Very closely allied to S. ampullaceum, but the leaves are twice as long, mmeh 
narrowed and strongly recurved, the flowers more scarlet with a golden lip —T je 
strap of the pollen is figured in Bot. Mag. as broadly triangular, it should be very 
slender. Lindley's habitat of Ceylon is no doubt an error, or referable to a culti- 
vated specimen ; or an Aerides may have been intended.
