petals sub-equal, lanceolate, accuminate. Lip oblong with rather large 

 blunt incurved side-lobes and a dilated sub-reniform apex apiculate in 

 the centre ; upper surface of the middle of the lip with 3 ridges which, 

 beginning at the base as lines, pass into converging lamellae towards the 

 apex ; spur blunt, incurved, exceeding the sepals by *12 in. Column 

 winged. Anther with two bosses. 



Sikkim ; in the valley of the Teesta at an elevation of 1,000 feet ; 

 in flower in March. 



The colour of the sepals and petals is greenish with brown lines : 

 the lip is white, and its lamellae are yellow spotted with pink. The 

 anther is pink and its bosses are dark red. The species is near to T. 

 viridifusca. We have dedicated it to Sir Joseph Hooker. 



CALANTHE, R. Br. 



Calanthe trullifokmis, n. spec. Leaves linear-lanceolate, acute, 

 sessile, 9 to 12 in. long. Raceme about 9 in. long; its stalk about the 

 same length, puberulous. Floioers 14 to 18, scattered, about 1 in. in 

 diam. ; floral bracts linear-lanceolate equal to or exceeding the stalked 

 puberulous ovaries. Dorsal sepal ovate-lanceolate, narrowly acuminate 

 *75 in. long.; lateral sepals lanceolate, falcate, longer than the dorsal. 

 Petals linear, acute, shorter than the lateral sepals. Lip sessile, trowel- 

 shaped, the base entire, the sides irregularly crenate-dentate, not lobed ; 

 the apex acuminate, entire : the upper surface with two converging 

 lamellae extending from its base midway to the apex : spur short, 

 stout ; its mouth triangular, its interior bristly. Pollinia in 4 clavate 

 unequal pairs. 



Sikkim : on Mahaldaram Peak : elevation 6,000 feet ; flowering in 

 in July. 



A species allied to C. puberula, Lindl. but differing from that 

 species in having sessile leaves and a lip without side lobes. The colour 

 of the sepals and petals is brown with a mesial and marginal green 

 lines. The lip is white, with a triangular pink mark at the base.

 EULOPHIA, R. Br. 



Eulophia geniculata, n. spec. Leaves about three and a half feet in 

 length of which the petiole forms one-third, the blade linear-lanceolate, 

 acute, plicate. Flowering scape about 18 in. long, clothed through- 

 out with sheathing bracts 1 to 3 in. long, and bearing at its apex 

 a 6- to 8-flowered raceme. Flowers 1 in. in diam., each with a 

 lanceolate acute bract equalling the sub-sessile, cylindric ovary. Dorsal 

 sepal elliptic, blunt : the two lateral elliptic-lanceolate, sub-acute.
