i in. diam., apparently very fleshy.— Possibly a form of S. nilagiricum, but the leaves

Sect. III. AcAMPE. (See p. 54.) 



The species of this section are very diflBcult of discrimination in a dried state, 

 and the following diagnoses and citation are not very reliable, owing to imperfection 

 of specimens and vagueness of published descriptions. (See two species at the end of 

 the genus.) 



* Pedimole rather slender; flowers in large panicles. Spur of lip 

 cylindric ; midlobe ovate.

Stem 1-2 ft. leaves 7-9 by 1-li in. Panicle longer or shorter than the leaves, 

 branches distant lax-fld. ; flowers |-|- in. diam. ; midlobe of lip ovate, crenate, 

 2-auricled and with fleshy teeth at the base ; spur cylindric, as long as the limb, 

 hairy within. Capsule 1-li in., fusiform. — Bentham in Gen. Plant, iii. 581, misled 

 by a mixture of specimens of different species, errs in referring <S. lineolatum to 

 Oleisostoma maculosum ; it is clearly this plant.
