Angolan specimens, and the lip is markedly different in the 
iwo sets of specimens, being larger in the Uganda form with a 
well-marked central notch, while in the Angolan plant there is 
a small eentral lobe. The leaves are also narrower, and the 
racemes shorter and less densely flowered than in M. vantho- 
pollinium.

An interesting discovery, as the species has only hitherto been 
known from the original locality, Kitamba in the Gaboon, West 
Tropical Africa. 
Dr. Kránzlin has kindly compared our specimen with his type 
in the Berlin Herbarium, and confirms my opinion as to the 
identity of the plants. The spur in the Uganda specimens is 
filiform only for about two-thirds of its length, the apical 
portion being inflated. Dr. Krünzlin finds that in his specimen 
the apical portion has shrivelled, the spur being apparently 
filiform throughout its length and suggests that this represents a 
later stage. 
The species is a fine one and among the largest flowered in the 
genus.
