Habit of N. cordifolium, but stem, petioles and scape shorter, flowers in a 
conical spike, and lip very different. Leaves rather fleshy, mottled green, with a 
metallic lustre. Scape 1-3 in.; bracts 4 in., membranous ; sepals 3 in. to the tip of 
the spur.—There may be two species confounded here. The Bot. Mag. plant has 
green sepals and a white lip with yellow ridges. King’s specimens have waxy-white 
sepals tipped with yellow and a pink calyx; Wray figures an obcordate lip, cream- 
cold., pencilled with crimson, and dull-green sepals,

26. TAINIA, Blume. 
Terrestrial glabrous herbs; caudex creeping, bearing a solitary elliptic- 
lanceolate long-petioled leaf on a slender or stout pseudobulb, and with a 
very long scape at or near its base. Flowers small or middle-sized, 
mcemose, Sepals narrow; lateral faleate, adnate to and forming a mentum 
mth the saccate base of the lin, or inserted above it. Zip adnate by its 
àse only to that of the slender column, hastately 3-lobed, rarely entire, 
isk lamellate. Anther with often a simple or 2-lobed boss, or 2 horns ; 
x14 4 or 8, free or united by a viscus, 4 sometimes smaller.—Species
