The two horns at the base of the column secrete from their points a 
great quantity of honey, which is caught in the cup-like appendage of the 
lip. Mr. Harrison informs me that the sepals when newly expanded open 
Out flat like a bat's wing, and that they are approaching the period of 
withering when in the state represented in Dr. Hooker's plate.
