a small caruneulate process in its interior. The petals of the plant here described 
are almost rotund and quite entire, while in F. japonica they are oblong with broad 
oblique serrate apices. The Japanese species moreover has more slender stems than 
У. Prainii, with longer flower-pedicels and a stouter rhizome sparsely clothed with larger 
scales. .In the present species the flowers are. white throughout.

34. Eulophia, R. Brown. 
Terrestrial glabrous herbs with fleshy tubers or rhizomes, rarely pseudo-bulbous. 
Leaves appearing along with or after the flowers, long, narrow, usually plicate (probably 
sometimes absent). Scape usually lateral, erect, tall, sheathed, bearing a raceme (rarely 
a panicle). Sepals and petals free, spreading, often sub-equal. Lip adnate to the base 
of the column or to its foot, base saccate or with a short spur, usually 3-lobed; the 
lateral lobes. erect and embracing the column; dise usually ridged or crested. Column 
with or without a foot, its apex entire and often oblique, its margins sometimes winged 
or lobed. Anther terminal, sometimes with two apical processes, its lip often toothed, 
2-celled. Pollinia 2, globose, attached by a caudicle to the flat gland of the rostellum.
