and more or less mobile; and the column produced at the base into an 
elongated foot, to which the lateral sepals are united, forming an obtuse 
or rounded mentum. In habit it is more like Bulbophyllum than 
Dendrobium. 
It may be interesting to give a brief account of the species, with their 
distribution, and a reference to published figures. They are as follows :— 
I. SARCOPODIUM AMPLUM, Lindl.—A North Indian species, ranging 
from Nepal to East Assam and the Khasia Hills. It occurs in Sikkim at 
elevations of 4,000 to 6,000 feet. The flowers are large and solitary, the sepals 
and petals green dotted with brown, and the front of the lip purple-brown. 
It was cultivated by Messrs. Loddiges about 1845, but is now seldom seen. 
It is figured in King & Pantl. Orch. Sikkim, p. 63, t. 89. 
2. S. FUSCESCENS, Lindl.—A native of Sikkim and the Khasia Hills, 
occurring in the former at elevations of 5,000 to 7,000 feet. The flowers 
are about half as large as in the preceding species, and light green, with the 
front lobe of the lip brown. It is probably not in cultivation.—King & 
Pantl. Orch. Sikkim, p. 62, t. 88. 
3. S. ROTUNDATUM, Lindl., occurs in Sikkim at elevations of 6,000 to 
7,000 feet, and also in the Naga Hills. It is allied to the preceding species, 
and has chestnut-brown flowers. It bloomed in the collection of the late 
Major-Gen. Berkeley, in March, 1895.—King & Pantl. Orch. Sikkim, p. 
68, 4. 87. 
. S. Ca@LoGyNeE (Dendrobium Coelogyne, Rchb. f.) is a native of 
Moulmein, where it was discovered by Parish at 4,000 to 5,000 feet elevation, 
and introduced to cultivation, flowering in the collection of Mr. J. Day, at 
Tottenham, in 1871. It is closely allied to S. amplum, and has very ° 
similar large flowers, but rather darker in colour. It is figured in Cogn. 
Dict. Ic. Orch. Dendrob. t. 32. 
5. S.MACROPODUM (Dendrobium macropodum, Hook. f.) was discovered 
in Perak, by Scortechini, at about 5,000 feet altitude, and was described 
from dried specimens. The scapes are over six inches long and several- 
flowered.—Figured in Hook. Ic. Plant. t. 2020. 
6. S. LonGipEs (Dendrobium longipes, Hook. f.) is another of Scor- 
techini’s Perak plants which is not yet known in cultivation. The scapes 
are about six inches long, and 3-5-flowered.—Hook. Ic. Plant. t. 2017. 
7- S.GEMINATUM (Desmotrichum geminatum, Blume) was originally 
based upon a Javan plant collected by Lobb, but has since been found by 
Scortechini, in Perak, at 3,000 to 4,000 feet elevation. The racemes are 
short, and bear several yellow flowers. It is not in cultivation. 
8. S. CYMBIDIOIDES (Desmotrichum cymbidioides, Blume) is a native 
of the mountains of Java, and was introduced to cultivation by Messrs. 
Rollisson, of Tooting, over half a century ago. It bears racemes of bright
