giore, foliis ensiformibus apice falcatis marginatis glaucis, floribus infe- 
rioribus pedunculatis, spathis viridibus, germinibus trigonis. Knowles

An oriental species, from the Birmingham Botanic Gar- 
den; very near Z. subbiflora, from which it is said to differ 
“in having the scape flexuose and deflexed, and bearing four 
or sometimes five flowers (never less than three), and by 
having a three-sided germen. Furthermore it is so tender 
as to require a stove heat, or that of a warm greenhouse.”

labellum is also entire and keeled from the apex.”
