3888 MR. A. B. RENDLE ON THE 
large 8-partite spreading anterior portion, the median segment of 
which is entire, narrowly triangular and pointed, while the lateral 
pair (2 lines long) have their upper portion much cut up and 
spreading. The spur is 7 lines long, the broad opening (nearly 
a line from back to fron$) leads to a broad conical base which 
passes into the thin tube 4 line in diameter. The column is 4 
line long; the beak of the rostellum projects slightly downwards ; 
the anterior cap is pointed in front and has a slight median 
depression; the caudicle is 3 line long, and has a broad angular base 
with a narrow tip. The pollen-masses are whitish and globular. 
Ts near the South-African species 4. béicaudatum, Lindl., but 
has larger flowers with a proportionately much larger lip, with 
the median segment of the spreading lamina narrower and more 
acute, and the lateral ones much larger.

The large thick rigid clavate leaves are 10-11 inches long by 
1? inch in the broader upper portion; in the dried state they 
are rolled backwards at the margin. The apex is very unequally 
bilobed, the lobes rounded. The longer of the two racemes is 
155 inches long with 10 slightly hooded blunt bracts, the lower 
of which are } inch long. 
The fine flowers measure 2}—21 inches across; the sepals and 
lateral petals are similar, all being lanceolate in shape and more 
or less thickened at the apex. The odd sepal is slightly broader 
than the rest and subacute, 151 lines long by 43 broad; the 
lateral sepals are blunter and shorter, 14 by 4 lines; while the 
larger lateral petals are acute, and 16 by 4 lines. The large
