I learn the very curious structure of this plant from a beautiful sketch 
of Mr. Bauer’s. Its peculiarity consists in its anther having its lobes con- 
nected by only a narrow slight connectivum, so that it is twolobed, and in 
the pollen masses being concave and convex so that each pair forms a sort 
of hollow body narrower at the back than at the front, at which end it is 
open. The placentary angles of the ovarium are larger than the rest and 
simple, while the intermediate ones are smaller and double.

In this genus there are some species in which the rhizoma has spurious 
bulbs, and others in which, in lieu of these bodies, the joints of the rhi- 
zoma themselves become fleshy. The anther is not formed upon the usu 
plan of Orchidee. Instead of the valves opening by two slits along the 
face of each lobe of the anther, these lobes are combined and the whole 
face of the anther separates from the back, on which account I have call 
it bilabiate. The same thing appears to happen in some of Blume's Che 
lonantheras.
