stout ; lip nearly as long as the petals, obtuse, lateral nerves narrowly lamellate 
below the middle; column with a long slender rostellum ; anther narrowly lanceo- 
te; pollinia clavate, grains lamelliform, caudicle long slender, gland minute.— 
have examined Lindley's specimen of T. semilibera, and find, that he was in 
error in supposing that the lateral sepals are free to below the middle; it does 
not differ from 7’, angulosa.
