P. 698. E. PAKADOXA, var. Farishii. Additional specimens of this collected in 

 Upper Burma (Herb. Calcutt.) , appear to prove this to be a distinct species, which 

 may be characterized as follows : — 



26/1. L. Paeishii, HooTc.f. ; leaves 2-3 narrowed to the base or broadly petioled 

 lanceolate acuminate, flowers fleshy, bracts small ovate acuminate, sepals oblong 

 obtuse 5-nerved, lip recurved obovate retuse, base with 2 teeth, sides flat, column 

 suberect not winged. L. paradoxa, va/r. Farishii, Sook. f. I. o. 



Tenasseeim, Loll, Parish. Uppeb Bukma, Herl. Qalcutt. 



Leaves 2-3 in. Scape 6-8 in., naked, few-fld. ; bracts ^ in. ; pedicels J in. ; ribs 

 of ovary not wrinkled ; flowers ^ in. diam. ; sepals spreading, dorsal longest ; petals 

 deflexed, margins revolute ; lip thick, minutely erose beyond the middle ; basal teeth 

 united by a curved ridge, nerves faint subconcentrie. — Very near L. paradoxa but 

 pedicels longer, bracts smaller and sides of lip not erect. 



P. 701. After 37. L. obsouba, insert — 



37/1. L. LATIPOLIA, Lindl. Gen. <f" Sp. Orchid. 30. L. Scortechinii, Sooh. Fl. 

 Brit. Xnd. v. 703, Ic. Plant, t. 2009. L. robusta, Hooh. f. Ic. Plant, t. 2012. 

 Malaxis latifolia, Blume Bijdr. 393. — I have now little doubt but that the two species 

 which I proposed as L. Scortechinii & robusta are forms of the Javanese L. latifolia ; 

 the former of which was taken from a drawing of a specimen in an advanced state of 

 flowering. L. latifolia should be referred to the subsection of Goriifolia, with single- 

 leaved pseudobulbs and 3-nerved sepals. L. rolusta is a native ot Maxwell's Hill, 

 Pebak {Wray). 



P. 701. After 41. L. OBScnEA, insert the two following : — 



41/1. L. lOBTA, 3.oo7c.f. Ic. Plant, t. 2014 j pseudodulbs small, leaf sessile ellip- 

 tic-lanceolate acute 9-nerved, scape terete, bracts half as long as the long decurved 

 pedicels, sepals linear-oblong obtuse 1-nerved revolute, margins recurved, lip shorter 

 than the sepals cuneate-obovate angles rounded, tip rounded obscurely crenulate, 

 callus basal 2-lobed. 



Khasia Hilis, alt. 3000 ft., Mann. 



Pseudobulls | in., conical-ovoid. Leaf 4-5 by IJ-IJ in., thinly coriaceous. 

 Scape rather stout, with few lanceolate bracts, sometimes flexuous ; bracts i— J in., 

 lanceolate, membranous, spreading ; pedicel with ovary ^ in. ; sepals ^ in. ; lip ^ in. 

 broad. — A very distinct species, perhaps nearest to L. booianensis, but differing iu 

 the 1-nerved sepals and the wings of the column not being hooked. 



41/2. L. tenuifolia, Sook. f, Ic. Plant, t. 2013 ; pseudobulbs small narrow, 

 leaf elongate very narrowly linear-oblanceolate, scape naked with the elongate raceme 

 as long as the leaf, bracts setaceous equalling the short capillary pedicels, flowers 

 minute, sepals deflexed flat 1-nerved, lip with a suberect sessile lunate hypochile and a 

 rhomboidly orbicular convex puberalous deflexed epichile, calli 0, column not winged. 



TJPPEE Assam ; on the Mikir Hills, alt. 1000 ft., Mann. 



Pseudobulbs i-^ in. , narrowly pyriform. Leaf 6-8 by J- J in. at the broadest 

 part, narrowed downwards, 1-nerved. Scape and raceme very slender ; bracts J in., 

 as long as the pedicel and ovary j flowers pale, i in. diam. j sepals Unear-oblong, 

 obtuse, margins slightly recurved, nerve faint j lip rather shorter than the sepals, 

 lobes of the hypochile incurved, subacute, half as long as the epichile ; column 

 rather slender. — ^A very distinct species. 



P. 703. 45. L. ScoBTECHiNli, see L. latifolia, above. 

 After 46. L. tlacoida, insert — 



46/1. L. asAOiLis, Hooh. f. Ic. Plant, t. 2011 ; pseudobulbs narrow, leaves 2 

 oblanceolate, scape long slender terete, raceme long lax-fld., bracts as long as the
