Cape Colony, Komgha Division, on grassy slopes near the mouth 
of the Kei River, alt. 200 ft, fl. Jan., Flanagan, 1029 (in herb. Kew, 
Bolus, &c.); mountain slopes near Queenstown, alt, 4,000 - ft., fl. Jan., 
Galpin, 1713! Eland’s Hoek, near Aliwal North, alt. 4,500 ft., F. Bolus 
(No, 10544 in my herb.). 
Described from living specimens of Flanagan's No, 1029, The colour 
of the sepals is cold pale green, somewhat livid, faintly mottled, the petals 
and lip pale lilac with purple edges near the apex. The separation of 
the stipites and glands of the pollinia may be a sport. I have not ob- 
served it before in any other species, but found it identical in two 
flowers of Flanagan’s 1029, dissected. The species resembles E, laxi- 
flora Schltr., but is distinguishable by the absence of any chin or pro- 
jecting foot at the base of the column, as well as by colour differences. 
In some of the Eulophiae the colours of the flower vary considerably, 
especially in the lip, and too much reliance must not be placed upon 
them; in others, especially the unicoloured species, there seems to be 
little variation. (Fortsetzung folgt.)
