This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project

to make the world's books discoverable online.

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject

to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books

are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.

Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the

THE AUTHOR.

BIexobakditm. The Preface and Introduction to this Work will be printed with the last part. In the mean while the Author begs to express his deep obligation to his scientific Friends in general, for the aid they have afforded bim in his undertaking, and most especially to Dr. Wallich, Mr. I/ambert, and Mr. M^'Rae; to the first of whom he is indebted for an imivaluable series of Indian Orchidese 3 to the second, for the un- restricted use of that part of Ruiz and Pavon's Herbarium which belongs to this subject ; and to the last, for a very rich collection from Ceylon.

Mr. Bauer having most liberally granted the Author the use of his unri- valled Sketches, a series of Illvstbations is in preparation, of which the first part wiU soon appear.

ORCHIDEiE.

Tribe I. Malaxide^.

Pollen in massis cereaceis (polliniis) definitis cohserens^ tel& omni cellulose superflu^ ademptd.. Anthera terminalis^ opercularis. Herbse epiphytse T. terrestres^ foliorum basibus v. caulibus sspitis incrassatis.

I comprehend in this Tribe all the genera that have their pollen cohe- ring in masses of a firm waxy texture, without any of the cellular sub- stance, by which the grains are connected, remaining under the form of a distinct gland lying upon the stigma, or of an elastic transparent com- munication (caudicula) between the pollen masses and the gland. Ma- laxidese may, in other words, be considered as Orchideous plants, the pollen of which communicates directly with the stigma, without the intervention of any intermediate apparatus.

Dr. Hooker's figure is authority for this species^ and it is from it that I have framed my specific character. It is extremely probable that more species than one are confounded under the same name. I have specimens ^m Rio of what is no doubt nearly allied to this, but which differs in the form of the leaf, and in having a ciliated Labellum ; my specimens are not good enough to describe.

Tbis genus forms a transition from PleurotJiallete to Dendrobiea. The differences between it and Eria will be noticed in speaking of the latter genus^ to which I have to add the remarkable circmnstance of all the pollen masses being collateral and not lying in pairs upon each other> a fact which I have learned from Mr. Bauer's elaborate drawings. Dr. Hookers figure in the Botanical Magazine^ t. 2764^ is at variance with this statement ;— but I presume that excellent Botanist's specimens were in a very imperfect state, as I find in the same plate the anther, which in

This species and the foregoing so entirely resemble each other in habits foliage and inflorescence^ that it is in vain to seek to which of them the specific name graminifolia may with the greatest justice be applied. Mr. Brown's specific character is equally applicable to both, and any Botanist might be liable to confound them when dried. I have therefore retained the name for the species figured by Dr. Hooker, who may be considered as the first who really established the species with predsion.

I do not think there are any materials in this country sufficient for de« termining exactly 'what the Malaxis Rheedii of Swartz is^ or rather the fiasaala Poulou-Maravara of the Hortus Malabaricus upon which that species was founded. Of a Microstylis from India answering to Rheede's figure I have seen no specimen. The Epidendrum resupinatum of Forster which is referred to it as a synonym> exists in the Baaksian Herbarium^ and there is also a drawing of that species in the same collection^ and these agree extremely well with the Hortus Malabaricus figure : but they •re undoubtedly distinct from M. versicolor in their greater size and much larger oblong-lanceolate leaves. Their flowers I have not analysed^ but if the Crepidium Rheedii of Blume belongs to Malaxis Rhedii^ which I scarcely doubt> the flowers are essentially distinct also.

This genus differs from Liparis chiefly in the shortness and straightness of the column connected with a three lobed concave erect or excavated lip, which is scarcely recurved about the middle, and which has never any tubercles at its base. The column of Liparis is always arcuate. From Microstylis, with which it agrees in the shortness of the column, it is distinguished by its lip being parallel with the column, not at right angles with it, and neither sagittate nor cordate at the base.

Obs. In my Synopsis of the British Flora the number of pollen masses is erroneously said to be 2. Their real number and position were first made known to me by Mr. Bauer's drawings ; the position in which the pollen masses lie, one upon the other instead of side by side, gives them the appearance of being 2 instead of four, and caused the error here ad- verted to.

I was formerly of opinion that the Brazilian and Indian plants were dif- ferent ; but more recent observation and the inspection of Dr. Wallich*8 Indian drawings have induced me to combine them. I presume there is no doubt of the plant in the Garden of the Horticultural Society, from which L. elata was originally described, being really of Brazilian origin -, and yet it is undoubtedly possible that there may have been some trans- position of labels. I do not adopt the older specific name of bitubercula- tum because it is expressive of a character common to every species of the genus.

I formerly called this by the specific name given to it by M.

More being now known^ I avail myself of the privilege which an author undoubtedly possesses of altering his own names if he thinks fit> although no one else can be suffered to do it for him.

This singular plant when properly examined will possibly be found dis- tinct from the genus in which it is now placed 3 all that I have been able to ascertain satisfactorily^ from the inspection of a single mutilated flower^ is that the pollen masses are as I have described them^ and that the plant belongs to Malaxides. The peculiar winged rachis and carinate bractese forming a kind of pectinated inflorescence is exactly that of L. gregaria^ disticha and some others ; but the plant difiers from them in having no ten- dency to form bulb-like stems^ in room of which it has the taper woody rooting stems and coriaceous distichous leaves of Aerides and its allies.

I learn the very curious structure of this plant from a beautiful sketch of Mr. Bauer's. Its peculiarity consists in its anther having its lobes con- nected by only a narrow slight connectivum^ so that it is twolobed, and in the pollen masses being concave and convex so that each pair forms a sort of hollow body narrower at the back than at the front, at which end it is open. The placentary angles of the ovarium are larger than the rest and simple, while the intermediate ones are smaller and double.

In this genus there are some species in which the rhizoma has spurious bulbs, and others in which, in lieu of these bodies, the joints of the rhi- zoma themselves become fleshy. The anther is not formed upon the usual plan of Orchidese. Instead of the valves opening by two slits along the face of each lobe of the anther, these lobes are combined and the whole face of the anther separates from the back, on which account I have called it bilabiate, llie same thing appears to happen in some of Blume's Che- lonantheras.

I know this very remarkable species by specimens given me several years since by Mr. Lambert. It came to England with some of Dr. Wal- lich's earliest Nipal collections. Its imbricated unilateral recurved spikes characterize it well, and distinguish it from P. articulata which besides has the joints of the rhizoma twice as long, and the bractes of a different figure.

Obs. This genus is nearly related to Cymbidium among Vande« and to Cattleya among Epidendreae^ from both which its peculiar habit is alone sofficient to distinguish it. From Dendrochilum it is only known by the absence of horn-like processes from its column ; for the lip of some of the Gomphostylis section is entire^ and C. (Panisca) panriflora is a Dendro*- chilnm in every thing except the want of these processes. There is a strong tendency to produce a gland > in some species such as C. prsecox^ uniflora, and fimbriata $ but this is a mere granular mass such as the filum oi £pidendre« and will not be confounded with the cartilaginous gland of Vandes.

In this species it appears from Dr. Wallich*s figure that there is a pro- duction at the base of the pollen masses^ indicating I presume from its colour a formation of granular matter as in some other species that I have examined. It is nevertheless possible that the artist may have intended to represent a cartilaginous gland, in which case the species would be rather referable to Cymbidium. I have seen no specimen.

This genus agrees entirely with Bolbophyllum in habit. It is distin- guished by its labellum being deeply lobed and continuous^ not articulated^ with the columna $ by its spatulate petals^ and by the cohesion of the lateral sepals.

I have no hesitation in referring all the above cited genera hither. When I published Tribrachia I was only acquainted with Bolbophyllimi through Du Petit Thouars*s figures ; I now know them to be the same. Diphyes is obviously a s3monym. Dr. Hooker*s Anisopetalum dlfifers only in the greater inequality of the sepals. Even Cirrhopetalum itself is less distinct from Bolbophyllum than would appear from the inspection of the 1st and Snd species.

This species is nearly related to the preceding^ with which it agrees in the position and size of its flowers^ but it difi^rs from it in tfaeit being solitary, in the more lanceolate figure of the -floral envelopes, and especi- ally in the petals being as large as the sepals 3 a solitary case in this genus.

This 6pecies differs from the next in its very taper sepals, in the petals being also finely acuminate, in its obsolete bractese, and in the squams of the scape being very small, not dilated as in B. odoratissimum. It approaches Cirrhopetalum from which it differs in the oqual . size of its sepals, and it forms a transition from Cirrhopetalum to Bolbopbyllum.

This genus is essentially distinct from Octomeria, in having the lateral s^mls yery oblique and connected with the elongated base of a short co- lumn> of which the foot is much longer than the colimin itself 3 and also in habit. Eria is a genuine genus of Dendrobiese with the column incumbent upon the oyarium 3 Octomeria on the contrary must be consi- dered, notwithstanding the slight elongation of the base of its column, to belong to the genera characterized by the column being continuous with the oyarium. In Octomeria the sepals are of equal size 3 in Eria the lateral sqials are m^ch larger thai) the upper one.

I formerly thought that the characters by which the following species is distinguished were of sufficient importance to justify me in separating it from Eria as a particular genus^ for which I accordingly adopted Dr. Hamilton's manuscript name of Pinalia. Subsequent experience has how- ever led me to doubt the value of these characters unconnected with other differences^ and I have accordingly reduced the genus to a subgenus of Eria. I may however observe that the degree of developement of the viscid matter by which the pollen masses cohere is greater in Pinalia than in any other Malaxideous plant with which I am acquainted^ and that it exhibits an instance of a near approach to the cartilaginous gland of Vandes.

I know this geoua chiefly fay Bliime*fl figure md description. It seems to di£fer from Aporum Iq nothing but having two pollen masses instead of fqar« and in the presence of a tubercle below the tip of the lip on the under side. I have not been able to satisfy myself upon the first point, in exa- mining the flowers of Dr. Wallich's specimens of O. camosum ; but I presume Dr. Blume's observations, made upon fresh flowers are accurate as to this.

I originally considered this a species of AponuQ, not having been able to procure any flowers ; the examination of one or two withered blossoms has since enabled me to ascertain that it is the Oxystophyllum carnosum of Blume. Rumphius*s figure is characteristic.

When I published the type of this genus in my Collectanea Botanica, in 1831, 1 had seen only imperfect pollen masses ; one lying in each cell of the anther. Subsequently Dr. Hooker, in founding the genus in his Exotic Flora, represented them adhering to a common pedicel and gland, 4 in num- ber, and not lying side by side, but upon each other. Finally M. AchiUe Richard, in his account of the Mauritius Orchideous plants, states the number of pollen masses to be 2, without any stalls or gland. All these observations are however inaccurate, as I have recently satisfied myself

MAliA.XIDEJfi. DENDROBIBiB. 73

from an examination of good specimens sent from Ceylon by Mr. Macrae. Tlie pollen masses are in reality 4 in number and lie loosely side by side, two in each cell of the anther.

I refer this and the succeeding to Polystachya chiefly on account of their habit. It is however by no means clear to me what they really are. M.

There is also some peculiarity in the attachment of the pollen masses to the stigma which requires more investigation.

The most genuine form of Dendrobium is no doubt that of having cau* lescent stems with fascicles or racemes of membranous coloured flowers ; but there are insensible gradations from this into rbizomata having false- bulbs, and there are also species in which the flowers are by no means conspicuous and rather fleshy. From Bolbophyllum it is distinguished readily by its lip being always sessile, never unguiculate as in that genus, and also in the texture of the same part being almost always of nearly the same consistence as the sepals, while in Bolbophyllum it is always re- markably fleshy.

It appears to me that Blume's genera which I have here reduced to Dendrobium, have no characters to disting^sh them > unless Sarcostema be kept apart on account of a slight peculiarity in its pollen masses the nature of which however I do not well understand.

This beautiful species approaches nearer to the genus Bolbbphyllum than any with which I am acquainted. Its flowers are not exactly those of Dendrobium, the labellum being shaped differently from what is usual in that genus. It is however comprehended within the definition I have given of it, and will by no means enter Bolbophyllum with which it is its habit chiefly that accords.

The flowers vary in size according to the health of the individual -, they also are occasionally seen with the sepals and petals more acuminate than usual. A variety with stems spotted with purple is known in our hot houses.

There can be no doubt that the plant figured in the Exotic Flora as D. Pierardi, that cultivated in the Botanic Garden at Calcutta imder the same name, and the D. cucullatum of the Botanical Register, are all one and the same species. The latter exhibits D. Pierardi in the state in which it commonly appears in our stoves ; but whether the flowers appear fit>m among the leaves, or occupy the old leafless stems, depends not upon any specific diffierence, but upon the state of health of particular individuals.

Dr. Roxburgh says that the leaves of his D. Pierardi are emarginate and the flowers yellow. It is not impossible that he has confounded D. Pie- rardi, D. transparens and D. heterocapum, all which, although slightly different, are undoubtedly distinct.

This remarkable species would be referable to Dr. Blume*s Pedilonum if that genus were adopted. It has flowered in the Garden of the Horti- cultural Society, where I examined it. The structure of its stigma is highly curious, and unlike that of any other Orchideous plant with which I am acquainted. That part which Richard calls the rostellum, and through which impregnation takes effect is a two-lipped process, the lower lip of which is thick and abruptly truncate, the upper thinner^ very irritable, inflected when the pollen is humid, but curving back with considerable elasticity if afterwards touched. The whole of the orifice of the stigmatic canal is choked up with a thick mucus.

I am not sure that this remarkable oeconomy is not sufficient to con- stitute a particular genus i but I am unwilling to make use of it, especially as it is an obscure character, unless it shall be found that a similar struc- ture exists in other species which can be combined with it.

The habit of thb species is so peculiar that it is not likely to be con- founded with any other species. Its flowers have not been seen. The leaves of my dried specimens are glossy and beautifully marked with the longitudinal and transverse veins. The stems are as much as two feet long, while the leaves are only 1^ inch long and { inch broad.

This superb species flowers without its leaves in the Botanic Garden at Calcutta, in May. The blossoms exhale a faint smell resembling that of Rhubarb, as I learn from Dr. Wallich*s Mss.

This species approaches very nearly to Dendrobium moschatum, with which however Dr. Hooker does not contrast it. It appears to diflfer in the characters I have pointed out> especially in the absence of the 5 crested veins that are found in the inside of the lip of D. moschatum, which Dr. Hooker would no doubt have both figured and described had they existed in his D. Calceolaria.

Upon referring to Dr. Wallich's Mss. I find that his Dendrobium Cal- ceolus is the same as D. moschatum, and that he described it from Dr. Carey's Garden. It is therefore strongly to be suspected that this and D. moschatum are both the same.

This species is the most variable that I know in point of size. Some of Dr. Wallich's specimens are not more than an inch and half high> with two or three leaves and as many flowers on each individual, while others are six or seven inches high> with numerous distichous leaves, and three or four long nodding racemes, each consisting of eight or nine flowers. The species is always distinguishable by the loose membranous sheaths which clothe the stem when the leaves have fallen o£f.

This species resembles in many respects D. denudans, from which it is abimdandy distinguished by the loose sheaths of the fallen leaves not co- vering the stem, and by the peculiar form of the lip. My specimens are from 3 to 4 inches high. The flowers appear to be white.

MALAXIDBJB. DSNDROBIEJS« 93

I cannot conclude 1117 account of the tribe of Orchideous plants with waxy pollen-masses destitute of glands and other secreting apparatus^ wiUiout adverting to the genus An^scum. I adopted this genus^ some years nnce, from M. Du Petit Thouars^ and publisheid it in my Collectanea Botanica^ t. 15. referring to it a plant, A. maculatum, found equally in Brazil and on the West coast of Africa, and now very common in the hot- houses of England. I described the pollen masses of this plant as desti- tute of a gland, and my drawing was in conformity with that description* I subsequently examined an imperfect living specimen of a Sierra Leone plant which I believe to be the Limodorum Inridum of Afselius, and which is in all probability also an Angrsecum, and I took the pollen masses to be be as I had before seen them in my Angr. maculatum^ that is to say des- titute of a gland. In a memoir upon the Orchideous (dants of the Mau- ritius and neighbouring islands, published in 1828, M. Achille Richard, who has examined specimens of several of Du Petit Thouars's Angrae- cums^ expressly declares that in all these thereJs nQ.gland, he says he has not seen any thing like caudicula (which is never found without a gland) in any one of them. Hence it would seem that no fact can be supported by more conclusive testimony than that Angrsecum belongs to MalaxidecB; and yet this testimony I distrust so much that^ without absolutely reject- ing it, I cannot receive it ; and for the following reasons. In the first place, I now know that my observation upon A. maculatum was incorrect; that plant has distinctly both a caudicula and gland } secondly, Du Petit Thouars in some cases, as t. 81. (CEoma Juberti m.) distinctly represents the pollen masses wi^ glands, of which however M. Achille Richard cte- nies the existence. Now in this ease I prefer the evidence of M. Du Pietit Thouars whose figure was taken from a fresh specimen. In the third place, M. Ach. Richard states that there is no gland in Angrscnm gladu- folium } this happens to be the only Isle of France species I possess, and in my specimens I find a gland from wfUch the potlm mattes have faJEUn. FourUily, the manifest close affinity between the Isle of France Angneeums and the Limodorum falcatum of Japan* and my Aerantbes grandiflonrai> in both of which glands undoubtedly exist, persuades me that they are not really <Uffierent m structure, finally, the genus Angrsecnm has in some cases, as A. calceolus, caulescens, crassum, palmatum, &c. so completely the habit of the East Indian Aerides, that I feel great difficulty in beUer* ing them to be essentially different in the structure of their pollen masses.

Tbis question can (mly be decided by a carefol examination of good specimens, of which I am entirely destitute. I recommend the enquiry to those who are in possession of the requisite materials, or who are wilUng to oblige me by communicating them to me.

The distinction of this Tribe depends upon the peculiar state of the caudicula^ which is not transparent^ and connected with the stigma by means of a gland as in Vandeae, but powdery^ and very often turned back upon the fEice of the pollen masses. Some of the genera, such as Ceratium, in which this caudicula is very much reduced in size, approach Malaxidese; nevertheless the limits of the Tribe seem sufficiently well defined.

This most natural genus is unknown in the Old World. In its divi- sions I have followed M. de la Llave in distingtushing the pseudobulbous and caulescent species as two distinct tribes^ to which I have added a thirds characterized by its winged rachis. I know not how far the distinction between the species with a cuniculate ovarium, and those in which the labellum ends abruptly at the base of the column is important 3 but it is at present inapplicable to the genus, the circumstance not having been attended to in a great number of species.

This is known from E. ellipticum by the form of its leaves, by the lateral segments of the labellum being smaller than the middle one, by the upper scales of the aphyllous stem being somewhat foliaceous with a long rigid point, and if Mr. Loddiges's figure be correctly quoted, which I can scarcely doubt, by the lilac colour of its flowers.

This genus differs from Isocbilus chiefly in its labelium being large* membranous and extremely different in appearance from the petals ; and in these last, and the sepals being spreading not coonivent. It is distin- guished from Epidendrum by its short two horned labelium.

Anthera 4-locularis, sepds marginatis. Pollinia 4, collatcralia, caudiculis totidem revolulis. Herba epiphyta, pseudobulbosa, Epidendri facie, foliis coriaceis. Inflorescentia terminalis.

This genus differs from Cattleya in its small half-closed flowers, the labelium of which is posterior with a great callus at its base, and also in its panicled flowers \ otherwise it approaches it very nearly. From Epi- dendrum it cannot be distinguished either by its herbage, or inflorescence, and in its fructification is so similar to that genus that with the exception of its four celled anther, and cucullate labelium, it possesses no peculiar character. The posterior labelium is observed in many undoubted Epi- dendra, and in some species of the same genus the cohesion between the lip and the column is very slight. So slight indeed are the marks of dis- tinction between Encyclia and Epidendrum that Dr. Hooker's second species of the former (E. patens) unquestionably belongs to the latter genus \ see Epidendrum odoratissimum.

I adopt this species in deference to the opinion of Drs. Graham and Hooker^ not having had an opportunity of seeing the plant myself. From the beautiful figure of the latter^ it appears to differ from C. Loddigesii in nothing but having the middle lobe of the lip rounder^ and the disk stained with purple. No dependence is to be placed upon the proportion between the length of the scape and the peduncle ', that character being very much affected by the degree of vigour of the individual.

This genus differs essentially from Cattleya not only in its habit^ but also in the presence of a spur adhering to the ovarium^ and to the decur- rent front edge of the lateral sepals. It is true that the presence or absence of such a spur is accounted of no importance in Epidendrum, but in that genus it is unattended by other characters either of structure or habit.

Mr. Brown seems to be acquainted with other species of Broughtonia, but as I am in possession of no other than B. sanguinea I have not thought it advisable to retain his specific diagnosis. Tetramicra, which agrees with Broughtonia in its cuniculate ovarium, is I think essentially distinct.

Inflorescentia terminalis.

This genus differs from Cattleya in its small half-closed flowers, the labellum of which is iK)sterior with a great callus at its base, and also in its panicled flowers ; otherwise it approaches it very nearly. From Epi- dendrum it cannot be distinguished either by its herbage, or inflorescence, and in its fructification is so similar to that genus that with the exception of its four ceUed anther, and cuculiate labellum, it possesses no peculiar character. The posterior labellum is observed in many undoubted Epi- dendra, and in some species of the same genus the cohesion between the lip and the column is very slight. So slight indeed are the marks of dis- tinction between Encyclia and Epidendrum that Dr. Hooker's second species of the former (E. patens) unquestionably belongs to the latter genus \ see Epidendrum odoratissimum.

I adopt this species in deference to the opinion of Drs. Graham and Hooker^ not having had an opportunity of seeing the plant myself. From the beautiful figure of the latter^ it appears to differ from C. Loddigesii in nothing but having the middle lobe of the lip rounder^ and the disk stained with purple. No dependence is to be placed upon the proportion between the length of the scape and the peduncle ; that character being very much ailected by the deg^ree of vigour of the individual.

epiphyta^ pseudobulbosa^ foliis carnosis, scapo terminal! multifloro.

This genus differs essentially from Cattleya not only in its habit^ but also in the presence of a spur adhering to the ovarium* and to the decur- rent front edge of the lateral sepals. It is true that the presence or absence of such a spur is accounted of no importance in Epidendrum* but in that genus it is unattended by other characters either of structure or habit.

Mr. Brown seems to be acquainted with other species of Broughtonia, but as I am in possession of no other than B. sanguinea I have not thought it advisable to retain his specific diagnosis. Tetramicra* which agrees with Broughtonia in its cuniculate ovarium^ is I think essentially distinct.

The character of the ribs of the disk of the labellum being branched in this species, as stated by Mr. Brown in the Hortus Kewensis, is inconstant.

With regard to the union of Cymbidium altum with Cymbidium vere- cundum j the former was introduced by Wiildenow upon the supposition that its labellum was destitute of ribs^ and that the figure given by J. Burmann in his edition of Plumier was a faithful one at least in general character. It is however evident from Plumier*s drawings^ of which I have examined copies in Mr. Lambert's Herbarium^ that Burmann*s figure is execrable, and that the plant discovered by Plumier is in no re- spect different from Cymbidium verecundum.

Another blunder has been committed by the same Burmann and co- pied without comment by others, which is of less importance, but rather

mote curious. He makes Plumier call the ensiform leaves of this species lyrate ! In the collection of Plumier there are two drawings, one of the natural size^ the other reduced ; on one of them is written /o^ licatis, an obvious clerical error for plicatis ; on the other foUis liratis, a further mis- take of the same nature.

I bave some doubt wbetber tbe Chinese species now described is the same as Blume*s Arundina Chinensis. Of the peculiarities comprehended in his very brief diagnosis^ oue^ the nature of the lines upon the disk of the labellum^ cannot be ascertained in my specimens, and the other, the rounded form of the middle lobe of the limb, although in accordance with that of the plant before me, nevertheless not being connected with a refe* rence to the bipartite state of the same part, can by no means be said to be exactly recognized. I am however unwilling to create a new species out of materials so imperfect as mine.

In Dr. Wallich's Catalogue I committed what I now believe to have been an error^ in referring this to the Phaius grandifolius of Loureiro. In general appearance it bears much resemblance to it, but upon more full consideration I have come to the conclusion that the Sillet plant is to be distinguished by its very acuminate bractee, sepals and petals^ and also by the labellum not only having a point gradually tapering into a long point, as in Bnissavola nodosa, but being also destitute of the rich yellow and red marking of the Chinese species.

There must have been some mistake on the part of Mr. Aiton, when he communicated this fine plant to Dr. Hooker as a native of Trinidad. The Nipalese specimens in Dr. Wallich's possession are indeed imperfect^ but I have been permitted to examine a drawing in the possession of the East India Company, which supplies all deficiencies in the specimens, and which agrees entirely with the figure in the Botanical Magazine. I could not adopt Dr. Hooker*s name without perpetuating an error, and that of Dr. Wallich is preoccupied by Dr. Blume ; this will I trust be considered a satisfactory explanation of a new specific name having been applied.

Of the two species, of which this genus at present consists, one has the labellum completely calcarate, with no elongation of the base of the co- lumn 'y the other has it attached in a slight degree only to the elongated base, with which it forms a little sac 3 the latter has the pollen masses of equal size, and eight cavities in the anther for their reception -, the former has two pair of the pollen masses much less than the others, and only 6 cells in the anther, of which four are for the four larger masses, and two for the two smaller pairs. In this respect Ania approaches Ceratium which is however very different in other respects.

Tbe presence of tbe elastic or transparent strap called caudicula, wbicb separates along with the gland of the stigma about the period of impreg- nation, and forms a strict adhesion with the pollen masses, forms the dis- tinctive character of this tribe. In Epidendrese the caudicula is present, but in neither those nor in Malax ideae, the only tribes with which Vandese can be easily confounded, is there any separation of the gland from the stigma. In some genera of Vaudes such as Cymbidium, there is no dis- tinction between the caudicula and the gland ; but the spontaneous sepa- ration of the latter sufficiently indicates the real affinity of such genera. Through Calanthe we have a direct passage from Vandese to Ophrydese.

It is probable that this very extensive tribe is susceptible of subdivision into several tolerably well defined groups, of which Maxillaria, Cymbidlum, £ulophia, Masdevallia, Oncidium, Aerides, and Calanthe might be taken as the types. But it would be premature to attempt such a subdivision in the absence of more precise knowledge of the structure of a great number of species. I therefore propose, in the mean while, the following artificial table, OS a ready means of analysing such genera as I am at present ac- quainted with.

. This plant is a memorable instance of the danger of describing Orchid- eous plants from imperfect cultivated specimens. 1 first met with it in 1824, in Mr. Lee's Nursery at Hammersmith when I found the pollen masses, in the words of my notes at that time made, '' Unearia June crauhra, e granuU$ plurinm minutis angulatis filo axUi cofuerentibus.*^ I accordingly introduqed this character into the definition of the genus Heterotaxis, which in fact received its name because it was as it were of two different orders, being a Vandea in appearance and an Arethusea in structure. Subsequently in 1830 when I K>r the first time saw, in Mr. Bauer's Portfolio, an analysis of this same plant, its pollen was represented so differently that I did dot recognise it to be Heterotaxis, but took it for a new genus and called it Dicrypta. Mr Bauer had drawn the pollen masses as tour, lying in pairs one upon the other so that the external masses which are the lurgest con- cealed the internal ones, whence the name. Neither gland nor caudicula having been found by ICr. Bauer I refened the plant to Malaxidesd. My

.TANDBJB. 153

jBurprise then may be easily imagined when> about the end of January 1833, 1 saw in Mr. Bauer^s possession a drawing 6f the plant of Biorypta Baueri from which had been taken the analysis of the flower I had de- scribed, and recognised it to be my Heterotaxis crassifolia ; oor was thu sur- prise diminished when, upon the occasion of the species flowering in the Horticultural Society*s Garden on the 34th of April 1832, 1 finally ascer- tained that not only was my original descrip^on in 1834 wholly erroneous, but that Mr. Bauer's drawing, otherwise admirably correct, was wrong in

' representing the pollen-masses without caudicula or gland. I found them

JU> be seated upon a narrow short caudicula with a orbad narrow lunate gland ; and this is no doubt the true structure^

I am thus obliged to reproduce Dicrypta in its more correct position and to request that the genus may be erased from the station formerly as*

'sijped it amonff Malaxidess. I abolish the name Heterotaxis because it was given in mistake.

The fleshy stems are exactly those of Catasetum^ as are the leaves, exr cept that they are shorter. In the drawing I have examined, the flowers are represented in pairs from the i^ex of an erect scape about 9 inches high : they are fleshy, and of a deep uniform green, with a labellum that looks something like a hood drawn over a little ftce represented by the eoltimn.

C3fmbidium, as understood in this work, is no doubt made up of several Very different genera, the characters of which, from want of sufficient in- formation and the knowledge of a greater number of species, cannot be positively made out. I presume each section will be hereafter recognised as distinct, for which reason I have given ihem names which may be re- tained either as generic or sectional.

The first, or the Eucymbidia, are the genuine species, all of which have

two lamellse more or less distinctly shewn upon the lip Camaridium

might perhaps have been safely continued separate. Bolbidium is very

near Maxillaria. Angidium is altogether distinct, but I am not sure

that I have made out its characters rig,I)tly.

Swartz has well observed that this is distinguished from Oncidium tetrapetalum by its broader serrulated leaves, and its acuminate not ob- tuse sepals. For fine specimens gathered in Saint Domingo I am indebted to Charles Mackenzie, Esq.

Like many other species it varies remarkably in stature 5 the speci- mens in the Banksian Herbarium from Swartz are not half the' size of mine.

This very remarkable species has the habit of 0. variegatum, and teira- petalufn, from both which it is readily distinguished by the large lateral lobes of its labellum, and the cymbiforjfn upper sepal. Its crest is also essentially different, consisting of three narrow nearly equal collateral elevati call!, in front of which is placed a short tubercle.

Its flowers are pure white with a little orange about the crest of the lip. The column is pink.

This genus, as understood by the authors of the Flora Peruviana, cer- tainly comprehended species not only of Pachyphyllum and Dichsea, but also of Isochilus. Several of the species here introduced from the Systema Florae Peruvianee, are therefore doubtful, and are most likely repeated elsewhere ; for this reason I have not numbered them.

There is nothing in either the figure or description of Rumphius* A. furvum, that would not apply well enough to Vanda Roxburgh! ; but as it is impossible to say to which it belongs, without some Amboyna specimen, and as it may be different from either, I leave it as a mark to which future botanists may direct their attention.

This genus differs from Angrsecum in its usually shorter spur and longer column, and especially in its lobed lip which is almost always cucullate. The flowers are either ringent as in CEceoclades maculata, or spread flat as in many others. CRlceoclades will probably comprehend all the Eulophia- like epiphytes that have not a second perianthium and a crest at the bottom of the labellum 5 it is very near Eulophia, from which its coriaceous, not plaited leaves^ distinguish it among other things.

I formerly thought Du Petit Tbouars's Dendrobium arachnitis distinct from this, but a better acquaintance with the habits of tropical Orchide« has now induced me to cancel that supposed species.

At the time when I first distinguished this genus I knew it only from the figures and account of Du Petit Thouars i I consequently took his characters upon trust. At a subsequent period having procured the plant from Mr. Prescott, I found that the pollen masses and the caudicula were not as Du Petit Thouars had represented them, but as I have now de- scribed them. At the very period of sending this to press Dr. Hooker's excellent Botanical Miscellany has reached me, in which I have the satis- faction to find nearly the same structure represented as I had sketched in my herbarium and added to my notes some years since.

This genus, diseroharrassed as it now is of a very ]ai^ number of species^ appears to form a truly natural assemblage ^ and this being the case, I think we may well excuse the minute characters by which it is

OPHRYDEifi; 259

defined ; the more especially as those characters are easily discoverable on the recent plant by the most unskilful j and it is to be supposed that those vfho attempt to examine dried specimens have a sufficient degree of skill for such an operation.

Although the character taken from the number of glands to which the pollen masses adhere, is obscure^ and often difficult to determine in dried specimens^ yet it seems necessary to employ it, in order to exclude the Satyrium hircmum of Linnsus, which is evidently a near ally in nature of Aceras anthropophora. Dr. Brown, indeed, retained the former species in Orchis, and he has been followed by myself in the Synopsis of the British Flora, and by Dr. Hooker in his British Flora. Nevertheless, considering the evident trace of a spur in Aceras anthropophora, the shortness of that of Satyrium hircinum, the complete accordance of these two species in other respects, and especially the evident unimportance of the spur, when very short, in Hertninium, I think it most advisable, after a careful examination of all the species I know, to adopt Richard's idea of the genus Himantoglos' ium ; a name, however, that I cannot, in common with continental writers, prefer to the more ancient one of Aceras ; which can hardly be said to be objectionable because some species have spurs, inasmuch as such species form the exception to the general rule.

It is usual to divide the species by the structure of their roots, a cha** racter unemployed in a similar manner in any other genus. Independently of the inconvenience of being unable, by such a mode of division, to arrange species^ or determine specimens, the roots of which are unknown, there is the additional disadvantage in employing the roots for a principle of divi« sion, that very unnatural groups are formed > for example, 0. sambucma is separated from 0. pollens, &c. &c.

A better distinction exists in the direction of the sepals^ of which either aU converge, forming a sort of helmet, whence they may be called MUitares, or the two lateral sepals diverge, as in 0. mascula and its allies. By this means the genus is divided into two groups, each of which is so natural^ that it may almost be doubted whether they are not distinct genera.

I have placed in this section all the species in which the laceration of the margin of the lip, of whatever degree, does not regularly take the form of three distinct and well defined lobes. And I have referred to the next section all those which, like O. pallens and sambucina, have often a nearly entire lip, but with a manifest tendency to divide into three lobes.

It is after a most careful examination of specimens that I have deter- mined upon corobiniDg the above supposed species. Although they do appear in extreme cases to be distinct, I nevertheless am quite at a loss for any precise character by which they can be defined with anything like

certainty. 0. rmen/a of Flora Danica has smaller flowers than what I have

considered the true 0. latifolia, and its spur is perhaps a trifle longer -, but the latter circumstance can^ I think, be esteemed but of slight importance in

a case where the habit of both is so very similar. Of the 0. cruenta of

Reichenbach I have seen authentic specimens from Mount Sarko in Hungary, in the Herbarium of Dr. Von Martins j they agree precisely with specimens gathered in Nordland by Sommerfclt, and preserved in Dr. Lehmann*s collection, and seem to me a more Alpine or Northern state of O. latifolia ; indeed^ with the exception of the rather shorter bracts, and more conical spur, I can make out nothing like a specific character for it ; and I find all that relates to the spur and lip so much subject to variations, between which no limits can be seen, that I am compelled, in this

species, to pass them by. O. Hatagirea is, I conceive, the Indian form

of the species ; it has entirely the habit of the European 0. latifoUa, and, like it, seems to produce a smaller flowered form, which may be compared to 0. cruenta ; its lip is sometimes rounds and scarcely lobed, sometimes slightly three-lobed : in Mr. Royle*s Herbarium is a suite of specimens completely connecting both those states.

In Smithes Herbarium is a specimen gathered near Tangier by Durand, which is very like this species in a gigantic state ; but which has the lip three-lobed, as in 0. maculata, and is possibly O.foliosa,

It is probable that this plant varies in other ways. I have a Russian specimen, which has a rhomboidal crisped lip, with the habit of 0. sam-' bucina, and which is either this or a new species 3 and I have a thing fron> Irkutsk which, without being exactly O. latifolia, is not O. maculata,

I quote Reichenbach*s figure upon his own authority ; but I must con- fess it is very unlike the plant I have described, for which I am indebted to Baron Jacquin.

My specimens of this plant from Baron von Jacquin have altogether the habit of O. mascula ; from which, however, they seem to differ essentially in the very taper pointed sepals, and in the form of the lip. It may, how- ever, be doubted whether it is anything more than a variety of O. mascula.

Quite distinct from O. cimicina, in its long sepals, which form a compact upper lip, and in the long spur, which is fully equal to the lip in length. It does not dry of the sooty colour of 0. dmicina ; and its flowers are sweet scented. Reichenbach distinguishes three varieties, but they are of no importance. Steven {Observ. in PL Rossicas. p. 64) seems to consider O. cassidea distinct from O. coriophora; whence I conclude that by the latter name he means O. cimicina, which is, therefore, found in Iberia and Caucasus.

As it appears from the Linnean Herbarium that the true O. coriophora is what is usually called O. fragrans, I have restored the name O. cimicina to this.

Reichenbach correctly observes that this is often confounded with O. longicomis 5 especially in herbaria. It is a much larger plant, with a

OPHRYDEiB. 369

very broad lip, the lateral segments of which are always wider than the middle one, and deeply notched. The flowers vary from dark purple to pink or white -, and, although spotted with crimson on a white ground in the middle of the lip, are by no means so gaily variegated as O. longicornis.

The small size of the lip» and the greater width of its middle than lateral lobes, taken together with the inflated apex of its long spur, abundantly dis* tinguish this species. The French and Swiss specimens are paler than those from the south of Europe. In the genuine state of the species^ as it occurs in Barbary and the south of Italy, the two lateral lobes of the lip are intensely purple and separated by a well defined line of colour from the middle lip } but in the varieties /3. and y. the purple is no darker than what is seen in O. morio. No two species can well be more distinct than this and O. morio, if they are once correctly understood.

Keichenbach combines this with O. globosa ; but it differs not only in the characters above mentioned, and in its white flowers* but also in its much narrower bracts, more aristate sepals, which never terminate in a blunt appendage, and in its broader and shorter labellum.

I do not perceive upon what ground tbis species has been referred to Nigritella. As limited by Richard, that genus is perfectly natural ; but if its character is extended to receive this, it must then be merged in Orchis. The truly posterior labellum of Nigritella is very different from that of O. globosa, which is as often anterior as posterior, and has all the fleshiness of Orchis.

There can, I think, be little doubt that the synonyms above quoted are rightly referred to this plant ; it seems to me quite impossible to depend upjn minute differences in the structure of the lip for the discrimination of species, and it is only in such circumstances that it has been pretended to distinguish them. O. galeata approaches O. variegata in the form of its lip, but it wants the long bracts of the latter species, and has altogether the habit of O. militaris. Of O. hybrida 1 have met with no specimen ; and I should have suspected it to be rather a form of O. tephrosanthos, if Reichenbach had not compared it, on the one hand, with O. fusca^ and od

It is scarcely possible to find any very precise limits between this genus and Platanthera ; nor is there any character that can be trusted, except the plicature of the rostellum and the parallel contiguous bases of the anther- cells. Even the stigmatic processes of Habenaria and its allies are to be remarked in almost every species of Gymnadenia ; only in most cases in adhesion with the stigma itself.

I have no hesitation in considering the 0. omithis of Jacquin a mere white-flowered variety ; it appears from Mayrhofer that it has never been seen since three specimens were gathered in 1774 on Mount Schneeberg ; and it is evident that its real distinction from G. conopsea consists in its supposed oval and undivided tubers ; but it is more probable that the figure in the Flora Austriaca is inaccurate in this respect, than that the species should, if it really exists, have never been rediscovered for more than half a century.

It is impossible to reconcile the two foregoing accounts of this plant.

It appears from the researches of Dr. Booit^ that Orchis claveUuta and tridentata ought probably to be reduced to one species. This gentleman has been so obliging as to fiivour me with the fbUowing note upon the subject.

278 OPHRYDEJE.

*' I have specimens of 0, clavellata from Nuttal^ marked ou his ticket ' 0. tridentata,* and on reference to his book I find he gives it as a Tariety of 0. clavellata^ not admitting, therefore^ Michaux's plant ^ labello integro/ as observed by himself.

*' Elliott quotes 0. tridentata as a synonym of his O. clavellata, and, giving Michaux's character, as the specific one, says, from his own obser- vation, that the labellum is ^ slightly three-toothed at the summit.*

'' Willdenow merely copies Michaux for 0. clavellata,

** I suspect, therefore, that there is an error in Michaux*8 description of the plant, viz. that he has overlooked the toothed extremity of the label- ^ lum, and that his specimen was small, which his ' scapo unifolio* leads me to suspect.

**• Eaton, in his Manual, gives 0. tridentata as a synonym of 0. clavellata ; and I observe in a Catalogue of Plants made in Kentucky by Dr. Short, that he has the 0. tridentata, a situation near Elliott's habitat for his 0. cla' vellata ,* viz. ' the middle and upper districts of Georgia and Carolina.*

*' All this amounts to a probability of the tridentata being the same as Michaux's plant. If distinct, it would seem no one has met with the true clavellata since Michaux, not even Elliott.*'

At first sight this genus would seem to be the same as a section of Habenaria proposed by Dr. Brown in his Prodromus, p. SIS, and cha- racterized by having the bases of the anther united lengthwise to the column ; and for a long time I so regarded it. But as the bases of the anther are, in all undoubted Habenarias, united to the stig^atic canals, this character falls to the ground \ and the genus has to depend upon another distinction, to which I can discover no exception ^ namely, to the absence of the fleshy processes of the lower lip of the stigma. Otherwise, Platanthera is the same as Habenaria. The species may be very naturally arranged as under.

This plant is well defined by Willdenow ) but it appears to be little known to the writers on North American botany, who apparently mistake for it what I conceive is a white variety of PI. ciliaris. In many respects it is very like that species ; but its flowers are smaller^ the raceme is much more compact, the lip is flat, ovate-oblong, with short and nearly simple cilise, and the anther is at least as tall as it is broad, while that of P. dUaris is always, as far as I have seen, very much depressed, so as to be greatly broader than tall.

This genus differs from Platantbera in having the glands of the pollen masses concealed by the inflexed points of the stigmatic canals, which thus form an imperfect pouchy and in the enlarged projecting upper lip of the stigma or rostellum. Gymnadenia Chusua approaches it in structure, but the cells of the anther of that species are parallel and contiguous.

As limited by Dr. Brown, this genus was conflned to H, tnonorchis, and was characterized by the naked glands of the pollen masses, and the spur- less labellum. Richard adopted Dr. Brown's views, but added the flat rostellum to its character. But, the labellum of H. monorchis being dis- tinctly saccate, the genus might be considered to represent a group of species in which, as in Aceras, a short spur may be expected to occur : and in reality, upon studying the exotic Ophrydeae, it is impossible not to

OPHRYDBifi. 905

observe that there is a number of plants resembling H, monorchu in habit, but differing in having a short and, usually, inflated spur. In some respects it might be advisable to combine all these plants under one generic name ; and I formerly thought of adopting this plan 3 but upon a more mature consideration of the numerous unpublished species with which I have since become acquainted^ I have been obliged to abandon the opinion. This point settled, the next question naturally was, are they to be placed in Platanthera ; with which they may easily be made to combine techni- cally. There is, however, a certain peculiarity of appearance in the cal- carate Herminia which is unfavourable to their combination with Pla- tanthera ; and, upon the whole, I have at last made up my mind that the best course to take is to adopt Blume's genus Peristylus for all the plants that would be Herminia if they had not a spur, confining the latter genus to the absolutely spurless species.

Chamorchis of Richard has undoubtedly a folded rostellum -, but at the same time the plicature exists in so very inconsiderable a degree, and the plant agrees so neariy with true Herminia in habit^ that I am not willing to consider it distinct.

As now limited, this extensive genus comprehends all the species of Ophrydes with a small rostellum, naked glands, and a long spur, provided they have two fleshy processes of the stigma projecting from the back of the mouth of the spur. I formerly intended to define the genus in an- other manner ^ but a very careful re-examination of every species to which I have access convinces me that these are the surest characters we can depend upon.

I know no plant which will answer to Swartz*s description of 0. mo* norhiza in the Flora India Occidentalis. West Indian botanists often take Habenaria maculosa for it 5 but that species has two parted petals. Others consider this to be his plant, but it has a simple lip ; yet in VahUs Her- barium is a specimen of this from Swartz himself marked O. monorhiza. In all probability he confounded the two, for both are common Jamaica plants ; thej are, however, essentially different, as may be seen by com- paring the descriptions.

This very distinct genus differs from Habenaria in having a curious, horny^ channelled, recurved tooth> arising from the anterior edge of the orifice of the spur, and curved down upon the lip : its use is unknown to me. On account of its situation it cannot be considered analogous to the little appendage we find at the base of the lip of H. crinifera and steno' petala ; whatever it may be, it is an organ so very highly developed^ that, considering the great length of the sterile stamens^ and the peculiar habit of this plant, 1 think we must admit it as a good generic character.

I understand the tubercle at the base of the tip of Disa, &c to be the anterior stigma, which is usually rudimentary or suppressed, in a perfect state, the two posterior lobes being in this case abortive. The generic characters of Monadcnia, Schizodium, Penthea, &c. sufficiently explain this.

I know no plant to which the definitions of Swartz and Thunberg exactly apply.

Several very distinct species appear to have been mentioned under the name of Disa torta, so that it is not possible to tell from descriptions or definitions to which the name has been applied. I have therefore quoted no synonym to the majority of the species, but have placed them under the genus,

Schizodium differs from Disa in its very peculiar habit> in the form of the labellum, and in the nearly constant lobing of the petals. The species are defined chiefly by the characters of their flowers.

Mr. Harvey distinguished this plant from Pterygodium in a letter to Sir W. Hooker under the expressive name of Hippopodium (atratum) -, but I had already received it from Prof. Lehmann^ with £cklon*s name of Ce- ratandra, which priority requires that I should adopt. The specific name atratum is best suppressed, as it is common to the whole genus, and the black colour when dried is one of the marks by which it is generally dis- tinguished from Pterygodium.

I only know this curious plant from a drawing and description by Mr. Harvey, in the possession of Sir W. Hooker. It is represented as growing about six inches high, with green sepals, and all the other parts of the flower yellow. The dilatation of what I presume to be either the arms of the stigma or the rostellum^ is very remarkable, and led Mr. Harvey to consider it distinct from Ceratandra and Pterygodium, naming it Calota capensis ; but it is in all other circumstances, so far as I can judge from the drawing, as well as in habit, so entirely a Ceratandra that I do not think it expedient to separate it. It forms however a good section of this genus, for which the name Calota might have been retained if we had not already a Calotis, and for which that of £vota, a word with the same meaning, has been substituted.

370 OPHRYDE^.

union of the lateral sepals loses its value by means of D. iripetaUndes in which they are separate 5 the want of an appendage to the lip, which is a character ef D. oppositifoUa, is of no importance because of the presence of an appendage in D, tripetaloides, and moreover the genus Ceratandra for- bids us to attach consequence to this circumstance. If the structure of Dryopeia were really such as is described by Ach. Richard, it would doubtless be a genus perfectly distinct from Disperis ; but I presume there is some error in the description published by that learned botanist.

The description of this plant given by Ach.

The petals, which he calls " minima," I find as long as the upper sepal and pressed close to it j the divaricating and lengthened bases of the anther are, I presume^ the cartilaginous arms of the stigpna.

After mucb consideration^ and a careful examination of a large pro- portion of tbe species bereafter described, I bave come to tbe conclu- sion tbat Gastrodieie, a section first limited by Dr. Robert Brown, are not to be considered of tbe same importance as tbe otber tribes ad- mitted in tbis book, but as a mere section of Aretbuseae. In like man- ner my Vanillacese lose tbeir distinctive character through Cyrtosia of Blume, which, till it was published in the Rumphia with a figure, I had supposed to be a genus of Malaxidese.

Confined within the limits now proposed, Aretbuseae form a distinctly marked tribe of Orchidaceae, passing into Ophrydeae through Gastrodieae, and especially the genus Ceratopsis, and into Neottieae by Microtis. The genus Cyrtostylis may be considered an analogue of Liparis among' Malaxi- deae, and Limodorum of Orchis in Ophrydeae. Sobralia and Cyutboglottis represent the Evelyna of Epidendreae ; but I find nothing that can be compared with any known genus of Vandeae, taking both flowers and leaves together. The nearest approach is apparently through Geodorum to Cephalanthera.

396 ORCUIDACEiE.

The following are Mr. Gunn's notes upon the plants, which I have for the present regarded as varieties of each other.

When collecting the various kinds of Microtis, during a period of two or three months, in an immense number of localities,! imagined I perceived ob- vious differences in the size of the upper sepals, the lip, and other parts, but when dried, the change of colour and shrivelled state, from their usual succulent appearance, alters them so much, that I candidly confess myself puzzled.

The variety /3. is common at Circular Head, flowering in all November ; soil a light loam, approaching to sandy. It is very difficult to dry, many being two months. Numerous specimens threw out a small tuber at the bottom, in the papers. The number of species of Microtis are more nu- merous than I at first supposed, and I anticipate many other species in other parts of the colony.

5. Microtis arenaria.

I formerly included this genus among Malaxidese, partly on account of its resemblance in habit to Liparis, and partly because of the firmness of the pollen masses. Its relation to Cyrtostylis is however so great, and the cohesion between the particles of pollen is so slight that it seems better upon the whole to place it here. There can, however, be no doubt that this genus^ and Cyrtostylis, connect the sections of Arethusese and Malaxidese, as I have already stated, p. 25.

This plant, of which I have only seen one solitary specimen, agrees exactly with Feuill^e*s figure, and is certainly distinct from all the others now mentioned. It approaches nearest to C barbata, from which it differs both in habit and in the 7 central veins of the lip only being crested, in the veins of the petals being very much less varicose, and in the Up having no tubercles at the base.

ARETHUSE^. 401

This plant varies in the form of the lamellee^ which crest the middle of the lip, and in their size, and is perhaps a mere variety of C. multiflora, of which it has all the habit; but its labellum is very differently formed.

It is probably the plant whose lip is represented at fig. 3, t. 55, of Poppig*s book as a variety of his C. dedpiens, ray C. multiflora, and I presume it also includes the j3 and y of this celebrated botanist.

According to Poppig, this plant is very variable in the size and colour of the flowers, which are in some varieties white, in others yellow, and also in the height of the scape and the form of the lip -, of such supposed varieties he enumerates 5. But I have stated under the last species that his /3 and y appear to belong to C. lamellata, and I believe his c is C. crispa, a most distinct plant.

According to a note by Mr. Mathews in my herbarium, this is the Pica de Loro of the Chilenos.

This also would probably be regarded by Poppig as a variety of C. mul' tiflora : its lip is however so different, that I cannot think it right to join them. It is possibly his C. decipiens ^, " floribus candidis, labello magis anguloso, cristis elevatis ancipitibus apice setigeris,** which he himself sus- pects to be a distinct species.

A dwarf species, with the leaves acute and as long as the scape. I sus- pect C. alpina is the same, for although P5ppig expressly states tliat beyond the 5 or 7 crests of the lip, which are continuous, there are no glandular appendages in that plant, yet some tubercles are represented in his fig. 2, as existing upon the middle lobe, and the habit of the two species is exactly the same.

When I proposed the genus Asarcn, in Brande's Journal, I intended it to contain those Chlorsea-like Chilian plants whose sepals are destitute of a thickening at the apex. But an examination of more species, and the evidence afforded by Poppig*s work, has satisfied me that this distinction is not sufficiently constant or important for the purpose to which I applied it. Among the Chlorceas I meant to include the Gavilu of Feuill^ t. 18, with a short column, and spreading flowers, and some congeneric species actually were included. These Poppig has rightly separated, under the name of Asarca, and he has g^ven figures of several of them. It is to be

ARETHUSE^. 407

regretted that be did not persevere in retaining for them the name Gavilea, as he appears to have in the first instance intended ; but although his Asarca and mine are different, and the name does not apply to his genus, yet I am unwilling to increase the confusion of names by making further change, and therefore I adopt this excellent Botanist's nomenclature, and abandon my own. The error of POppig seems to have arisen from his having supposed the Serapias Gavilu of Pavon's herbarium, quoted by me as a synonym of Asarca speciosa, to be the same genus 'as the Gavilu of Feuill^e.

It is also to be observed thut Poppig describes the back sepal of his A. parviflora as being fornicate, and the sepals as being half united to the back of the column, none of which characters are to he found in this species.

Of the original species of this genus I know nothing more than is to be found in Aublet. It does not however appear to differ from those I have examined, in anything more than its labellum being short and three lobed, to the latter of which characters there is an approach in C parviflora. It is probable that Guayana contains other species, of which I have some indi- cations, but not sufficient for publication.

A beautiful plant with flowers of a lively rose colour and 2) inches long. Mr. Schomburgk gives me the following note upon this plant made during his stay in Guayana.

" I found this pretty species at the Savannahs adjacent to the lake Capooey, Arabisee Coast of Essequibo^ where it appeared to be in great abundance. It is from 3 to 5 feet high, its leaves lanceolate, acate, amplexicaul, marginate, smooth, entire -, the scape terete and smooth ; leaves and scape glaucous ; the flowers in the bosom of the leaf. There is a gland where the flowerstalk is connected with the scape. The sepals are recurved, greenish outside, lake coloured inside, the floral envelopes a lilac approaching pink ; at the base of the crested lip there are two ovate glands of a whitish colour ; it is likewise remarkable for a hairy canal with which the column appears to be connected ; The column is white and appears almost succulent. The tuber is oblong and as fiur aa I have observed uni-gemmiparous.

In Mr. Gunn*8 no. 606. the middle lobe is only serrated and much longer than the lateral ones; in his no. 912 the same part is deeply cut at the edge, and so little longer than the side ones as to give the lip almost a cuneate figure.

The var. /J is a more dwarf plant, with larger flowers, shorter and broader sepals, more hairy leaves, and the disk of the lip below the apex manifestly tuberculated. In this latter respect C.

Upon this singular plant Mr. Gunn has favoured me with the following note. '* This is a most curious species. When expanded, the top is erect, resembling as my men said, the lid of an antique pewter pot ; but the least shake made it close downwards with a sudden spring, so that when first collected, not aware of this peculiarity, I believed the upper parts of the flowers to have been knocked off. With the greatest care 1 could only get three or four specimen^ into my paper without the lids closed. The irritable part appeared to be the lower part of the hinge, OS I tried many with ends of a straw. The colour is a dark red, pretty well preserved in drying. To me the whole looked not unlike a bird's head and body."

The only specimens of this plant which I have met with are from Brazil, and they perfectly agree with Plumier's figure on which the species is founded. I do not however find that the leaves are more ribbed than io other species, and it does not appear that any of the Brazilian Vanillas form the substance known in trade. A kind of Vanilla is said to be preserved in sugar in Brazil and used in the country, or occasionally sent to Lisbon, but it is not fit to dry for the purpose of commerce. Can this be Schiede's F. Pom- pona, no, \\} It is certainly to be suspected that V. aromatica has nothing to do with the fruits of commerce.

Whether or not it is one of the kinds seen in Cayenne by Aublet, it is not possible for roe to determine.

BayniUa Pompona Hupano^Mexicmnorum, Hab. in Mexico ; Papantls et Colipe.

In the form of leaves this almost agrees with V. sativa, the fruit is the largest of all, rich in ethereal oil and with an agreeable odour; yet as it will not dry, but always remains soft, it cannot be transmitted to Europe as an article of commerce.

12. Vanilla inodora ; foliis ovali- vel ovato-lanceolatis membranaceis, floralibus maximis^ fructibus bisulcatis inodoris.

Baynilla de pnerco MisantUrmum,

Hab. in Mexico, Misantlse.

A very distinct species ; with insipid fruit.

There is also a Vanilla de mono, cultivated in Mexico. The Baynilla meitixa is nothing but a sample of fruit intermediate between that of F, sativa and V, sylvestris. For further particulars concerning this fruit see the Linnaa and the Rumphia at the places quoted.

Vanilla angustifolia. fVilld. sp, pi. 4. 121, founded upon Angurek«wama Kampf, amcm, t, 869./. 1. is a Javanese, not a Japanese plant, and, ac- cording to Blume> (Rumphia 1. 197)> must be removed from the genus.

By GEORGE DON, F.L.S.

P.S. The only Complete Catalogue of Plants without Supplements*

" It certainly is the most complete and useful Catalogue that has yet appeared, as, in one line, it gives the systematic and English names, where described, of what country it is native, the year introduced, the months when in flower, whether hardy or tender, ita duration, and reference to the bo<^ in which it is figured ; and where any names have been lately changed, a synonym is given in Italics, to shew what it is changed from. It also contains nearly double the number of Plants contained in any other Catalogue that we have seen ; so that, on the whole, we believe it could not have been more complete. In our opinion, the arrangement a^ording to the natural system is far preferable to that of an artificial one, parti- cmarly for cultivators ; and on this account the present work should be in the hands of all gardeners and cultivators of plants ; and the reference to the figiuea will also render it very useful to the botanist. — Gentleman's Magazine.

* * In Mr. Herbert's Monograph of Amaryllidaces, the coiltivator will find a multitude of invaluable directions as to the proper management of that beautiful tribe of plants ; and what renders such remarks the more acceptable to the horti- cultural world, is their being invariably the result of long personal experience.

THE FOSSIL FLORA OF GREAT BRITAIN ;

" This excellent work has now reached the eighteenth number, and, as we un- derstand, draws near to its completion. The numbers contain about ten plates each, which are carefully drawn, and beautifully engraved. The plants are named and described ; their analogies to existing species pointed out ; their localities in- dicated. When the number of plates, and their accuracy and beauty is consi- dered, its price is very moderate, — the charge for the whole, as far as it has gone, sot much exceeding four pounds. It is the first work in which any account approach- ing to completeness of the Fossil Flora of Oreat Britain has been given. * ** To the Geologist it is indispensable. The Botanist must find it instructive ; and to all liberal and and enquiring minds it presents interesting matter for reflection, as a record of extinct races of organized bodies, throwing light on the state of the Globe myriads of years before man existed. • • •" — Scotsman, Oct. 7, 1835.

** This work is an important contribution to the science of British, and, indeed, of universal geology ; and, we trust, will be so patronized by the scientific me^of our country, as to cause it to be proceeded in with spirit and satisfaction bv its authors and proprietors.* * * The preface is a rich and valuable essay on Fossil Botany." — Loudon* s Magazine of Natural History, jtr.

THIS WORK

IS GRATEFULLY INSCRIBED

IN TESTIMONY OF THE HIGH RESPECT

AND

VERY SINCERE ESTEEM

OF

THE AUTHOR.

(June, 1830.)

PREFACE.

This work^ which has been ten years in execution^ would have been long since brought to a close had the subject been less diffi- cult, or one which demanded less exact examination. It has, how- ever, proved a most laborious task to examine with the necessary care so large a number of plants of a very intricate structure, in a dried state; and the author's other engagements have left him little leisure for the steady prosecution of this enquiry, so that it has been impracticable to advance with greater speed.

This explanation is due to those friends of science whose collec- tions have been entrusted to the author for all this long period. He regrets, however, to add that, during the ten years that have elapsed since the appearance of the first part of the work, his materials for the classification of Malaxese, Epidendrese, and Van- dese, have so much increased by the acquisition of species in his herbarium, or by the introduction of living plants to the gardens of Europe, as to render a reconsideration of those tribes indispen- sable. This will take place in a Revision of the Order, which is even now in preparation, and which, if his life is spared, may be expected to appear about two years from this time, illustrated with numerous figures of genera. In that work will be incorporated all the author's recent acquisitions, with such others as, in the mean- while, may be sent him; and an attempt will be made to sub- divide the other tribes, upon the same principles as have been adopted in the classification of Neottese. The author will be very grateful for assistance ; but he finds it necessary, in consequence of the great numbers of dried plants sent him for determination, to be returned to the owners, to condition that, from this time for- ward, with the exception of those in his hands at the present time, he shall not be expected to return the dried plants, which his correspondents may send for names, but that he shall have full

VI PREFACE.

liberty to incorporate them with his own herbarium, unless some express arrangement is made to the contrary. For it is unjust that he should sacrifice his time to this kind of enquiry, merely to satisfy the curiosity of those who are unable to determine Orchidaceous plants for themselves. The author will, however, in all cases quote in the intended " Revision** of the order, the numbers attached to the specimens sent to him and preserved by him ; so that if those, who are so obliging as to communicate them, will preserve dupli- cates with similar numbers, they will be able, when that work appears, to ascertain what their plants have proved to be.

In the prosecution of his task thus far, the author has received from numerous quarters most essential assistance. He is, how- ever, still in great want of communications from some parts of the world, as will be seen by the following geographical arrangement of the evidence upon which his knowledge of species has been formed.

European species have been supplied by many botanists, espe- cially by the late Baron Jacquin, Professors Tineo and Tenore, Dr. Hornschuch, and Messrs. Bentham, Talbot, Strangways, &c.

Those of Siberia and Northern Asia were furnished by the late lamented Mr. Prescott, whose access to Russian herbaria enabled him to procure severid species, of which nothing has been seen elsewhere. Materials have been also communicated by Dr. Fischer, Professors Ledebour and Bunge, and others ; but more information is still required for the species of the Southern pro- vinces of Russia, and of the more easterly provinces of that power in Asia,

Of North American species there are few which have not been carefully examined. Those of the United States and Canada have been given to the author by Mr. Menzies, Drs. Torrey, Asa Gray, and Booth, and by Sir W. Hooker ; others have been purchased. In addition he has examined the valuable collections formed in Cali- fornia and North West America, for the Horticultural Society, by Douglas, and in Texas and Carolina by Drummond. For Mexican species considerable materials have been furnished by the ample collections of Earwinski, in the Royal Museum of Munich ; of Deppe and Schiede, communicated by Professor Schlectendahl ; of Hartweg, and others; and by the large importations of living plants into this country. But a considerable number of species described by Llave and Lexarza, have as yet escaped observation, and remain for future determination. Information concerning them is greatly needed.

PRKFACE. Vll

For Central America the materials at the disposal of the author have been less copious, considering the great richness of those countries in plants of this natural order ; and yet they have been considerable. The species of Peru, collected by Mathews, of Quito and the Quitinian Andes gathered by Professor Jameson and the late Col. Hall, and preserved in the herbarium of Sir W. Hooker, and a few others have yielded the greater part of the in- formation in the possession of the author; for the diflSculty of com- munication between England and these parts of the world, for the present, forbids the acquisition of many species in our gardens. It will, therefore, be found that many of the specie&^of Humboldt and Bonpland, of Ilanke, Poppig, and the authors of the Flora Peruviana, still remain to be examined by the author. Of the latter, however, a portion has been found in the collection of Mr. Lambert.

The East coast of equatorial America and the West Indies are more completely investigated. Our gardens are rich in species from those parts of the world, and herbaria are less deficient in them. A great quantity of information has been furnished by the collections of Mr. Schomburgk in Tortola and British Guayana; of Martin in French Guayana, for whose plants the author is indebted to Mr, N. B. Ward, and of various Botanists in differ- ent parts of the West Indies. There are, however, many of the old species of Swarte, about which no evidence seems to exist in this country ; for it is certain that the Flora of Jarnaica is less known to Botanists of the present day than that of India, Few collections of dried plants would present greater botanical interest now than those of Jamaica and St. Domingo, from the mountains.

For the Brazilian Flora the author has had the advantage of consulting the large collections brought home by Dr. Von Martins, and the drawings by Descourtilz in the possession of Baron Ben- jamin Delessert; but, unfortunately, both these sources of informa- tion were supplied after the publication of the Vandeee; great additions have, therefore, still to be made in Brazilian plants to both the genera and species of Malaxeae, Epidendreap, and Vandeee, all which will be introduced into the " Revision" already alluded to. Fortunately, however, our gardens are particularly rich in Brazilian Orchidaceas; and the collections of Salzmann at Bahia, of Forbes, Douglas, G. Don, Macrae, Gardner, and other travellers, together with specimens brought home by Russian botanists, and procured for the author by Mr. Prescott, have placed a considerable mass of materials within the author's reach.

via PREFACE.

Chile and the parts of South America beyond the tropic have been well investigated by Douglas, Cuming, Mathews^ Cruckshanks^ Bridges, Tweedie, Gillies and others, all of whose collections have been carefully studied 3 but there are many of the species mentioned by Poppig, which the author has never seen.

The North of Africa possesses few species of this order not common to the South of Europe, Salzmann's collections from Tangiers, Dr. Leman's in Madeira, some kinds met with by Bovd near Algiers, and Mr. Webb's Canary herbarium have furnished the author with the greater part of them.

His knowledge of the species of Tropical Africa is principally derived from plants found by G. Don at Sierra Leone, a few from Cape Coast Castle and the Isle of France in the Herbarium of Sir W. Hooker, some Madagascar species gathered by Dr. Lyall, and preserved in the same rich magazine, and from the English gardens, where several have from time to time produced their flowers. The author has not, however, been so fortunate as to meet with much to elucidate the obscure species of Du Petit Thouars, from the Isle of France, Bourbon, and Madagascar, and he earnestly solicits {assistance with respect to those islands.

Of Cape species his examination has been pretty complete. The beautiful plants found by Mr. Drege and most admirably preserved, have been placed at his disposal by that liberal botanist ; besides which he has been able to study the species of Dr. Burchell, communicated by himself, of Mr. Harvey, of Forbes, of Ecklon, and of some of the older collectors preserved in the herbaria of Vahl, Horncmann, and Lehmann, for which he has been indebted to the two last eminent naturalists.

In the warmer parts of Asia, copious materials have been furnished. Ceylon species in abundance were communicated by the late Mr. Macrae, besides which the herbarium formed by Col. Walker in that island has been consulted. The vast collections of botanists, travelling under the patronage of the East India Com* pany, have been most liberally given up to unrestricted examination by the Honourable Court of Directors of the East India Company ; besides which the author has been largely indebted to the private friendship of Drs. Royle, Wallich, and Wight, and of Mr. Griffith. By these means the Flora of the Himalaya, of a great part of Hindostan, of Burma, Assam, and some parts of the Malayan Archipelago, has been extensively incorporated hi this work. It is, however, a subject of great regret to the author that the

PREFACE. IX

OrchidaceiB of Java^ Sumatra, and the Philippines^ countries so peculiarly rich in those plants, should at present be compcn'atively unknown to him. Many Chinese specimens have been obtained through the Rev. Mr. Vachell, who sent his plants to Professor Henslow^ of Cambridge, and from Mr. Reeves ; but of that country and Japan very little can be said to be known.

The Orchidaceae peculiar to New Holland were carefully examined by Dr. Brown and Mr. Ferdinand Bauer during Flinders's Voyage ; and the author has been so fortunate as to be favoured* with authentic specimens of some of them from Dr. Brown him- self; he has also been kindly furnished by Pr. Endlicher with tracings of most of Mr. Bauer's drawings preserved in the Imperial Library at Vienna ; and he has received materials from the late Mr. Allan Cunningham, the Council of the Linnean Society, Mr. Everett, Sir Thomas Mitchell and others. It is, however, to the collections of Swan River plants formed by Mr. Drummond, and most especially to a very large quantity of Tasmannian specimens, most liberally furnished by Mr. Gunn, that the author is indebted for means of examining the Orchidaceae of Australia, as is amply testified by the references in the following pages. There are still, however, many species from the East and North Coast, with which he has no acquaintance.

New Zealand is as yet almost an unknown land witH respect to Orchidaceae. Species from that island or from any parts of the Pacific will in all cases be particularly welcome.

In an order like this, so peculiarly intricate in the structure of the organs of fructification, collections of dried plants would be of little value, in the absence of that kind of knowledge which can only be obtained from the study of hving species. For the latter the author is so extensively indebted to the friends of science in this country, that to acknowledge his obligations particu- larly, would be to publish a list of all the principal gardens where such plants are cultivated in Great Britain. It would, however, be unjust not to mention the names of his friends, the Messrs. Loddiges, as the most constant of all his correspondents, and as those to whom he has been indebted during many years for a continual and most abundant supply of beautiful living specimens of the utmost rarity. The large quantities of plants sent him by James Bateman, Esq., the author of the noble work on the Orchida- ceae of Mexico and Guatemala, and by George Barker, Esq. of Birmingham, the possessor of an invaluable collection of Mexican

and other speeieg^ chiefly imported by himself^ will ako justify the author's expressing his particular obligations to those gentlemen.

It is only necessary to add that the total number of species included in this work amounts to 1980. Of those which are regarded as well established species the author has analyzed the organs of fructification of more than three fourths.

The general structure of Orchiddceie, brieEy embodied in the foregoing description^ has been treated of at such length in the prefatory matter of the Illustrations of Orchidaceous Plants, that it is unnecessary to do more than refer the reader to that work. I must, however, take the opportunity of correcting one part of the theoretical view which was there taken of the structure of the column. While, in common with Dr. Brown, I regarded the stigma as really consisting of three parts, usually in

• This occurs only in the obscure plant called Coryinbis by Du Petit Thouars, of which 1 have a specimen, but unfortunately in the same imperfect state as is repre- sented by that author.

a state of confluence, I also supposed the position of the stigmata io be opposite the petals 5 being led to that conclusion by the constant position of the stigmatic arms of Ophryds. That opinion I now-rctract, in con- sequence of the position of the stigmata in Cypripedium^ which C. specta- bile shews most clearly to be opposite the sepals; and therefore the stigmatic arms of Ophrydse are to be understood as side lobes of that stigma which is opposite the dorsal sepal. This circumstance, however^ only con- firms the accuracy of my view of the true nature of the stamens, which are certainly all opposite the lobes of the stigma in Cypripedium.

While, however the untenableness of my first opinion, concerning the relation borne by the stigmata to the other parts of the flower, is thus admitted, there remains a difficulty that opposes itself to the view 1 now take io common with Brown, and which must not be overlooked. It is that the placentiferous pieces of the ovary are not opposite the stig- mata, but alternate with them, while the seedless pieces of the ovary are in a line with the stigmata! This seems to show 'that the ovary is composed of 6 carpellary leaves, of which three bear stigmata without ovules> and three bear ovules without stigmata. However paradoxical this may appear, it is by no means incompatible with the due perform- ance of the functions of impregnation ; for the carpellary leaves do 'not adhere into a solid mass, either in the ovary or in the style. On the contrary they form a cavity open from the stigmatic apex down to the ovules, and the whole of that cavity is lined with a lax conducting tissue, which may nevertheless be exclusively furnished by 3 stigmas only, and may become so confluent with the placentse as to form a perfect channel of communication for the pollen tubes in their descent into the ovules.

The order owes its chief peculiarities to the following circumstances : firstly, to the consolidation of all the sexual organs into one common mass, called the column j secondly, to the suppression of all the anthers, except one in the mass of the order, or two in Cypripedese ; thirdly, to the pecu- liar condition of its pollen, and the anther which contains it ; and fourthly, to the very general developement of one of the inner leaves of the perianth or petals in an excessive degree, or in an unusual form. These peculiarities are in most cases so striking, and all so strongly manifested in the same flower, that the inexperienced botanist may b^ unable to discover their real character. We find, however, that the true nature of each part is mdicated by special cases of structure occurring in different parts of the order.

Thus in Cypripedium not only are two lateral stamens furnished with anthers, while the central stamen is antherless, but the stigma and style separate from the filaments nearly to the base> and the triple nature of the former is distinctly shown, together with the relation of its lobes to the other parts of the flower. The pollen, which has so anomalous an appear- ance in its waxy or sectile state, presents the usual appearance of that substance in Goodyera, and many Neottese, And the irregularity of the labellum disappears in such genera as Thelymitra, Paxtonia, Macdonaldia, Hexisea, and some others, whose flowers are almost as regular as those of a Sisyrinchium.

It is indeed to the latter genus, more nearly than to any other, that Orchidacese seem to approach in structure, except to Zingiberaceae -, so

that they may be supposed to pass into Iricloceae through Thelymitra and Sisyrinchium on the one hand, and into Zingiberaces through Phrynlum and such a genus as Evelyna* on the other.

With regard to Apostasiaceae, their relation to that order does not appear to me to be greater than to either of the two now mentioned ; and in the absence of all evidence as to the connecting links which join OrchidaceaB and Apostasiaceae it seems unnecessary to advert further to the subject. It may^ however, be observed that Apostasia has apparently as much claim to be rcirarded as a diantlrous monadelphous Amaryllidaceous plunt allied to Hypoxidee and standing, perhaps, in the same relation to that order as Gilltesia to Liliacese^ as it has to be regarded as a trilucular Orchidaceous plant with the gynandrous organization lost.

In classifying this order the most important characters appear to reside in the pollen, which in many is consolidated into Jinn wuxy masses of a definite number in each species, and in others is either in its usual loose powdery condition, or is collected in granules or small wedges the number «if which is fiir too great to be counted.

Of thoife with waxy pollen masses some (Malaxeji) are destitute of any visible processes by which the masses are brought into contact with the stigma ; others (EpiD^NDRKiS) have strap-shaped caudiculae, which are either bent down upon the masses themselves, or serve to hold them together, without, however, forming any organized union with the stigma; while the remainder (VANOEiS) have acaudicula, which adheres firmly to a gland found on the upper margin of the stigma and separating freely from that organ. The last form is much more distinct from the two first than they are from each other, and I am inclined to think that hereafter it will either be requisite to combine Malaxes with Epidendreae, or to exclude from the former not only Acanthophippium, Ctelogyne and Pholidota, but several other e^enera at present referred to them.

The genera with powdery, granular, or sectile pollen cannot be classified so conveniently by modifications of that f>art, but are readily divided into 3 natural tribes by peculiarities io the anther. In some (Ophrea) the anther is erect, not hinged to the column but continuous with it, and stands above the stigma, the pollen masses having their points directed t*> the base of the lobes of the anther ; in others (Aretuuse^) the anther is hinged to the column, upon the end of which it is placed transversely like a lid ; and in others (Neottejb) it is also hinged to the column, but is stfitioned at its back so as to be nearly parallel with the stigmatic surface.

If to this we add that Cypripedej£ have two anthers^ while all the others have one only, we find the order divided into se^en tribes^ of which the following is a tabular view.

* This genus has been published in Pdppig and Endliclier's genera plantarum while the present work was passing through the press and will be introduced into the '* Rerisioo.* The Bietia capitata of R. Brown, p. 123, is a species of it.

EndUch,gen.p, 212.

Polleo pulvereum, aiit in lobulos elastic^ cohserentes colligatum. Stigma saepitis in rostellum fissile productum. Anthera dorssJis^ persistens, cum stigmate aut columns facie subparallela. Herbse omnes terrestres, radicibus fasciculatis ; nunc casu quodam arboribus innascentes, regiones temperatas et tropixsas humidas montanas utriusque hemispbserse habi- tantes, circulo arctico ignotae ; qusedam apbylls, in radices plantarum parasiticse, rufse. Folia membranacea, ensiformia v. petiolata, sspitis in vaginani caulem circumdantem expansa ^ rarb dura, plicata^ arundinacea. Flores spicati, rarissim^ paniculati, saepitis gland uloso-pubescentes^ in plurimis parvi semiherbacei.

These plants are distinctly separated from Arethusese by their dorsal, not opercular anther ; but they cannot be distinguished by their pollen, "which is either pulverulent, farinaceous, granular, or sectile. In the majority of cases too, the stigma is prolonged into a rostellum M^hich is divisible into two setae or membranous arms, in consequence of the portion connecting them adhering to the pollen masses and falling away. The parts are very difficult to examine in a dried state, and require the patient observation of botanists who possess the opportunity of studying and draw- ing them when fresh.

Thehard dry plaited form of leaf which occurs in Sobralia among Arethusese exists here in Tropidia, Cnemidia, and Chloidea, but I cannot combine those genera into a section by any good character. Thelymitra may be "considered to form a transition from the whole order to Iridacese.

Neottese pass into Arethusese more especially from Epipactis to Cepha- lanthera, and from Prasophyllum to Microtis ; into Malax ese from Listera to Liparis ; and into Ophrese from Neottia to Platanthera. They naturally separate into the following divisions :

I formerly regarded this genus as the same with Cryptostylis, from which, however, its anther-bed and labellum seem to distinguish it suffi- ciently. Blume describes his plant as having a " G}'nostemium breve, crassum, apice eniarginatum, postice cavitate aMhenferd ampUsnmd ad mar-' gmem ca/^^i-instructum.*' If this structure is analogous to the membran- ous lacerated border of the anther-bed in Cryptostylis, the distinctions between the genera will be diminished ; but 1 cannot find such a forma- tion in the only flower of Z, zeylanica which I have been able to examine, and I do not at all understand the figure given in Blume's Tabellen,

This remarkable genus is essentially characterized by its sepals and petals being combined into a long tube, its dorsal fornicate lip, its long narrow spreading petals, and its long column which follows the curve of the lip that presses on it, in consequence of which the anther is forced into the front of the column. Its long narrow flexuose petals, and the adhesion of the parts of the flower into a neck, divide it from Gom- phichis.

A singular plant looking like Spiranthes ramentacea. I have seen no leaves. The stems are two feet high, covered with loose membranous rugged sheaths, and terminated by very small flowers in a close cylindrical head about 3 inches long. The concave or rather slipper- shaped lip is very unlike that of the. other species of this little known genus.

The flowers of this species are larger than most of the others. Swartz seems to have seen a small specimen only ; one of those in Sir William Hooker*s Herbarium has IS flowers, and a spike five inches long ', so that the trivial name is by no means applicable. The long pointed membranous lip is very characteristic.

It seems to me inexpedient to abstract the name Neottia, which signifies a nest, from the Bird*s nest Orchis or Nidusavis of the herbalists, to which it was originally applied, and to transfer it to the Lady*s traces (Spiranthes) in which the '' Neottious '* structure does not exist. No critical rules could justify the measure, even if supported by their rigorous application ; which is not the case. The fact is that the word was first used by Lin- nsus in the Upsal Transactions for 1740, when he applied it to a genus consisting of Spiranfhes astivalis and Neottia Nidus avis. The word itself, therefore, if it is worth discussing verbal niceties in such a question, is at least as applicable to the plant for which I retain it, in common with a few other botanists, as it is to Spiranthes.

With regard to the genera Neottia and Listera, I confess there is nothing that can be pointed out as a satisfactory distinctive mark except their habit } and therefore the latter genus would have to be suppressed if the structure of the flowers is to be alone insisted upon. But the habit of these plants is so totally dissimilar that I think it would be unwise to unite them. Reliance has been placed indeed upon a character for sepa* rating Lisiera from Neottia, which, at first sight, seems more important than it really is. Lisiera has a cucullate anther-bed and Neottia a flat one, and when L, ovata is compared with N, Nidus Avis and listeroides this differ- ence becomes very striking; but L. cordata, and some of the other small species, has the borders of the anther- bed scarcely at all elevated, and i^. kamtchatica, with the habit of Nidus avis has the anther-bed of L. ovata. The elongation of the column is not more uniform -, for although it dis- tinctly occurs in all the Neottias, yet the column approaches that condition in listera Banksiana, and in L» convallarioides is as long in proportion as that of Neottia Nidus Avis,

I describe this plant from Tasmannian specimens given me by Messrs. Gunn and Everett ; and they are certainly the same as the species figured in the Botanical Magazine. But a copy of a drawing by Ferdinand Bauer, of Brown*s Calochilus campestris, made in Shoal Water Bay, represents that plant as having less acuminate sepals and bracts, and a lip with a longer beard. Possibly there are two species in Au^.tralia, to which Brown's character equally applies.

This plant seems distinct from C. campestris, (under which name I have sent it to some of my correspondents) in its close small flowers which are pale green or white, in the want of radical leaves, and its tall graceful habit. The glands at the base of the column are smaller than in the last. My specimens are uniformly of the same height, that of a foot.

This is a taller plant than E. latifolia, with much longer racemes, and flowers sweetly perfumed with Vanilla, usually deep purple, sometimes green, as in E. latifolia itself. I retain it as a distinct species chiefly on account of the form of the labellum, which is certainly different from that of E. latifolia:

This species is extremely like E. latifolia, from which, however, the acuminate form of the cauline leaves, and the long leafy bracts, appear to distinguish it sufficiently.

This species, which is the only Epipactis found in America, has a range from the Rocky Mountains to Mexico, through all which space it main- tains its character. I owe my friend. Sir Wm. Hooker, an apology for not adopting the name he found among Douglas's plants ; but as there is nothing remarkable in the stature of the species generally, I trust he will admit my name, which was published before 1 had received the 1 1th part of the Flora Boreali-americana. The species has fine large flowers like E, consimilis, to which it approaches very closely.

Although the supposed genus to which, at the instance of M. Adolphe Brongniart, I consented that the name of Decaisnia should be transferred, proves. to be the same as Prescottia (see Ann. of Nat.

The botanist who would separate Sarcoglottis from Spiranthes can I think do so only upon the ground assigned in the distinctive character here proposed for it as a section. At least I can find no positive structural mark of difference, the distinctions between the tv^o depending upon slight variations in form, size and direction of the floral organs.

because they are uniform, and especially by the lateral sepals being in all cases oblique at the base, and running down the ovary more or less. But it is not to be distinguished by its subulate bifid rostellum, for in S, bracteota and others that part has the form of Goodyera.

Stenorhynchus and Pelexia are both cut off by the want of calli to their lip.

Of this very variable plant I have examined specimens from every country above enumerated, except from Java ; and I have little doubt that all the forms and synonyms above quoted belong to one and the same species. To var. y some uncertainty may attach, but it does not seem to me to possess any greater peculiarity than that of the flowers being a little smaller. Differences in stature, pubescence, colour and developement of inflorescence, and the uncommon circumstance of an Orchidaceous plant being so widely dispersed (for the species of the order are usually local) have been the causes of so many species being proposed. In all 'the varieties 1 find the leaves inconstant in form. The var. h is very like S. autumnalis, and has the greatest claim to be regarded as a species.

This species scarcely differs from S. (Estivalis except in the rounded dilated hairy apex of the lip and constantly smaller flowers. Sprengel, with singular perversity, characterizes my S. pudica, which is remarkable for its perfect smoothness, as a pubescent species ! and, while he distin- guishes after me S, parviflora,Jiexuosa et pudica, reduces to S. amcena, my S. congesta, which is really a different species.

As it appears that the Orchis strateumatica of Linnsus is a Neottia, according to Brown's idea of that genus, I presume it must belong ^o this species because I have seen no other Spiranthes from Ceylon -, at the same time it is to be observed that the character given by Linnaeus is altogether at variance with the genus Spiranthes.

I should have referred this plant to Sp, anstraUs if I did not attach great Importance to the two cnlli at the base of the lip and the form of that organ^ as marks of specific distinction j here the calli, instead of being large conspicuous tubercles, are narrow indistinct lines, and the lip is by no means crisp at the apex. The very short conic.il inflorescence, not exceeding an inch in length, seems also to be a fartlicr point of difference, I only know the species by two good specimens given me by the late Mr. Prescott with a label marked " Neottia — e Sibiria, herb .Heumaun."

A plant from 6 to 9 inches high. Spike like that of S. odoraia, but much smaller, and the flowers not larger than those of Si gracilis, A very distinct and apparently rare plant ^ for it seems that Mr Drummond found only three specimens, all preserved in Hooker's Herbarium.

The nearest affinity of this species is with Sp. ovalis, from which it differs, not only in the characters above given, but in its greater stature, (my specimen is nearly Ij foot high) narrow leaves, and mudi more simply twisted spike, which in S, ovalis seems to have several spires as in S, odoraia and its allies..

the labellum of his Neottia micranlha has a very thin undulated margin^ makes me doubt whether that plant is to be referred to this species.

Of this plant I have seen but one bad wild specimen in the collection of Mr. Schomburgk. It has a stem abbut 2 feet high, and large green or variegated flowers^ which, when in the state of a bud are extremely like the head of a bird. I cannot discover any sufficient mark of distinction between the two plants above quoted as varieties ; for even in 5. grandiflora there is a tendency to variegation in the leaves.

After much consideration I have determined upon regarding the plants re- ferred to this genus as distinct from both Spirantbes and Pelexia. From the former they differ in their large showy flowers, great coloured bracts, and the want of calli at the base of the lip^ from the latter in the former cir- cumstance, and in their rostellum being peculiarly hard and horny, remain- ing as a rigid spine upon the apex of the stigma, after the pollen masses have fallen away. Moreover, the plants referred to Pelexia have a lip which is dilated, not contracted, at the end.

A plant common in our bothouses, where it is remarkable for flowering earlier than the leaves appear. Whether or not the Neottia plantaginea of Hooker is really distinct, I am unable to judge ; for specimens have never fallen in my way. I fear, however, it is a mere variety ; for, in the first place, there is no specific mark of distinction to be discovered in either the plate or description given in the £xotic Flora 3 and, secondly, the species appears to be variable. In the gardens it has rich salmon-coloured flowers ; in Denierara they appear, from Mr. Schomburgk*s observations^ to be the brightest rose; and Swartz describes them to be dirty yellow (sordid^ lutei) in Jamaica. The very indifferent figure in the Botanical Magazine repre- sents the spike as more lax than I have seen it, and the ill-drawn flowers are a caricature ; in reality the inflorescence is much more compact, and that of the specimens from Demerara is quite as compact as is represented in N. plantaginea. Perhaps^ however, 2 or 3 different species are con- founded by me under St. orchimdes; if so, I have no means of distinguishing them from each other. In the herbarium of Dr. Von Martins are speci- mens in flower with leaves attached to them, from the province of Minas Geraes.

In this 1 find nothing satisfactory to divide it from S, orchioides except the labellum, which is figured and represented as linear oblongs and which is certainly much more broad and obtuae than I have ever seen it in that species. The plant is said to be entirely leafless, not producing foliage even in cultivation, and to have a singularly lurid reddish green colour.

This genus differs from Stenorhynchus in its membranous rostellum, and in little besides ; and might perhaps be best considered a section of that genus. Its habit is however more that of Spiranthes, and the species are easily recognized > for the horn into which the sepals and lip are com- bined is more conspicuous in this genus than in Stenorhynchus.

Upon reconsideration of the genus formerly proposed by me under the name of Synassa, I see that it must be united with Pelexia.

I have only seen a head of flowers and about 4 inches of the upper part of the scape of this plant, which is strikingly different from Neottese in general, in its half corymbose half capitate inflorescence. A second ex- amination, with additional experience in the manner of dissecting the dried remains of these delicate flowers, has taught me that the labellum is merely glued to the column in this plant and not organically united with it. There is therefore no character to divide it from Pelexia.

These plants have the habit of a branching grass rather than of an Orchidaceous plant, and may be compared to that of Evelyna in Epiden- drese, or of Sobralia in Arethusese. They afford the only known example of a branching inflorescence among the Neotteous tribe.

I am uncertain whether this plant is the same as Swartz*s NeottiaJUwa* So far as the description given by that author is concerned, there is no material discrepancy ; except that he says the leaves of his plant are 2 or 3 feet long. Here they are not a foot in length. But if the stem of N. flava is erect, and the petals of the same colour as the sepals, as seems to be implied, then it is probable that the West Indian plant forms a distinct species.

The plants collected together under this genus form two tolerably well defined groups, which may perhaps be regarded as genera when increased by new species, and when the true structure of their column has been determined by the examination of fresh specimens. I find it impossible at present to satisfy myself upon this point in consequence of the crushed state of the parts, which cannot be restored to their original form.

The flowers are in dense oblong terminal spikes, very little, if at all, elevated above the leaves ; they are white with a bright yellow, channeled, fleshy, emarginate lip.

This curious genus agrees with Heemaria and Macodes in having the column twisted obliquely $ but it dififers from them both in having an elongated column to which the labellum is joined 4)y its whole length, and a very minute stigma, which is little more than a thick-edged perforation in the face of the broad membranous front of the column.

A remarkable species, distinguishable from Goody era pubescens not only by the peculiar form of the stigma and anther, but by its more lax spike, the flowers of which are quite secund, and much larger. The leaves too do not appear to have pale veins. Sir William Hooker has referred it to Spiranthes because of the form of its rostellum ; but it has the ventricose, though not saccate labellum and the straight column of Goody era ; and it wants the calli at the base of the labellum^ which are essential to Spi- ranthes.

These characters are taken from Blume. The plant he calls Neottia Petola is evidently a peculiar genus, differing from Myoda in the labellum not being adnate to the column 5 from Haemaria in the presence of a pair of large appendages at the base of the column ; and from both in the lateral sepals being herbaceous and connivent.

A plant with the habit of a prostrate Commelina. Leaves about an inch

long, gradually diminishing into the scales of the scape, which in this

species is not distinguishable from the stem. The hairless sepals are a remarkable character in a genus so generally hairy.

A figure of this exists among the collection of M. Descourtilz, who says he only found it at the foot of trees half destroyed by fire, and whose decaying fragments form the vegetable mould that surrounds them. He describes the appearance of the whole plant as being crystalline like Purslane.

If the labellum of Erythrodes latifolia is really emarginate and rounded at the apex, as it is described and figured, it must be different from this ; but the description and figure given by Blume accord so well in other respects that I suspect an error in that particular.

This very singular plant is nearly allied to Physurus on the one hand, and to Ponthieva on the other, agreeing with the first in its calcarate lip, and with the latter in the spreading petals being united to the back of the column. It however differs from both, ami indeed from every one of the Neotteous genera known to me by its stigma, which is a small two- lipped perforation in the upper anterior edge of the truncated pyramidal column.

By the late Mr. A. Cunningham this very distinct plant was regarded as D, aurea, and, following his opinion, I have given specimens away under that name. I find, however, by an examination of the British Museum, that it is Brown's D, sulphurea. It is readily recognized by the large dorsal sepal having two distinct round dark purple spots, while the petals have their claws only of that colour. The lip has also an irregular broad blotch in the middle.

Of this singular plant I only possess the upper part of the inflorescence. Its lower bracts are an inch and half long, while it is not more than an inch to the |)oint of the dorsal sepal. The closed up flowers look like a bird's head curved downwards between the two long ascending lateral sepals.

That this is distinct from the New Holland species I entertain no doubt ', its very short bracts and smaller and narrower flowers sufficiently attest that ; but I am unfortunately destitute of the means of stating the differences between the species more precisely. The plant is called Ma- kuku by the N. Zealand ers, not Makukia, as it would appear from Mr. Cunningham's uotes^ in my herbarium*

The species of this genus are most difficult to determine in a dried state, and require a careful revision by some botanist who can compare them when alive, and ascertain the limits of their variation. Mr. Gunn regards them as even more numerous than I do, but it is to be feared that some of the supposed species are only varieties.

Mr. Gunn informs me that this plant possesses a delightful fragrance like the Hyacinth ; some others, as P. patens, have a slight smell, but others are inodorous. It appears to vary a good deal in size, and in the length of the spike, the flowers of which are however always distinct, and not at all imbricated^ I find the lip occasionally a little downy at the back.

Perhaps this is a mere variety of P. alpinum, which it much resembles, its spike is, however, more dense, and the lamina of the labellum, instead of disappearing in the middle, is continued quite down to the base.

I take the characters which distinguish those two species from Sir W. Hooker, who, in the Botanical Magazine, t. 3024, has well explained their dift'erences. They are very difficult to disting^uish when dry. Both are closely allied to C. calceolus. I have occasionally found the lower sepal bidcntate, but that circumstance is very unusual.

This remarkable plant is theiinest of the United States Cypripediums, and is not uncommon in the gardens of this country, its roots being periodically imported. It, however, seldom lives above a year or two after its arrival. Those who manage it the best treat it as a greenhouse plant, keeping it constantly under glass, in a moderately warm atmosphere, and very near the light until its leaves have withered, when it is removed to a dry shelf till its growing season returns. Except in the colour of the flower, it is much like the Siberian C. macranthon, which, however, has the front sepal bi6d.

** Called by the Indians Setoarer. It is found upon sandy savannahs, is often 5 or 6 feet high ; stem and leaves dark green ; sepals light straw colour I labellum yellow, spotted with purple. Schotnburgk in lift. The leaves are hard like those of a Palm, or a Sobralia, and gradually diminish towards the tip of the stem, where they become narrow bracts to several flowers about the size of C. pubcscens. What appears to be the same species in fruit exists in Dr. von Martius* herbarium without locality ) it has a long narrow raceme of 20 flowers subtended by ovate ciliated hairy bracts and triangular fruit between 2 and 3 inches long.

If the flowers of this plant were not white, with pale green sepals and petals^ I should have no hesitation in regarding it as a mere variety of C.

This rare plant is said to be a native of the Malay archipelago, but there is no evidence before me on that point.

Its leaves are most like those of C venustum, hut are more oblong, and far less rigid, besides having a pallid colour, quite unlike that of the species alluded to; its petals moreover want the long bearded fringe, and the dorsal sepal is convex, not concave.

I unwillingly consent, at the particular instance of Mr. Schomburgk, to allow this plant to bear my name, who have no title to the compliment. It is a most remarkable species, with green stiff leaves, smooth, and bordered with yellow. The stem is two feet high, panicled!, and covered with large hooded erect scales and bracts, which are of a pale brown colour, and densely clothed with brown glandular hairs. The sepals and petals are of the same colour j but the lip is dull green, with the sides streaked with the same colour, and the border turned inwards and down- wards 'y its sides appear to be brought together as if the labellum were compressed. The sterile stamen, and stigmatic part of the column, are covered with stiff hairs or bristles.

23. There is also in Sir W. Hooker's herbarium a second species, taken by Mathews out of the same collection, but it is too imperfect to be intro- duced here.

The following published genera were omitted in their proper place,

among Malaxes.

CORALLORHIZA.

Corallorhiza. Hall. Hist, 2. 159. R, Brown in Hort, Kew, 5. 209. Endlich, gen.

no, 1339.

Periantbium ringeos. Sepala lateralia ascendentia, basi obliqua, in cornu brevis forma decurrentia, supremura erectum incurvum. Fetala se- palis conformia, sed pau15 minora, supra columnam conniventia. La- bellum unguiculatum, basin versus bilamellatum, patulum, integrum trilobumque. Columna libera, semiteres, petal is fer^ sequalis, clinandrio piano truncate 5 stigmate ovali in rostellum parvum recurvum glanduli- forme producto. Anthera 2-labiata^ 2-locularis, trivalvis, (nempb labii superioris valvulis connectivo colligatis, inferioris disjunctis.) Pollinia 4, globosa^ cereacea, mollia, libera, nunc rostello leviter adhee-

rentia. Herbae parasiticse, saepitis fuses aphyllse, nunc foliosae,

hemisphaeram borealem utriusque orbis in paludibus habitantes. Rhiz- oma corallinum^ ramosum, articulatum^ fibrillis fer^ nullis. Scapus va- ginatus. Flores racemosi> fusci.

The pollen masses of this genus are softer than customary among Orchidaceous plants with waxy pollen 5 but they cohere in round solid masses, and only indicate their pulverulent nature when softened in water, and crushed 3 1 therefore think it better to regard the genus as of the Malaxeous than of the Arethuseous tribe. It seems to constitute a type of structure among Malaxes equivalent to that of Eulophia in Vandes.

There is certainly no difference whatever between the C. vema of the N. American Botanists and our European C. innata. Reichenbach (Fl. excurs. p. 131.) mentions a variety of the latter, which, he says, resembles the C. multxflora, and like it has a white lip with (Timson spots, but I have seen no specimens of it. ^^^

Flowers brownish yellow, with a white lip daggled with crimson. This is a much larger and stouter plant than C. innala, not unfrequcntly prf>- ducing a narrow leaf from the apex of the uppermost sheath of the stem. The supposed variety /3 is a still larger plant, and is perhaps a distinct species.

3. CoRALLORHizA mexicana.

4. CoRALLORHiZA Striata.

C. aphylla, racemo denso elongato imbricato, ovario elongato ovali pedi- cellato, cornu adnato gibboso, sepalis petalisquc lanceolatis striatis, la- belli trilobi lobo medio obovato aculo lateralibus acuminatis t^r lon- giore : lamellis inconspicuis medio labello cis sinus adnatis.

Hab. in Americd boreali-occidentali, Douglas, (hab. 8. sp.)

This is by far the finest species of this genus, the flowers being as much as an inch in diameter. The sepals and petals seem to have been thin, and distinctly marked with 3 stripes, while the labellum appears to have been fleiihy. One of my specimens is nearly 2 feet high.

5. CoRALLORHiZA Mcrtcnsiana. Bong. veg. Sitcha p. 47. Hooker Fl. Bor. am. 2. 194*

C. aphylla, racemo tenui multifloro, ovario elongato pedicello sequali, cornu sublibero, sepalis lateralibus patentibus petalisque linearibus obtusis, labelli trilobi lobis lateralibus acuminatis denticulatis intermedio oblongo obtuso : lamellis tenuibus ad sinus productis.

Hab. in America boreali-occidentali ; Bongard^ Menziez, &c. (hab. $. sp. cofum. eel. Menzies.)

Raceme long and slender, on account of the flowers being pressed close up against the rachis. The horn is very prominent.

This very distinct plant seems to be confounded by some American botanists with C. multiflora or innata, from both which its membranous undivided round lip clearly distinguishes it. It is a smaller species than C, innata. Whether Plukenet*s 6gure is intended for the latter or the present species it is hard to say. It is scarcely worth quoting.

7. CoRALLORHiZA Wistariana. Conrad in Journ: Acad, Phil, 6. 145.

C. aphylla, racemo paucifloro (S-12) laxo, ovario elongato brevitis pedicel- lato, cornu obsoleto, labeilo oblongo emargiiiato indiviso basin versus denticulato : lamellis tenuibus apice rotundatis.

Hab. in America septentrimuli ,- Novum Aurelianum Torrey, Philadelphia, A, Gray, (hab, s. sp.)

This little plant is perfectly distinct from C. innata, to which Sir W. Hooker refers it, in its undivided lip, and much larger flowers, which are about the size of C. multiflora. According to Dr. A. Gray it flowers early.

Hab. in Sibiria, Prescott, {hab. s, sp,)

Of this plant I have a small specimen, marked Siberia, and given me by Mr. Prescott many years ago. It is 8 inches high, with a short-jointed rhizoma, covered with loose scales. The raceme is lax, and the flowers are hardly ringent^ but spread nearly equally from the centre.

I am uncertain whether these two plants really belong to Corallorhiza. If it were not for their leaves they would be referred to the genus

536

without question. Their habit is that of Eulophia ; but they certainly have 4 pollen-roasses^ apparently loose in the anther.

10. AphyUorchii pallida, Blume Tabellen, t. 77, of which no descriptioD has been published, seems to be near this genus, from which, however, it differs in having a bordered clinandrium, a 5-lobed lip, and perhaps connate lateral sepals.

This plant is said by Willdenow to have two large ovate leaves, like those of a Veratrum, scabrous backwards at the edge ; but all other authors speak of it as having only one, and I find but one, with smooth margins in a beautiful specimen given me by Sir W. Hooker. Elliot describes it thus : *' Root concatenately bulbous, leaf solitary, large, oval, lanceolate, some- what plaited, rigid, springing from the root and tapering at the base into a petiole ^ or 3 inches long. Scape 12 or 18 inches high, clothed with about 3 loose sheaths. Flowers in a tei minal raceme, at first erect, after- wards pendulous. Petals linear-oblong, connivent, distinct, all nearly equal in size and in form. Lip un^uiculate, distinct at the base, and about the length of the petals, dilated towards the extremity, trifid, ridged along the centre, the middle lobe round, with the margin undulate and crenulate. Column of an equal thickness and slightly curved, shorter than the lip. Lid of the anther membranous, caducous. Pollen masses 4, lenticular, waxy, attached to the summit of the column, at length deciduous.**

Dr. Asa Gray informs me that the cormi are excessively glutinous and are called Putty roots in the United States, where they are used by the poor as a cement for broken porcelain. The plant has very much the appearance of a Eulophia, and its round cormi, the size and form of those of Crocus luteus, upon a slender subterranean rhizoma, may be compared with some of the plants of that genus. Its pollen masses, however, appear, as far as I can ascertain fmm the dried specimens, to be destitute of gland and caudicula.

POSTSCRIPT.

The foUowing published species have been omitted in the preceding work, in consequence of the author's inability to ascertain to what genera they probably belong. Botanists who may possess information concerning them, or authentic specimens, are earnestly requested to communicate with the author, to whom a single flower-bud of such plants would generally be sufficient to solve his doubts.
