 sessile flowers, &c. L. Escholtzianay of which L, Bcmhsiana is a

A very remarkable plant, with the lip concave, not convex, and 

 scarcely so long as the sepals ; at its base it is furnished with a 

 pair of auricles, while the sides of the acute middle lobe have each 

 a single minute sharp tooth.

The specimens, like those brought home by Dr. Royle, appear 

 in two states, the one very much stouter than the other.
