Stem 1-3 in. Leaves 2-3 by 4-2 in. obtusely 2-lobed; sheaths ribbed. 
Peduncle 2-3 in., stout or slender, 2-3 sheathed ; spike 4-1 in.; flowers white ; 
sepals and petals } in. Jong, lanceolate, acuminate; lip stoutly clawed, spotted with

Bentham (Gen. Plant. iii. 575) suspects that this and Hystrix are one, but in the 
absence of good specimens of either I hesitate to unite them.—Capsule 2-23 in. ; the 
sepals and petals are lanceolate, acute, lateral inserted on the very short foot of the 
short column. Capsule 24-83 in., slender, straight, subacute. 
22. S. hirtulus, Hook. f. Ic. Plant. ined.; peduncles hirtulous, much 
shorter than the faleately lanceolate obtusely acuminate leaves, bracts 
minute, spur long incurved, column very long contracted at the base.

Stem very short, or 0. Leaves 3-5 by 4—2 in., coriaceous, falcate, narrowed from 
the middle downwards, tip recurved. Peduncle 4-1 in.; spike }-} in.; bracts 
Spreading; flowers membranous; lateral sepals } in. long, obovate-oblong, acute,

Intermediate tooth; spur swollen above the narrow apex; anther shortly beaked ; 
Pollinia 2, globose, stipitate on the cuneiform strap, gland minute. Capsule 1} in.,
