From this table it will bo seen that there arc only 16 species which are separable from
each other by unexceptionable characters. At the same time it has to be admitted that the
intermediate forms neccssary to support the decisive reductions indicated in the right-hand
column have in few cases yet been reported.
The account of the genus bj' Dr. Miquel in Fior. Ind. Bat. ii, 985—9, is somewhat
unsatisfactory.' J3ut reference to it as regards Malayan species is absolutely essential,
and to facilitate this a tabular view of its synonymy is presented.
I This account ¡9 nDsatisfaEtovy nrninly owing to tlie melusiou by its author oftlirco plnnts that plainly do not boloDg

must be considered in detail, and in discussing tbem the best known will be first dealt

Tliis is en abcrrnnt FMomis. and tbe speeifiu name (as Sir J". D. Hooker i.e. ]ms remarked) is inappropriate.
Besides being so unlike otber Flihmidei in general appearance, it difFcrs from most otlier species ot the gciiiis in llie
posterior filaments being in appendi cui ate. Dr. Miquol's description is remarkably inadequate, and notices neitber tbe
divaricate antliers, the gialrova filaments, nor tbe annulate corolla-three characters exhibited by no species of tJio geuus
in which he lias placed tbe plant.
After Beiitbam's ThUmU rvgosa wo may consider G. mao-ojyhyihm Miq., of which (here are gpeeimeus at Calcutta
It is a plant undoubtedly congeneric with Pldomis mgosa. differing only in having tbe calyx rather longer and
distinctly ineun-ed, the corolla tube included, tho lips shorter (the lateral lobes of the lower hp are besides acuto
instead of obtuse), the galea externally much moro densely tomentose, and the anterior stylo lobo longer I h"^ h>
