40 J. F. Duthie — Some new species of Orchidea?. [No. 1, 



like projections. Column about 1 cm. long, oblong, narrowly winged, 

 curving into a sbort foot at tbe base. Pollinia 2, globose, attached by a 

 cylindric caudicle to a triangular gland. 



North-West India : Debra Dun, at Karwapani, W. Bell, and 

 P. W. Marhinnon's collector ; N. Oudb, at Cbandanpur in the Gonda 

 district. Duthie's collector. 



Amongst the Indian species tbis very handsome orcbid appears to be 

 most nearly related to E. Mannii, Hk. f., which is found in Sikkim and in 

 Upper Assam. It was originally discovered in Dehra Dun in 1879 by 

 Mr. W. Bell, formerly Head Gardener at tbe Saharanpur Botanical 

 Garden, after whom I bave named it. 



5. Eulophia Mackinnoni Duthie, n. sp. 



Hhizome composed of a series of triangular flattened tubers. Leaves 

 few, plicate, 5 to 6*5 dm. long and 5 to 8 cm. broad, appearing with the 

 flowers, broadly lanceolate, acuminate, tapering into long sheaths, and 

 with a few leafless sheatbs below; nerves prominent. Scape 6-4 dm., 

 arising from the swollen base of the pseudo-stem. Flowers, ratber large, 

 arranged in a lax raceme, spreading and afterwards deflexed. Bracts 

 as long as, or shorter than, the ovary, linear, acuminate, persistent. 

 Sepals and petals fleshy, yellow, tinged with reddish-brown, veins 

 prominent outside. Dorsal sepal 1"7 cm. long, ovate, obtuse, subcordafce at 

 tbe base, 9-veined, margin inflexed at tbe apex ; lateral, a little longer 

 than the dorsal, unequal at tbe base. Petals shorter tban the sepals, 

 oblong-obovate, obtuse, overlapping and with tbeir margins reflexed 

 at tbe apex. Lip 3-lobed, witb long erect rather shallow side-lobes, 

 its body with 5-7 parallel purple-coloured ridges which extend into a 

 carunculate area within the apical lobe ; apical lobe rounded, its margin 

 undulate. Spur short, geniculate. Column rather broad, winged, with 

 no foot. Anther bicornute at the apex, its lip 2-toothed. Stigma trans- 

 verse, placed immediately under tbe antber. Pollinia, tranversely 

 oval, attacbed by a broad caudicle to a sballow crescent-shaped 

 gland. 



North- West India : Debra Dun, Mackinnon ; Siwalik range, Vicary 

 (in Herb. Calc.) ; Babraich district in N. Oudb, Duthie's collector ; 

 Eaipur district in Cent. Provinces, J. Marten. In the Saharanpur her- 

 barium there is an old specimen named " E. bicolor " wbich is said to 

 have been collected near Mussoorie in October J 842. 



Tbis species is evidently allied to E. geniculata, King and Pantling, 

 an extremely rare Sikkim orcbid. It differs cbiefly in tbe shape of 

 tbe rhizome, the very much broader leaves, the colour of the flowers, 

 and in tbe sbape of the lip.
