a short ligule ; anther broad, cells parallel, tubes long upeurved, glands of po mg 
small; stigmatic processes clavate, incurved round the mouth of the spur 
tellum short, triangular.—Nearly allied to H. digitata, but the flowers are sm 
and the base of the leaves amplexicaul.

the long-pedicelled beaked ovary, sepals broad acute, petals bipartite, Seg

pedicels filiform; bracts 2—1 in., lanceolate; flowers } in. diam.; sepals 3-nerv d 
lip not longer than the sepals, spur equalling the ovary, tip clavate;  anther-ce

12. H. dichopetala, Thwaites Enum. 309; leaves crowded about 
the middle of the stem ovate or ovate-lanceolate, lateral sepals ovate acute,

Stem 1-1} ft. Leaves dark green with a red midrib, petioled. Raceme lax-f ei 
bracts lanceolate ; flowers greenish about 3 in. diam.—The above description 1s from 
* Thwaites Enum.” There are two specimens from Thwaites in Lindley's erba- 
rium which differ somewhat from that description, the leaves are linear-oblong erect

radical orbicular- or ovate-cordate, flowers few long-pedicelled, petals

lip tripartite lateral segments filiform terminal linear or elongate lanceolate, 
spur longer than the ovary. Dalz. & Gibs. Bomb. Fl. 967. H. rotundi-

nia large orbicular ; stigmatic processes Jarge, clavate; rostellum elongate, erect.
