nor the blue flowers for U. bifida ; and there is no other known Malacca species that 

 will at all suit. 



2. U. POTBOLATA, JSJdgeio. in Proc. Linn. Soc. i. 351 ; scape twining leafless 

 2-6-fli3., braets transfixed, calyx-lobes ovate acute, corolla purple, seeds glistening 

 punctate. — Bengal ; Hdgeworth. Near U. uliqinosa (ex Edgew.), but from the 

 description of the seeds pei-haps rather allied to TI. affinis. 



3. TT. ALATA, 5e»;. in Sot. Zeit. 1845, '212; leafless, scape 1-2 in. 2-3-flrl., scales 

 basifixed, calyx-lobes ovate equal subacute dccurrent on the pedicel, corolla longer 

 than the calyx, spur conic acute longer than the calyx. — "India " (Benjamin). 

 Neither the shape of the corolla-lip, its colour, nor any account of the seeds is 

 supplied. 



4. XT. BQTTAMOSA, Benj. in Sot. Zeit. 1845, 212 ; leafless, scape 3 in. 3-fld., scales 

 attached by their middle, flowers subsessile, calyx-lobes equal orbicular-ovate obtuse. 

 — ^Nepal (Benjamin). Beniamin's description fits very well the common U. racemosa. 

 This species however must have been so well known to Benjamin that he would hardly 

 publish it again under a new name ; hence Oliver records XX. squamosa as an indeter- 

 minate species. 



5. U. PATJCISOIIA, Benj. in Linntta. xv. 309; leaves -j'-J in. oblong obtuse, 

 petiole j in., scape 4 in., pedicels exceedingly short, calyx-lobes | in. equal obtuse. — 

 India (Benjamin). Supposed by Oliver to be near U. racemosa. 



6. TJ. OBTtrsilOBA, Beti). in Ltnncea, xx. 312 ; leaves ^ in. ovate obtuse, petiole 

 J in., scapes 3-20 in., scales fixed by their middle, calyx-lobes round obtuse.^-C^ylon, 

 Nepal, China (Seyyamin). Also supposed T)y Oliver to be near U. racetnfisa. 



7. TJ. ALBIPIOEA, Chriff. Notul. iv. 168 ; leafless, scapes simple filiform, pedicels 

 bracteolate at the base, corolla white, lower lip yellow-spotted, spur acutely conic a 

 little longer than the lower lip. — Mergui ; Ghriffith. 



8. TJ. LlLiCrsTA, Ghiff. Woiul. iv. 168 ; leafless, raceme few-fld., fruit-pedicels 

 erect, calyx-lobes equal acute, corolla lilac-blue, lower lip with a yellow spot, spur 

 conic-subulate as long as the lower lip. — Mergui ; Griffith. 



9. TJ. CAPlLliABlS, Don Trodr. 85 ; leafless, scape 3-4 in. capillary few-fld., lower 

 calyx-lobe (P) ovate acute longer, corolla blue, spur conic. DC. Prodr. viii. 90. — 

 Nepal (Z). Don). 



10. TJ. EAMOSA, Va%l 'Enum. i. 204 ; leiafless, scape few-fld., flowers small, spur 

 conic short, fruit-pedicels recurved. DC. Prodr. viii. 25. — Deccan Peninsula 

 (Koenig). Doubtfully referred by Oliver to Xf. flesiuosa j it appears as likely to be 

 U. eoerulea or one of that section. 



XT. ambigua is recorded as Indian by DC. (Prodr. viii. 9) on the faith of a wroog 

 field determination of a specimen by Wallich.
