NEW OR NOTEWORTHY ORCHIDS 
drooping leaves of the previous vegetative season clearly 
shown in the specimen figured by King & Pantling in Orchids 
of the Sikkim Himalaya (pt. 2. t. 238). 
Eulophia sinensis cannot well be separated from the 
Chinese plants mentioned. This species was described as 
being leafless. It is noteworthy that the lip shown in the 
type specimen appears to be broadly rounded, and not retuse 
as it was characterized in the original description. 
E. ramosa from Formosa surely should not be maintained 
as distinct from E. graminea. Its only notable difference 
from E. graminea, as well as from E. sinensis, seems to lie in 
the spur which in E. ramosa is 2 mm. long and slightly con¬ 
tracted toward the apex while in E. graminea the spur is 
3 mm. long and clavate or saccate. 
As a result of our conclusions, the range of E. graminea 
is extended from Ceylon, Sikkim, Assam, Siam and the 
Malay Peninsula to Southeastern China and Formosa. 
Govenia ciliilabia A. cfc S', sp. nov. Herba terrestris. 
Radices fibratae, lanuginosae. Folia bina, late elliptica, 
breviter acuminata, basi cum petiolis et scapo vaginis tribus 
tubulatis laxis inclusa. Flos parvus. Sepala lateralia 
oblique elliptico-lanceolata. Sepalum dorsale elliptico-ob- 
longum. Petala oblique oblongo-obovata. Labellum in 
positu naturali lanceolato-oblongum, expansum ovatum, 
late obtusum, ciliatum. 
Plant about 32 cm. high to the tip of the leaves. Roots 
fibrous, flexuous, lanuginose. Scape together with the 
petioles and lower part of the leaf-blades enclosed by 3 
very loose tubular imbricating membranaceous sheaths of 
which the basal is shortest and the uppermost largest. 
Leaves 2, subopposite, erect-spreading, elliptic, shortly acu¬ 
minate, about 18 cm. long (base concealed by sheath) and 
7 cm. wide when expanded, very thin membranaceous and 
plicate in the dried specimen. Scape (incomplete) slender, 
glabrous, apparently shorter than or subequaling the leaves, 
adorned above with an inconspicuous tubular sheath. Ra¬ 
ceme loose below, congested at the apex when young. Floral
