208 CONTRIBUTION TO THE FLORA OF GAZALAND. 
bracteæ ad 1:5 em. long. Sepalum dorsale 16 mm. long., 4 mm. lat. ; sepala 
lateralia vix 13 mm. long. ; petala 18 mm. long. 8 mm. lat. ; labellum 
16 mm. long. ; lobus medianus 7 mm. lat.; lobi laterales vix 3 mm. long. ; 
calcar 4—5 mm. long. ; columna 5 mm. long. 
Allied to К. manganjensis, Rolfe, from the Shiré Highlands, but the long 
imbrieating white sheaths which clothe the scape in that species are 
represented only by a few distant sheaths ; the flowers are also larger in the 
plant from Mt. Pene.

morum pedunculis diu persistentibus; racemis axillaribus e basi multifloris ; 
bracteis brevibus truncatis amplexicaulibus ; floribus breviter pedicellatis :

Hab. Melsetter, 6000 ft. ; in fr. Sept. ; n. 755. 
Caulis vix. 10 ст. long., pars inferior 3-4 mm. crassus, inferne radicibus 
crassis et peduneulorum vestigiis suffultus, superne vaginis persistentibus 
8 mm. long dense indutus. Folia circa 10 em. long., 5 cm. lat. Racemi 
frutescentes 15 em. long, bracteze ad 30, 1°5 mm. long. Sepalum dorsale 
7:5 mm. long., 2 mm. lat., sepala lateralia 7 mm. long., 2°5 mm. lat., petala 
7 mm. long., 15 mm, lat., labellum 9 mm. long., pars inferior 2 mm. lat.,

columna 1 mm. long. 
Near the South African А. bicaudatum, Lindl., and the small group of 
tropical African species with a similar habit. Perhaps most closely allied to 
A. tridactylites, Rolfe, but a plant of more stunted growth and differing in 
the character of the lip, which has short blunt, not long slender pointed, 
side lobes. 
BRACHYCORYTHIS ACUTILOBA, Kendle, sp. nov.
