2% lin. long. Capsule linear, 2—24 in. long.—A. bilobum, var. Kirkii, 
Reichb. f. in Gard. Chron. 1882, xviii. 488; Will. Orch. Alb. iv. t. 162; 
A apiculatum, var. Kirkii, Reichb. f. in Gard. Chron, 1885, xxiv. 456,

Nile Land. British East Africa: near Mombasa, at Mkomani Free Town, and

Mozamb. Dist. German East Africa: Pangani River valley, 30 miles inland, 
300 ft., Kirk ! Kilimanjaro, Smith ! Usambara, Bombuera, Holst, 2211! 
Quite distinct from the West African A. bilobum, Lindl., to which it is referred 
as a variety by Reichenbach. A specimen from the Ushambala Hills, Kirk / probably 
be‘ongs to a luxuriant form of this species. The racemes are about 6 in. long, 3—6- 
flowered, and apparently pendulous. A. apiculatum, var. dormanianum, Reichb. f. 
in Gard, Chron, 1885, xxiv. 456, may also belong here. The native country is not 
recorded, 
6. A. rohlfsianum, Aränzl. in Bot. Zeit. 1882, 341. Stems short, 
3—4-leaved, with stout roots. Leaves cuneate-obovate, 4—8 in. long, 
3-1} in. broad; apex unequally bilobed, with rounded lobes. Scapes 
erect, about the same length as the leaves, 4—8-flowered, with 2 or 3 
subacute sheaths at the base. Bracts ovate, acute, 3-4 lin. long. 
Pedicels 14-2 in. long. Sepals and petals oblong-lanceolate, acuminate, 
10-12 lin. long. Lip similar to the petals ; spur slender, somewhat curved, 
43-6 in. long. Column stout, 3 lin. long; rostellum subulate, curved, 
with 2 tubercles at its base.—Krinzl. in Reichb. f. Xen. Orch. iii. 76, t. 
240. 
Nile Land. Abyssinia: Wadi Woina, Steckert. 
Pollinia unknown, but the species is clearly allied to the preceding. I have not 
seen specimens. 
1. A. kotschyanum, /eichh. f. in Oestr. Bot. Zeitschr. 1864, 338. 
Stems very short, with numerous thick roots, 3-6-leaved. Leaves

flowered. Bracts triangular-ovate, acute, 2-4 lin. long.  Pedicels

slightly smaller than the sepals. Lip subpandurate, apiculate, L- 1 in. 
long, 4-8 lin. broad ; spur more or less curved and often twisted about 
the middle, slightly thickened towards the apex, 5-8 in. long. Column 
Stout, 3 lin. long, rostellum subulate, somewhat curved. Capsule
