ANCECTOCHILUS. ' 129 



A. regale inornatum, Moore. — A very distinct form of this 

 liandsome plant, the leaves of which are of the usual form, 

 and of the same bronzy green colour, but are marked only by 

 the longitudinal veins and are destitute of the golden reticula- 

 tion. This dark rich velvety hue, with but few and slight 

 markings, gives it a very distinct appearance. — Java.

 and a half broad, the colour towards the margin being a dark 

 olive or bronzy green, with coppery reticulations, and abroad 

 band down the centre of pale bright green, reticulated 

 with golden veins. The flowers are white and rather showy

 inches high. The name appears to have been applied to 

 several different plants ; and those known as A. intermedium 

 and A. seta ceo-pict urn are sometimes included as varieties. — 

 Java, Sitigajiore, and India.
