137 



Group 2.— TRANSPARENTIA. 



7. D. pulchellum Roxburgh. — Sylhet. — Sepals whitish ; petals pink ; most beautiful. 



8. D. Devonianum Paxton. — Khasija Hills. — Like the last, but much handsomer. 



9. D. Pierardi Roxburgh. — E. Indies. — Mowers delicate pink ; very pretty. 



10. D. cretaceum Lindley. — Moulmein. — Flowers chalky-white, with crimson-pencilled lip. 



11. D. cucullatum R. Brown. — E. Indies. — Very like D. Pierardi. 



12. D. Egertonise Lindley. — E. Indies. — Elowers pale pink, very sweet-scented. 



13. D. mesochlorum Lindley. — E. Indies.- — Elowers white, with the petals, &c, tipped with 

 pink, rather sweet-scented. 



14. D. crepidatum Lindley. — Indian Archipelago. — Elowers white, tipped with pink ; a yellow 

 stain on the lip ; very pretty. 



15. D. transparens Wallich. — E. Indies. — Elowers pink, transparent, beautiful. 



16. D. amcenum Wallich. — Nepal. — Elowers delicately white, exquisitely fragrant. 



(alias Limodorum aphyllum Roxburgh.) 



17. D. macrostachyum Lindley. — Ceylon. — Elowers rather small, greenish, not handsome. 



18. D. gemellum Lindley. — Indian Archipelago. — Elowers small, pale yellowish-green; of no 

 interest. (alias Pedilonum bifiorum Blume.) 



19 ? D. foliosum Brongniart. — Java. — I have seen in Reinwardt's Herbarium fragments of 

 what seems to be this plant, but am unable to determine whether or not it is a Dendrobium. There 

 is a small, reflexed, tongue-like appendage on the lip, which excites suspicion that it may be an 

 axillary-flowered Appendicula. It should be compared with D. auriferum, a curious Chinese plant. 



20. D. candidum Wallich. — Khasija Hills. — Elowers small, pure white, sweet-scented. 



21. D. nutans Lindley. — Ceylon. — Elowers small, white or greenish, with a yellow lip ; stem hairy, 



22. D. stuposum Lindley. — E. Indies. — Elowers small, white, with a deep orange callus below 

 the point of the lip. 



23. D. connatum Lindley. — Java. — Elowers whitish green. 



(alias Ovychkmi connatum Blume.)

 the lip.

 the middle of the lip. 



26. D. ochreatum Lindley. — -Khasija Hills. — Elowers rich yellow, resembling the last.
