Rheedit, Lindl., non Wight) by Reichenbach. From M. plantaginec it differs in the small bracts, pale yellow flowers, and in the auricles of the lip not being Jonger than the blade. The original M. Rheedii of Lindley (Malavis Rheedii, Swartz) was founded on a Malayan species of the section Crepidium, supposed to be identical with a plant figured by Rheede (Hort. Mal. xii. t. 27), but really quite different, the latter not even being @ repidium. Wight was the first to identify Rheede’s plant, and to describe and figure it under the name of M. Rheedii. A figure of it is given on Plate 1832 of this work. —J. D. H. Figs. 1, 2, 3, Varieties of lip. 4, Column and anther. All enlarged. Piate 2003. OBERONIA MANNII, Hook. a. OrcHipex. Subtribe MALaxEg. 0.

In the Supplement to the ‘ Orchidece of British India ’ I have (vol. vi. . 189) corrected the blunder which I had made in the description of from overlooking the very obscure true petals of this plant, and mistaking for them the broad nerved wings of the remarkable column. As there stated, I am indebted to my artist, Miss Smith, for pointing these out to me. They are not, as described by Reichenbach, triangular-ligulate, but each forms an extremely short transparent membrane, not a fourth of the length of the column, to the broad base of which they are adnate, and along whose foot they are decurrent.—J.

This accounts for my having inadvertently included it (follow- ing Thwaites) in the latter genus, as a species unknown to return of the loan by Dr. Trimen has enabled me to give the accom- panying figure of this unique plant.

I have with difficulty made out what I think is the structure of the flower of this curious little plant, the figures of which do not well represent its capillary habit, for the stem is not thicker than a horse- hair. The specimens, of which there are only two, were in Dr. Wight’s herbarium, which he presented to Kew, with a note that they were collected by Mr. Johnson, who was, I believe, a missionary, and an ardent collector of plants in Mysore and the Ghats. It is closely allied to E. articulata, of Ceylon, in the scape, bracts, and spike, but differs entirely in the form of the petals, sepals, and lip.—J. D. H. Fig, 1.

The first specimens that I received of this curious little plant were in so imperfect a ira that I failed to make out the structure of the column, and from its close resemblance in every pees to the Malayan Bria Pleurothallis T incautiously described it as a species of that genus. Additional specimens received from Dr. King, collected by Mr. Wray, together with a pencil drawing o of the plant by Father Scortechini, prove it to be an undoubted Ceratostylis, though not closely allied to any hitherto known Indian species. The very minute lip appears to figures it as tongue-shaped beyond the sac or spur, with a slight fold on each side towards the base, as in the accompanying figures 1 and 2, That represented at fig. 3 was taken from a very much decayed flower, and cannot be depended on.—J.

Lindley, who described this as a Hwlophia, says of it that it is the smallest-flowered of the aphyllous species of that genus, epi kr that the hastate lip is unlike that of any other. As far as the of the flowers is concerned the same may be said of it in respect of its its being a Tainia, to which genus it certainly belongs, as shown “4 the pollinia. The hypochile of the lip is not hastate, but sagittate. It may prove to be a small-flowered state of the common latifolia.—J. D. H. Fig. 1. Flower, laid open, with the lip removed. 2. Lip. 8.
