This species is closely akin to O. Siete Lindl. but the latter 
differs widely in the structure of the lip. See King and Pantling 
in Annal. Roy. Bot. Gard. Calc. viii, 142, t. 198. The 
“measurements given by Kranzlin in Pflanzenreich—Orchidaceae 
—Coelogyninae p. 162 accord however poorly with Pantling’s 
figure already cited. 
Phajus sp. 
Species ex affinitate P. maculati, Lindl. ; quoad columnam vil- 
losulam cum ea specie congruit sed bracteis multo minoribus, 
floribus laxioribus sepalis minoribus, pedicellis longioribus, 
fructu haud globoso-ovoideo recedit. 
Pseudobulbi non visi. Folia 20-30 cm. longa, circ. 6 cm. lata, 
lanceolata, apice acuminata, basi petiolatim angustata, in sicco 
papyracea, plicata, utrinque glabra. Scapus saltem 30 cm. al- 
tus multiflorus; bracteae circ. 1 cm. longae plus minusve ob- 
longae concavae obtusiusculae pedicellos subaequantes ovario 
multo breviores. Flores flavi. Sepala 2.3-2.5 cm. longa, circ. 
1 cm. lata, oblonga, obtusa. Petala subsimilia angustiora. Lab- 
ellum sepalis subaequale lobis lateralibus angustis intermedio ei 
P. maculati subsimili; calcar 1 cm. longum subacutum. Col-

“Upper Burma :—In the Naung-Chaung Valley at 6-7,000 ft. ; 
growing in clumps on leafy soil; on shale rock by steep cliffs in 
forest, deep shade and damp. Flowers yellow, labellum fringed 
with brown. July ror4.’” F. Kingdon Ward. No. 1739. 
The hairy column and yellow flowers distinguish this species 
from all those of the area except P. maculata, Lindl. The 
material is unfortunately somewhat scanty and does not permit 
of a completely adequate analysis. If not an abnormal form of 
P. maculata, it is a new species 
Pholidota articulata, Lindl.
