15. OIRRHOPETALUM  MACULOsUM, Lindl. in Bot. Regist. 1841, Mise. 81; 
1843, under t. 49. 
Rhizome with fibrous sheaths and many roots, about ‘2 in. thick; pseudo-bulbs 
touching or as much as “5 іп. apart, ovoid, shrivelled, “75 to 1 in. long. Leaf thick, 
narrowly oblong, the apex obtuse and notched, narrowed аё the base, sessile 4'5 to 
6 in. long and ‘65 to 1:25 in. broad. Scape about twice as long as the pseudo-bulbs, 
with a sheath at the base, the umbel two- to four-flowered; floral bract lanceolate, 
shorter than the stalked ovary. Flowers about 74 in. long. Dorsal sepal free at its 
base from the lateral pair, broadly ovate, acute, sub-depressed; lateral sepals about twice 
as long as the dorsal, free, ovate-lanceolate from a broad base, sub-acute, falcate, 
their upper margins curved inwards. Petuis broadly ovate, very obtuse. Lip oblong 
with a broad base, tapering to the sub-acute apex, the upper surface with a groove 
and a line in the middle of it. Column broadly winged, short; the apical teeth 
short, curved, blunt; the foot narrowed, rectangularly curved below the apex, otherwise 
rather straight. Pollinia unequal, the outer two much the larger, all cohering to 
a mass of viscid tissue. Hook. fil Fl. Br. Ind. V, 776. 6. bootanense, Griff. Қойш,

Sikkim; at Tendong; elevation 5,000 feet; Pantling, No. 208; in flower in May. 
Distributed westward to Nepal, Kumaon and Gharwal; Таоа Strachey and Win- 
terbottam and other collectors. Khasia Hills; Mrs. Prain. : 
The sepals and petals are cream-coloured, profusely spotted; the lip is green, and 
the foot of the column blotched with red. This is allied to O. guttulatum, Hook. fil. 
As in the case of б. ornatissimum, the pollinia adhere to a viscus. The Sikkim plant 
has been made a variety by Sir Joseph Hooker under the name of var, fuscescens.

stalked ovary and bract, side view, 2 front of ovary, column with its foot and the lip, seen from ` 
the side, 3 lip, 4 column, half front view to show the wings and apical processes, the anther in situ,

Chron. 1882, II, 424. 
Hhizome naked, about *15 їп, thick; pseudo-bulbs narrowly ellipsoid, about 1 in. 
apart and 1 in. in length. Leaf oblong, the apex obtuse and slightly notched, the 
base slightly narrowed, sessile, 2°25 to 4 in, long. Scape about 3 in. long, rather 
stout, bearing one sheathing bract at the base and one free lanceolate one about the 
middle, and a solitary flower at the apex; floral bract lanceolate, shorter than 
the sub-sessile ovary. Flower (to the ends of the lateral sepals) 7 or 8 inches in 
length. Dorsal sepal (including its tail) about ‘7 in. long, erect, ovate, 3-nerved,
