which the labellum was precisely of the same nature as 
that of Catasetum tridentatum, that is to say, destitute of 
the crested appendages, and perfectly galeate and naked. 
An extremely rare stove plant, easily cultivated in 
decayed earth, and propagated very slowly by the fleshy 
bulbs on which the leaves are seated. 
The plants have altogether the appearance of C. triden¬ 
tatum; but the leaves are rather broader, and more nerved. 
Spike radical, nearly erect, many-flowered, shorter than 
the leaves. Bractece small, ovate. Ovary an inch or more 
long, rounded. Perianth expanded, green; the two anterior 
sepals spreading, oblong-lanceolate, channelled; the three 
posterior erect, and nearly parallel; the innermost being 
shorter and thinner. Labellum jointed with the columna, 
spreading, saccate at base, crested on the margin and disk 
. with numerous fleshy, whitish processes. Columna in all 
respects that of Catasetum.
