592 G. King & R. Pantling — New Indo-Malayan Orchids. [No. 3, 



pair at its base. Lip inserted on the short foot of the column, nearly 

 as long as the sepals and petals, ovate when flattened out ; the margins 

 entire and involute, the apex blunt, erose ; the upper surface with a 

 large erect conical mealy callus near the base and, towards the apex, 

 four smaller globular calli arranged in a transverse row. Column stout, 

 bearing the stigma low down. Anther with a broad truncate lip ; 

 pollinia 2, globose, colourless, slightly cleft behind ; caudicle dilated 

 near the pollinia, the gland elliptical. Capsule 15 in. long. 



Jaintia Hills ; growing on a tree of Finns Khasiana at Jowai, at an 

 elevation of about 4000 feet; Pantling No. 631 ; in flower during July. 

 This species is allied to B. himaculata, King and Pantling (in Ann. 

 Botanical Garden ined.) but is a smaller plant and its lip has 

 side-lobes. The flowers are white, the lip alone being yellow. They 

 appear singly and last for only half a day. 



Saccolabium Collettianum, n. spec. Stem very stout, clothed 

 in sheaths of fallen leaves. Leaves very coriaceous, flat with pro- 

 minent midrib, narrowly oblong ; bifid at the apex, the lobules 

 blunt and unequal; the base not narrowed where jointed to the 

 rather wide sheath ; length 12 to 14 in.; breadth 1*25 to 1'4. Panicle 

 slightly supra-axillary, rigid, shorter than the leaves ; the branches 

 few, spreading, few-flowered. Flowers "4 in. long; bract lanceolate, 

 much shorter than the stalked ovary. Sepals broadly elliptic, blunt, 

 spreading. Petals smaller, sub-acute, spreading. Lip two and a half 

 times longer than the sepals and somewhat longer than the ovary, 

 consisting chiefly of a long narrowly infundibuliform slightly curved 

 spur without a septum, but slightly contracted in two places near the 

 tip ; the mouth of the lip wavy, side-lobes none ; apical lobe a minute 

 triangular protuberance from the mouth of the spur. Column short. 

 Anther depressed, with a short truncate beak ; pollinia 2, obliquely 

 obovoid, bifid, diverging, attached by the cylindric caudicle to the large 

 cuneately quadrate-cordate gland. 



Shan Hills, in Upper Burma ; Collectors of Calcutta Bot. Garden ; 

 in flower during July. 



The flowers of this are rose-coloured, the tint towards the mouth 

 of the spur being darker than elsewhere. 



A species in habit much resembling S. ochraceum, Lindl., and 

 S. longifolium, Hook. fil. (of the section Acampe). The flowers, however, 

 are similar to those of S. ampullaceum, Lindl. (of Sir Joseph Hooker's 

 section Speciosie) but have a lip with a minute terminal lobe, whereas 

 the terminal lobe of the lip of S. ampullaceum is large. 



Saccolabium coarctatum, n. spec. Stem slender, pendulous, 2 to 4 

 in. long and "25 in. thick. Leaves pendulous, narrowly oblong, tapering
