The receipt of several new species of Ceratostylis during the pro-

gress of the ‘ Flora of British India’ has modified its generic character.

That given in the key to the genera of British Indian Orchids, at

p- 671 of vol. v., is especially faulty, and should be replaced by ‘ Flowers

solitary or in a lax fascicle, axillary to the pseudobnlb of the terminal

leaf. Column with two erect arms, pollinia 8.’—J. D. H.

In the ‘ Flora of British India’ I have followed Blume in removing

Oyrtopera from Cyrtopodium, and placing it under Eulophia as a

such insertion of the lateral sepals, I am obliged to refer it to Eulophia

proper. Its affinity is certainly with LH. pratensis, Lindl., and macro-

stachya, Lindl.; but it differs from these and all others of the group to

which these belong in the very narrow leaves, as well as in characters

of the lip.—J. D. H.

The plate here given is the reproduction of a garni drawing by

the Rev. C. Parish. It resembles in many respects Sarcanthus

Parishii, Hook. (Bot, Mag. t. 5217), in habit, in the | lorate bifid leaves,

ellow flowers, spur, and especially the curious pollen ; but in that

plant the leaf-lobes are rounded, the flowers are larger, the spur

eric.

structure of the pollinia is repeated with modifications in Saccolabium

obtusifolium and acuminatum (Plates 2134, 2135), but it is carr

(according to Parish’s drawing), as it were, further in S. flavum, for

each pollen-mass is broken up into a pair, each pair has a short stipes,

and these unite into a common one that is inserted in the very long

slender flat flexnous main stipes. I need scarcely add that I regard

the genus Sarcanthus as separated from Saccolabium by a purely arti-

ficial character; and that a reclassification of the species of both, to-

gether with those of Cleisostoma, is to be looked for when better

noone are — —J. D. H.

T am quite urable to distinguish Wes. Reichenbach’s three

refer the plant here figured to the latter. It is copied from the type, a

descriptions, 0. am has undulate leaves, oblong sepals, orbi-

with (according to a ue in Herb. Calcutt.) hairs on the lip (but

I have not found on any specimen that I have examined).

The resemblance in the lip, its dorsal scale and ventral forked

specimens of each without analysis, when the aitte rences are clear

In Cheirostylis pusilla the sepals are connate to the middle,

the lobes of the lip toothed, its claw finely pad towards the tip, its

sac with bristles on the nerves within, and the two frontal fleshy

appendages are as long as the rostellar arms.—J. I). H.

I have had great difficulty in analysing the flowers of this singular

species. The figure of the lip (3) is as that organ appeared to Miss

Smith on a careful dissection. When describing it in the ‘Flora of

British India’ I had not observed the reniform calli at its base.—J. D. H.

exceedingly variable in stature, foliage, lip and sac; as is the case, more

myself (in ‘Fl. Brit. Ind.’) as the authority for H. fallaa, instead of

Lindley. The involved synonymy which this would have entailed,
