 Oberonia Lindl. 



1. 0. iridifolia Lindl. G. & Sp. Orch. & Fol. Orch. Oberonia I. 1. 

 var. brevifolia Hook. f. Fl. Brit. Ind. V. 675. 



The specimens bear ripe capsules without any trace of flowers, but 

 the whole habit agrees exactly with 0. iridifolia Lindl. 



Klong Munse and Koh Kahdat, epiphytic near the sea. 



Area: From the Northern Himalaya to the Tavoy-district and Moulmein. 



Liparis L. G. Rich. 



2. L. disticlia Lindl, in Bot. Reg. sub. t. 882. L. gregaria Lindl. 

 G. & Sp. Orch. 33 ; Malaxis disticha Thouars Orch. 11. Afr. t. 89 ; Malaxis 

 mucronata Bl. Bijdr. 391. 



Klong Majum 700 ft. above the sea, epiphytic in the jungle. 



Area: Widely distributed from the Mascarene Islds. to Ceylon and farther 

 to Malacca, Malay- and Sunda Islds. 



Dendrobium Sw. 



3. Ö. anceps Sw. in Act. Holm. 1800. 246. Hook. f. FL Brit. Ind. 



V. 724. Âporum anceps Lindl. G. & Sp. Orch. 71. 



Without flowers, leaves and flower-buds showing the characteristic 

 forms of D. anceps Sw.

 V. 722. Aporum Serra Lindl, in Wall. Gat. 2021 & G. & Sp. Orch. 71. 



D. aloefolium Rchb, f. 



Without flowers. The stem and leaves are quite different from those 

 of the last number. I am not quite sure if it may be D. Serra Lindl, 

 certainly it is not identical with D. anceps Sw. 



Klong Munsé, epiphytic in the jungle.
