the base of its middle lobe, while of the three plates those at 
the sides are truncate and conspicuous, but the middle plate 
is merely a raised line ; the column of this species is more- 
over remarkably long and narrow. The technical distinctions 
ofthem will be found below. 
I also find among Mr. Cuming’s Manilla plants, a fine 
species gathered on Mindanao, in the province of Miscamis, 
with as many as twenty flowers in a raceme, and the stem 
and very obtuse bracts coated with a close fur. The specific 
character of that is added under the name of Sp. tomentosa. 
If any are possessors of a Manilla Spathoglottis, resembling 
S. plicata, or Paxtonia rosea in herbage, they would do well 
to take care of it, for it may be this S. tomentosa, which 
seems to be really a fine thing.
