Ancectochilus
According to the authors of the "Genera Plantarum," there are only about eight distinct species, natives of the East Indies and the Malayan Archipelago. To the species and varieties described on pp. 81-2, Vol. I., the following should now be added:
A. Boylei (Boyle's). l. ovate, acuminate, 2in. long and broad, olive-green, netted and pencilled over the entire surface with gold. India.
A. concinnus (neat). l. ovate, acuminate, rounded at base, dark olive-green, striped and netted with shining coppery-red, Assam.
A. Dominii (Dominy's). l. dark olive-green, the centre marked by a pale coppery-yellow streak, and the main ribs by pale lines. A vigorous garden hybrid between Goodyera discolor and Anoectochilus xanthophyllus.
A. Eldorado (Eldorado). l. dark green, with small tracery of a lighter colour, deciduous. Central America. This species is difficult to cultivate; it must never be allowed to get dry at the roots, even when the leaves have died down.
A. Friderici-Augusti (Frederick Augustus'). This is identical with A. xanthophyllus.
A. Heriotii (Heriot's). l. 3 1/2in. long, 2 1/2in. broad, dark mahogany-colour, with golden reticulations, a shadow of network showing through the surface. India.
A. hieroglyphicus (hieroglyph-marked). l. ovate-elliptic, small, dark green, marked with silvery-grey blotches of hieroglyphic character. Assam.
A. javanicus (Java). A synonym of Argyrorchis javanica.
A. Lansbergiae (Mme. van Lansberge's). l. larger than those of Dossinia marmorata; ground work of upper surface dull velvety-maroon, median nerve and smaller veins emerald, lines near margin dull gold; under surface light salmon-colour. A vigorous species. (I. H. ser. v. 1.)
A. latimaculatus (broadly spotted). l. dark green, with silvery markings. Borneo.
A. Lobbianum (Lobb's). A synonym of A Roxburghii.
A. Lobbii (Lobb's). A synonym of A. argyroneura.
A. Nevillianus (Neville's). l. oblong-ovate, 1 1/2in. long, of a rich, dark velvety, coppery or bronzy hue, marked with two rows of pale, oblong blotches. h. 3in. Borneo.
A. Petola (Petola). A synonym of Macodes Petola.
A. querceticola (Oakwood-dwelling). A synonym of Physurus querceticolus.
A. regalis (royal). The correct name of A. setaceus.
A. Reinwardtii (Reinwardt's). l. deep velvety-bronze, intersected with bright golden lines. Java, 1861. A handsome species, somewhat resembling A. regalis. (B. H. 1861, 18.) A. Veitchii (Veitch's). This is identical with Macodes Petola.
