A very distinct species, which was introduced by Messrs. Charles- 
worth & Co., Heaton, radioni early in 1894. It is evidently allied to 
trigonopus, Rehb.f. Gard. Chron., 1887, ii., p. 682, but differs in 
the absence of iens s Si the lip, as well as in various structural 
details. The flowers of D. velutinum are uniformly deep yellow, and 
the lip velutinous. por somewhat resemble those of D. cariniferum, 
Rchb. f., except in wanting the pw spuhdie mentum which 
characterises the section Formose. On the other hand, the strongiy 
any of the yellow flowered species of section Ewdendrobium, so that the 
exact affinity of these two — as Reichenbach indicated for the 
original one, is "- doubtful.

A very distant species originally sent by T. R. Jarvis, Esq., Laurel 
Grove, Chelmsford, and afterwards by Mr. J. O’Brien, and Messrs. F. 
Horsman & Co. It belongs to the group with a ciliate dorsal sepal, but 
has no near ally among Indian species. The flowers are reddish purple, 
thus resem Cumingii, Lindl., in colour, while in shape they are 
compered with C. vaginatum, Lindl., both of which are very 
different in other respects. There is a doubt about the habitat ; one 
record being ^ India,” the other “ Burmah ?”
