Uppek Burma j at Maypongo, Herb. Sort. Calo'iU. 



Tuber globose. Stem 4-6 in. Leaves 2, linear-lanceolate, acuminate. Scape with 

 the raceme 18 in. ; sheaths 2, acuminate ; raceme 6-8-fld. j bracts f-1 in., mem- 

 branous, linear-lanceolate, snbspathaceous j flowers 1 in. diam. ; lateral sepals inserted 

 at the base of the column ; lip shorter than the sepals ; hypoehile obovate, as long as 

 the rather narrower epichile ; spur short, cylindric ; column rather long. 



6. E. bracteosa, Lindl. m Wall. Cat. 7366 ; Oen. 4- Sp. Orchid. 180 ; 

 in Journ. Linn. Soc. iii. 23 ; bracts very long, sepals oblong, tip rounded, 

 petals broadly obovate very many-nerved, lip narrowly obovate-oblong, 

 obscurely 3-lobed, disk with 5-crenulate veins. E. grandiflora, Lindl. 

 Gen. Sf 8p. Orchid. 181. 



Khasia HiLis; on the north slopes, alt. 3-4000 ft., J. D. S. ^ T. T. 

 CHMTAaoNO, WalUch. TBifASSERiM, alt. 3500 ft., Parish. 



Stem 4-6 in., sheathed. Leaves 1-3, 10-18 in., linear-lanceolate, petioled, 

 S-nerved. Scape stout, shorter than the leaves, clothed with long sheaths ; raceme 

 short, few-fld. J flowers fleshy; bracts 1-1^ in . ; sepals ^ in., yellow; lip white or 

 lilac, streaked ; spur short, obtuse. Capsule 1 in. — Lindley's habitat of Ceylon for 

 grandiflora is no doubt an error. 



7. E. elata, Sooh. f. ; bracts equalling the ovaries, sepals falcate 

 lanceolate acuminate 5-nerved, petals elliptic-lanceolate obtuse strongly 

 5-nerved, lip narrowly ovate-oblong obtuse entire, disk with 3 slender 

 moniliform nerves. 



PbeAK, SoortecMni, 2023. 



Leaves 12-14 in., petioled, elongate, linear-lanceolate. Scape 3J ft., very stout 

 below, sheaths appressed ; raceme elongate, lax-fld. ; bracts J-^ in. ; sepals as long, 

 fleshy ; lip equalling the sepals ; spur a small sac ; column short, stout, hooded ; 

 young A:uit 2 in., defle-xed. 



8. E. explanata, Lindl. Gen. Sf Sp. Orchid. 180 ; bracts shorter 

 than the ovary, sepals oblong-ovate subacute and broader elliptic petals 

 5-nerved, lip snbpanduriform, base saccate with spreading nerves, disk with 

 two thick crenate lamellae, midrib greatly thickened and caruncled towards 

 the truncate emarginate tip. Dipodium scariosum, Serb. Sam. 



Nepal ; at Maghada, in the Morung, Hamilton. Noeth-West India 

 (7c. Falconer). 



Leaves very young at the flowering time, surrounded at the base, along with 1 or 

 2 scapes, with short broad i-1 in. long sheaths. Scape 4-8 in., rather stout, 10-12-fld. ; 

 bracts |— i in. ; pedicels with ovary J in. ; perianth yellow and purplish, spreading, 

 |-J in. diam.; lip sessile, base adnate to the lateral sepals; sac or spur broadly 

 conical, obtuse ; column very short. — An anomalous species. Lindley's specimens 

 being counterparts of Hamilton's, his Ceylon habitat is doubtless an error. 



§§ Lip broader than long, side lobes short or 0. 



9. E. obtusa, Mooh.f.; bracts equalling the ovaries, sepfils oblong- 

 lanceolate acute 7-nerved and broadly elliptic obovate obtuse many-nerved

 oblong, disk with 2 lobed calli at the mouth of the spur and 3-5 thickened 

 nerves ending in calli within the apex, claw with a reniform callus on each 

 side. Oyrtopera obtusa, Lindl. Gen. Sf Sp. Orchid. 190.
