one and a half foot long, and consist of dense racemes 
proceeding from the axil of falcate spathes, so as to have 
.a great resemblance to that of some Palm. _ Perhaps 
this ought to be rather referred to Amphiglottium ; but 
its large sheathing spathes, full six inches long, under 
each branch of the inflorescence, seem to justify its being 
placed in this section. (Not in cultivation.) 
14. E. excisum ; folis latis oblongis apice rotundatis excisis, 
spatha lata coriaceà pedunculo longiore, floribus laxé 
paniculatis, petalis filiformibus, labello hastato basi bical- 
loso laciniis lateralibus cordatis crenulatis intermediá 
lineari divergenti bilobá. On the ascent to Sotara,
