Oberonia caudata, n. spec. Caulescent; stems about 1 '5 in. long, 

 tufted. Leaves four or five, distant, linear-ensiform, acuminate, falcate, 

 •75 to 2 in. long, and *15 in. broad. Inflorescence adnate to the 

 uppermost and reduced leaf, much decurved, about as long as the 

 longest leaf ; its peduncle short, ebracteate ; the raceme laxly-flowered. 

 Flowers solitary, about '05 in. long ; floral bract ovate, entire, longer 

 than the stalked ovary. Sepals subequal, ovate-oblong, acute, pale red, 

 slightly reflexed. Petals linear-lanceolate, acuminate, reflexed, paler and 

 more hyaline than the sepals. Lip much longer thau the sepals or 

 petals, 3-lobed ; basal lobes ovate, acuminate, spreading ; terminal lobe 

 narrow, deeply divided into two caudate acuminate wavy divergent 

 lobules. 



Perak : Scortechini No. 3156. 



A species allied to 0. mulescens, Lindl., but differing by the adnate 

 peduncle, the much narrower petals which are moreover acuminate, and 

 also by the lip which in this has narrower basal lobes which also are 

 acuminate. The apical lobules of this are moreover longer than in the 

 lip of 0. caulescens, and they are undulate. 



Oberonia Rolfeana, n. spec. Stems about an inch long, tufted. 

 Leaves ensiform, acute, falcate, rather thin, *75 to 1 in. long and about 

 *25 in. broad. Inflorescence three or four times as long as the leaves, 

 slender, decurved, puberulous; the peduncle shorter than the leaves, 

 bracteate ; raceme rather sparsely flowered for the genus ; floral bract 

 oblong, blunt, with erose hyaline edges, shorter than the glandular- 

 hairy stalked ovary. Flowers "05 in. long, orange-coloured. Sepals sub- 

 equal, ovate, obtuse, sub-coriaceous, entire, spreading. Petals linear, 

 sub-acute, entire, spreading. Lip longer that the sepals and petals, 

 broad and concave towards the base ; basal lobes rounded, erect, 

 entire, terminal lobe narrow, shortly bilobed at the recurved apex, its 

 edges entire. 



Perak : Scortechini No. 2193. 



A species collected only once by the late Father Scortechini who 

 made a drawing of it. The species is apt to be confused with 0. cilio- 

 lata, Hook, fil., which it much resembles in general appearance, and in 

 having a glandular-pubescent inflorescence ; but it differs from that 

 species in its lip, the terminal lobe of which in 0. ciliolata is much 

 broader than long and has fimbriate edges. 



Oberonia Bertoldi, n. spec. Stems very short, tufted. Leaves 

 coriaceous, narrowly lanceolate, acuminate ; length *5 to 1*25 in., 

 breadth - 2 to "25 in. Peduncle of the inflorescence about as long as 

 the leaves, slender, ebracteate ; the spike rather longer than the leaves, 

 many -flowered. Flowers *05 in. long, in verticels of about 6 ; floral
