Pseudobulbs crowded, of one usually many-grooved node, 1—11 in. long, sessile or sub- 
stipitate. Leaves 3—1 in., sessile, chanelled along the centre above, strongly keeled beneath, 
dark green. Flowers 1 in. long, white or flushed with yellow; pedicel with ovary 2—3 in. 
Lateral sepals T-nerved. Lip with the median ridge obscurely caruncled, ending in a 
: horse-shoe-shaped or notched caruncle in front of the terminal lobes. 
The description of this given in Roxburgh’s Flora is mixed up with that of an Eria, no doubt 
through an error of the transcriber or printer; his drawing of it is excellent. According to the plate here 
given, the pseudobulbs are sometimes tetraquetrous, which suggests the suspicion that D. quadrangulare, 
Parish (Fl. Brit. Ind. v. 714), may not be (as Parish supposed it was) really distinct. The flowers are 
identieal in the two, but D. quadrangulare otherwise differs in the clavate pseudobulbs, linear-oblong leaves 
ща fascicled flowers. Mr. Ridley, writing to me from Singapore, says that “D. pumilum is common at 
pore, with flowers yellow or cream-coloured ; lip with a dark spot at the tip, or veined with red. 
I never saw many flowers in a head as in D. quadrangulare.” 
The. drawing here reproduced is inscribed “ Moolyet (a mountain in Tenasserim), Gallatly, July 1877, 
G. King." Fig. 1, flower with the sepals and petals detached and lip removed, and the foot of the column down 
_ to the notched base of the mentum coloured pink and yellow ; 2, pedicel and column with its foot, the anther

. and than in کے‎ specimen seen by me; б, anther; 6, pollinia :—a/Z enlarged.
