The structure of this species, like that of B. pectinata, R. Br., 
is very curious, and can scarcely be explained without a figure. 
The drawing in the ‘ Bot. Register,’ tab. 1653, is tolerably good, 
but not quite clear as to the position of the stigma and ovary. 
From B. pectinata the present species is readily distinguished by 
its obtuse petals, the longer spur, and the dilated ends of the 
segments of the labellum, and by its glabrous ovary and sepals. 
B. Burmanniana, Ker, from which Lindley separated „B. pecti- 
nata, is unknown to me; I suspect they are mere forms of one 
species. I have named the above-described species after my 
daughter, who first detected the plants hidden under bushes, and 
who has helped me for many years in my botanical work.
