P. 141. 30. Sabenaria longecalcarata. Two species are confounded here, having 

 been mixed up in Wight's descriptions, Icones and Herbarium ; they are — 



30. H. LONGECALCARATA, A. Rich. (Wight Ic. t. 925, DaU. ^ Gibs, l.o.) with 

 few (2-3) very large flowers, large cucullate sheathing bracts much shorter than the 

 long-pedicelled ovary, lip twice as long as the sepals. 



30/1. H. DECIPIEN9, Wight fc. vol. v. pt. i. p. 14, with several (4-8) smaller flowers, ' 

 very short pedicels, lanceolate bracts nearly as long as the ovary, lip rather longer than 

 the sepals. H. montana, Wight (not of A. Rich.) Ic. t. 827, and 1714 the upper 

 right and the left hand figures only. — This much resembles H. longicornu Lindl. 

 (montana, A. Eisih.) but has a longer lip and much longer spur. Wight has given it 

 both names in his Herbarium, auU says there that it is intermediate between 

 longicornu and longecalcarata.

 above) must be 'replaced by H. Geifkithii. 



IjifDIAN OK0HIDE.S; OF TJNDETBEMINBD AFFINITY. 



In the above revision of the Indian Orchids 1 have doubtless overlooked some 

 species that have been published in one or other of the multitude of works I have 

 had to ransack, aud in others that have escaped my notice ; aud for which I must 

 beg indulgence. There are further some published ones, of which from the incomplete- 

 ness of the descriptions in respect especially of the pollinia, I have been unable to 

 determine the genera. The chief of these are Koenig's Indian species, referred to 

 Epidendrum (a genus now known to be peculiar to the New World,) and published 

 in the 6th Part (p. 43 et seq.) of Retz's Observationea (in 1791). Of these few have 

 been taken up by subsequent authors. They are for the most part Peninsular and 

 probably all communicated by Heyne, who included a few Malaccan species from 

 his correspondents. The descriptions are so full and good in all but the pollinia, &c., 

 that local botanists may in time recognize many of them. It is unfortunate that 

 Kcenig should not have identified any of them with Rheede's plates.
