the undivided tube; labellum nearly half exserted, cleft to the middle 
into two rhomboid-cuneate in front and outward irregularly denticu- 
lated lobes, slightly thickened but not cristate towards the middle; 
column exceedingly short; anther very minutely rostrate, also ter- 
minated by two narrow-spathulate transparent appendages, and 
furthermore produced on both sides into two linear-subulate laciniae. 
Eramanea ; discovered by the Rev. Hugh Fraser. 
Two raceme exstant in Mr. Campbell’s collections. Bract below 
the raceme empty, about two-thirds of an inch long, tubular towards 
the base, like the floral bracts, membraneous. Flowers crowded al- 
most into a corymb. Their bracts three to five lines long, one-nerved, 
beset with but few hairs. Calyces membraneous, more or less bluntly 
or acutely five-toothed, oblique at the broad base, there rounded on 
the outer side, and almost gibbous on the inner one, only about three 
lines long; the petaline lobes still more delicately tender than the 
sepaline ones ; the tube not separated into two labia as in the section 
Leucorchis. Labellum four to five lines long, membranous; the 
sinus between the two lobes forming an acute angle; the lower por- 
tion of the labellum broad-linear, canalicular-bent. Appendages of 
the anther less than one line long. Pollen-masses oblique ovate, 
granular. Young fruit obovate, somewhat pear-shaped, conspicuously 
constricted at the junction of the floral parts. Fruit-pedicels hardly 
one line long. 
This very remarkable species accords in the size of its flowers 
and their paucity with G.verucosa (Blume, Mus. Bot. Lugdun. 11., 173) 
and G. pallens (Epiphanes pallens, G. Reichenbach, in Seemann’s 
Flor. Vit., 296; Didymoplexis pallens, Griffith in McClelland’s 
Calcutta Fourn. of Nat. Hist., 1844, p. 17; Apetalon minutum, Wight, 
Icon. Plant. Ind. Ovient., v., tab. 1758 ;) while it agrees in the short- 
ness of the column, and also in the very abbreviated pedicels, with 
G. Cunninghami (J. Hooker, Flor. Nov. Zeel., 1., 251,) but it differs 
not only from these three congeners, but also from all others hitherto 
known, namely, G. sesamoides (R. Brown, prody. 330) G. gracilis, 
G. elata, G. Hasseltii (Blume, J. z.) G. silvatica (Leucorchis sylvatica, 
Blume, l. ¢., vol. 1., 31) and G. Javanica (Endlicher Genera Plant., 212) 
in the deeply bilobed and partly exserted labellum. 
CoRYMBORCHIS VERATRIFOLIA (Blume, Les Orchidées de 
Archipel. Indien. et du Fapon, p. 125, planch. 32 and 43.) 
SaNTo, in dense forests. Attains a height of six feet.
