long, lanceolate, 5-nerved ; petals narrower, 3-nerved; lip nearly as long as the 
sepals, broadly ovate, finely acuminate, cymbiform, quite entire; spur as long as the 
sepals, suberect, slightly clavate ; anther firmly attached by a point to the. column. 
apsule 2 in., pedicelled, narrowly ellipsoid, ribs slender.—I have seen only indif-

Epiphytes ; pseudobulbs clustered, 1—3-leaved. Leaves flat, linear, not 
plaited. Scape from the base of the bulb, slender, simple or branched ; 
racemelax-fld.; bracts small acute. Sepals narrow, spathulately obovate, 
obtuse, dorsal arched, lateral connate placed under the lip. ip adnate to 
the column above its middle, spreading, more or less 3-lobed, disk with 2 
short erect lamella on the mesial line. Column incurved with 2 styliform 
orizontal or decurved processes on each side of the stigma, and a cucul- 
late top concealing the anther; rostellum suberect. acute ; anther membra- 
nous, 2-celled ; pollinia 2 or 4 in 2 pairs, narrowly pyriform attached by a 
` Strap to a small gland.—Species 5 or 6, Indian and Malayan. .

ve much smaller plant than A. javanica, with more densely tufted pseudobulbs, 
d Fil leaves, scapes shorter, more branched, and smaller flowers ; the sepals are 
Wight v3 and the very different lip is inserted higher up, just under the column.— 
from G who had lost the locality of the species he figured probably receive , it 
with TD. In a drawing by Parish the flowers are yellow green faintly blote o

Pieted, which is now in Herb. Kew.
