84 On some new or imperfectly known Indian plants. [No. 2, 



labium bifidum, nunc intense aurantiacum, nunc (casu ?) latere altero 

 lilacinum, altero aurantiacum, lobulis obovato-oblongis obtusis ; 

 filamentum arcuato-incurvum, longum, lilacinum, nudum ; anther a 

 elliptico-oblonga, non marginata, connectivo supra antheram lobuli- 

 formi producto ; capsulae ovatse, calyce amplo 3-lobulato coronatae, 

 lseves ; semina minuta, nigra, minute pubescentia, arillo basi 

 parvo albo lacero instructa. — Very common in the Mixed Forests of 

 the low sandstone hills of Arracan, in Akyab District. I found the 

 flowers and fruits in October, 1869. 



This species so much resembles at the first aspect Globba spathu- 

 lata, R x b., (Mantisia spathulata, S c h u 1 1.), that it might easily 

 be taken for it ; but it has the panicles terminal on the leafy 

 scapes, and no trace of those long subulate (not spatulate, as errone- 

 ously described by Roxburgh) appendages on both sides of the 

 filamentum, and a different anther. 



HYROXIDEJE. 



83. Hypoxis* orchioides, K ur z, in Mi q. Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat., 

 IV, 177. — To this species I refer again Franquevillea major, Z o 1 1., as 

 a synonym, although Prof. M i q u e 1 suggests that it rather belongs 

 to H. aurea, Lour., than to the former species. My identification is 

 based upon authentic specimens, and Prof. M i q u e 1 evidently 

 mistakes the long slender tube of the perianth for a pedicel. 



OR CHIDES. 



84. Didymoplexis pallens, G- r i f f. — I have suggested in Dr. See- 

 m a n n ' s Journal of Botany, 1866, p. 40, that this species may be 

 identical either with Gastrodia Javanica or Hasseltii. I had since 

 an opportunity of seeing B 1 u m e ' s Java Orchidece, from which is 

 appears that none of them is identical, but that B 1 u m e himself has 

 adopted Wight's Apleetrum as a distinct genus which, however, 

 must give way to the older name of Griffith. 



CYPERACEM. 



85. Anosporum cephalotes fCyperus cephalotes, Vhl., Enuni., II, 

 311). — To this belong Cyperus mo7iocephalus, Eoxb., Fl. Ind. I, 193 ; 



* Or, as some wish to write, Hypoxys.
