Hab. — Sylhet. Moulmein. Flowers here in April and May. 



Desck. — Spike pendulous, conical. Flowers rather small, crowded. 

 Sepals linear oblong, the lateral ones rather broader. Petals 

 oblong-lanceolate, twice as broad. Labellum keeled below, sub-cal- 

 carate, almost three-lobed, the side towards the base erect and almost 

 concealing the column, dilated about the middle, apex emarginate, 

 subtruncate with revolute margins, the floor with indistinct irregular 

 cellular longitudinal processes. Column short, sprinkled in front 

 with purple dots ; lateral teeth of the apex obsolete or small, blunt- 

 ly conical. 



This appears to me to be Roxburgh's Limodorum candi- 

 dum ; as it agrees tolerably well with the figure quoted above.

 ing of Limodorum recurvum, (G. dilatatum,) to which Dr. 

 Lindley seems inclined to refer it, by the small flowers, 

 narrow sepals, and the shape and disposition of the labellum. 



G. attenuatum (n. sp.) scapo foliis breviore, spica nutante 

 pendula, floribus congestis ascendentibus vel erectis, sepa- 

 lis petalisque subaequalibus oblongis, labello ecalcarato cal- 

 ceolariformi e basi dilatata bicristata attenuata, columna 

 nanissima. 



Hab. — Burmah. Flowers here in May. 



Descr. — About 10 inches or a foot in height. Leaves about 3, 

 ovate or oblong-ovate, acute, 4-6 inches long. Scape about twice as
