outside: the upper lip is fleshy, and similarly veined; the 
under side ofit, as well as the narrow elongated part, is 
of a very dark brown colour, tinged with yellow at the 
point. From the bottom to the throat of the flower is about 
2 inches: the length of the lip is nearly 18 inches. 
“ The plant grows freely in the stove, in light rich 
loam, and is readily propagated by means of its creeping 
roots. It flowered at Carclew on the 15th of June last: 
the flowers only continue for a few days.” 
For this we are indebted to the kindness of Sir Charles 
Lemon, who communicated specimens, along with the 
above description and remarks, by Mr. William Beattie 
Booth. It is similar in many respects to A. trilobata, 
already figured at fol. 1399 of this volume; but differs in 
its flowers being smaller, differently coloured, and with a 
lip, the lamina of which is much shorter than the tube, and 
also in the figure of the leaves, which have shorter petioles.
