, more than semi-terete with a 

 rounded back and very deep channel in front. Peduncle glabrous ; bracts ovate- 

 oblong, obtuse. Flowers % in. diam., pale primrose ; lip with a few purplish mark- 

 ings ; sepals ovate-oblong obtuse, lateral gibbous on the lower margin ; petals oblong 

 obtuse ; lip ciliate on the lobes and disk towards the broad 3-lobed apex, side lobes 

 rounded, midlobe not longer orbicular ; a small caruncle at the base of the midlobe ; 

 column short, white. I have to thank Dr. Trimen for a specimen and a drawing. 



P. 40. On last line of description of SAECOCHILUS FILIFORM is, for S. Trimenire&d. 

 S. viridiflorus. I had proposed the former name for the latter plant before dis- 

 covering (whilst the description was passing through the press) that it was ^Erides 

 viridiflorum, Thw. 



P. 44. To habitats of 3. M t CYLINDRACEUM, add CEYLON.
