DOTTBTFITI, AND IMPERFBCTIT KNOWN SPECIES. 



S. CEAVAinM, Lindl. Gen. ^ Sp. Orchid. 223. (Epidendrum clavatum, Retz 

 Obs. vi. 50. Limodorum clavatum, Willd. Sp. Fl. W.12e; caulescent, pendulous, 

 leaves linear clavate 2-toothed, spikes leaf-opposed, lip inflated bearded. — East 

 Indies, on trees.— It is impossible to say what this is; it had better be suppressed. 



S. DASTPOGON, Zindl. Gen. ^ Sp. Orchid. 222. (Aerides dasypogon, Smith in 

 Rees Cyclop. Suppl. Epidendrum umbellatum, Sam. mss.) ; stemless, leaves 

 ovate-obloug acute obliquely 2-toothed, corymbs subumbellate, sepals and petals in- 

 curved linear-oblong green without hlood-red within, lip white dotted with blood- 

 red, limb dilated subcordate toothed. — Nepal, Hamilton. — (Probably S. calceolare). 



S. Pech^i, Seichh. f. in Gard. Ohron. 1887, i. 447 ; leaves very broad 7 by 2 in. 

 ligulate obtusely 2-lobcd, raceme few-fid., flowers as in Sect. Calceolaria, as large as 

 iS. bellinum, sepals and petals cuneately oblong ochreous spotted with red, lip a 

 cnpular spur, side lobes retuse and angular over the transversely triangular midlobe, 

 blade white and yellow base of the spur spotted with red. — Moulmein, Peche. — (I 

 have seen only imperfect cultivated specimens in Herb. Kew. It appears to be a 

 very distinct large-leaved species of Sect. Calceola/ria, 3. D. H.) 



AcAMPE Geiefithii, Beiohb. f. in Flora, 1872, 277 ; near A. dentata, spur 

 eylindric hairy within, midlobe of lip triangular angled on each side at the base pro- 

 truding, two intermarginal lamellee (" lineatis apice lobosis "), disk warted all over. — 

 The rest as in yj. dentata, Lindl. — Bhotan, Griffith. 



AcAMPE INTBBMEDIA, Seichb. f. in Otto. ^ Dietr. Algemein. Gwrtenzeit. 1856, 

 217; near A. multiflora, Lindl.; flowers like those of A. papulosa, Lindl., leaves 

 shorter lovate lip equally 2-lohed, raceme short corymbose, lip (" labello aplectro "), 

 canal between the lateral lobes hairy, midlobe oval acute tubercled. 



65. SARCANTKUS, Lindl. 



Characters oiSaccolahium, but spur with a dorsal usually 2-lobed callus 

 or an erect plate within, inserted under the column, and with the cavity 

 more or less divided by a vertical septum. — Species about 20, Tropical 

 Asiatic. 



But for the inconvenience attending the substitution of a new generic name 

 for the numerous species of this genus, I should unhesitatingly unite it to 

 Cfa'sosioBia, andbothtoiSaccolaiJMm. The only character whereby its species can be 

 distinguished is the more or less septate cavil y of the spur, often a very obscure one, 

 and almost inappreciable when the septum is reduced to a mere ridge. 



* Leaves elongate, filiform. 



1. S. fillformis, Lindl. in Bat. Meg. 1842, Misc. 61 ; leaves 8-10 in., 

 racemes long lax-fld., sepals oblong obtuse, petals smaller and narrower, 

 lip broadly conically, saccate base 2-lobed, side lobes acute incurved, mid- 

 lobe short broad toothed on each side at the base. Bot. Mag. t. 4639 ; 

 Jard. Fkur. 266. 



SiKKiM Himalaya, Griffith's Collector. Khasia Hills, LoU. Tenassebim, 

 Parish. 



Stem pendulous, as thick as a duck's quill, terete. Leaves distant, i in. diam., 

 obtuse. £acemes 6-10 in., curved; bracts minute, ovate; pedicels very short; 

 flowers J in. diam. ; sepiils and petals dark purple, margins and midrib green ; lip 

 flesby, white, base broad yellow, midlobe white, sac with a narrow lamina from 

 the base of the midlobe downwards, and a very large-lobed hispid callus below the
