more curious, He makes Plumier call the ensiform leaves of this species 
lyrate! In the collection of Plumier there are two drawings, one of the

obvious clerical error for plicatis ; on the other foliis liratis, a further mis- 
take of the same nature.

In the Hortus Kewensis the labellum is called imberbe ; it is however 
distinctly lamellate. There can be no doubt of Thunberg's synonym ; but 
his figure is very bad ; Japanese specimens in Mr. Lambert's Herbarium 
establish the fact beyond controversy.
