116 MESSRS. BAKER, MOORE, RENDLE, RIDLEY AND WERNHAM 



flava sepalg postico adnata, stelidiis parvis augustis recurvis. Pollinia 

 globosa. Capsula obconica 1 cm. longa. 



Langbian Peaks, 6,000-7,500 ft. "Dull pale green to dull 

 pale crimson streaked dark crimson.'' 



Allied to /. paleacea Lindl., of the Himalayas, but with 

 shorter sepals and petals, and shorter lip with upcurved sides and a 

 very different callus at the base. 



7. Eria paniculata Lindl. 



Langbian Peaks, 6,500 ft. " Greenish and yellowish white

Gaul is. 11 cm. longus, foliis carnosioribus angustioribus 

 14 cm. longis 3 mm. latis. Racemus ut in typo sed callis in labello 

 multo longioribus. Dalat 5,000 ft. " Flowers pinkish crimson 

 white." A somewhat similar form but more intermediate between 

 this and the last was collected in Laos by Micholitz ; the very narrow 

 stiff leaves, and the stronger developed calli on the lip, which. is 

 purple in the centre of the terminal lobe, are distinguishing marks.

Langbian Peaks, 6,000 ft. " Lip yellow streaked brownish, 

 throat much streaked with crimson."' This specimen has remarkably 

 large flowers, the sepals 3-5 cm. long, .5 mm. across. The type plant, 

 however, with smaller flowers, came from the same locality.
