very Bhort pedicels, sepals linear-oblong obtuse revolute S-nerved, lip sharply reflexed . 

 from above the middle snbclawed quadrately oblong nerveless truncate shortly bifid 

 and toothed with a minute entire obtuse interposed tooth, calli obscure or 0. 



Pebak j on Waterfall Hill, Wray. 



Fseudoitdis 1 in., sheathed. Leaves 3-7 in., acute,'rather thin, 5-nerved. Scape 

 with raceme much longer than the leaves ; bracts ^ in. ; flowers distant, about J in. 

 diam., pale green; margins of sepals not recurved; lip shorter than the sepals, con- 

 cave towards the base with thiclcened involute margins, blade smooth red, no calli, 

 but an obscure thickened ridge at the very base ; column obscurely winged above. — 

 A very distinct species. 



P. 704. After 49. L. disiaks, insert — 



49/1. L. DoiiABELLA, Sooh.f. le. PI. t. 2010; pseudobulbs narrow, leaves 2 nar- 

 rowly oblanceolate, scape narrowly winged, raceme erect lax-fld., bracts small 

 subulate, flowers small, sepals oblong obtuse spreading 1-nerved, margins not recurved, 

 lip axe-shaped reflexed from a short broad claw anterior margin crenulate, disk with 

 a depressed 3-carinate ridge which is truncate posteriorly and vanishes beyond the 

 middle of the lip and a branched nerve on each side. 



Khasia Hills, alt. 4000 ft., Mann. 



Fseudobulbs 1-2 in. Leaves 6-14 by |-1 in., acute, subpetioled, 5-7-nerved. 

 Beape with raceme shorter than the leaves; pedicels i in., longer than the bracts; 

 flowers -J in. diam. ; lip broader than long, exactly the shape of an axe or chopper, 

 anterior margin slightly rounded ; column incurved, slender, not winged. 



P. 705. 53. L. EESTTPINATA. Mr. Ridley informs me that the Nilghiri habitat 

 is no doubt an error, taken up from the late N. B. Ward's Herbarium (at the British 

 Museum). The specimen was collected by Griffith, and no doubt in the Khasia. 



P. 707. LiPAEis DECUESiVA. Mr. Ridley informs me that this is absolutely 

 identical with L. reflexa, Lindl., an Australian species. 



P. 708. LiPAEis ZETLANICA. Mr. Eidley informs me that he cannot guess what 

 Loddiges' Liparis from Ceylon is, and that the additional name of zeylanica is a 

 misprint in his monograph. 



In generic character of Platyclinis, after sepals and petals, add subequal. 



1. P. GBACiLis, in fourth line of character, for linear-oblong read ovate-lanceolate ; 

 and after tip rounded, add or acute. Add at end, Ic. Flanf. t. 2016. 



2. P. Klif&li ; after BooJe.f., insert Ic. Flant. t. 2015. 



P. 709. Oeeoechis inmca ; at end of character dele {not of Dene). 



P. 710. In character of Sect. 1. Saecopodittm after " Leaves 2 " insert in 

 brackets (Leaf solitary in D. longicolle). 



P. 711. Line 6, after Aporum add, and Strongyle. 



P. 712. 5. Dendeobiitm lonsicollb. Mr. Ridley informs me that this species 

 occurs in New Guinea, and that Eeichenbach's J), inauditum Eeichb. f. (Lindenia 

 ii. 66) is a synonym of it ; as also that the pseudobulbs are constantly 1-leaved, in 

 which respect it- differs from all other Indian Saroopodia, and approaches Sulho- 

 pTiyllvm. 



6. D. PEEAKBNSE, after HooTc.f. insert, la. Flant. t. 2019. 



P. 713. 7. D. MACEOPODTJM, add Ic. Flant. t. 2020 ; and for " pedicels very 

 short " read " pedicels with ovary very long." 



8. D. GEMiNATTTM, for " LinAl. mss.," read Lindl. Gen. ^ Sp. Orchid. 77, and 

 add as synonym Desmotrichum geminatum. Flume JBijdr. 332. 



9. D. LONGIPES, add Ic. Flant. t. 2017, and in line 2 add, pedicel with ovary very 

 long. — A fine suite of specimens from Mr. Wray offers great variations ; a small form 

 from the top of Gunong Batu Pateh, alt. 6703 ft., has close-set polished pseudobulbs 



iin. long, and leaves only i-k in., scape 14 in. ; another has a 3-leaved pseudobulb 

 nearly 1 in, long, and petioled leaves 3 in., the flowers of these are white tinged with
