XCVII. CYMBIDIUM. 
Cymbidium. Swartz. Nov. Act. Ups. 6. 70.——Camaridium. Lindl, in Bot. Reg. t. 844. 
Perianthium explanatum, petalis sepalisque subaequalibus liberis. Label- 
lum sessile, liberum, ecalcaratum, concavum, cum basi columnz nunc 
articulatum, nunc leviter connatum, indivisum v. trilobum. Columna 
erecta, semiteres. Anthera bilocularis. Pollinia 2, sepius postice bi- 
loba, in glandulam subtriangularem subsessilia. 
Cymbidium, as understood in this work, is no doubt made up of several 
Very different genera, the characters of which, from want of sufficient in- 
ormation and the knowledge of a greater number of species, cannot be 
Positively made out. I presume each section will be hereafter recognised 
as distinet, for which reason I have given them names which may be re- 
tained either as generic or sectional. y 
The first, or the Eucymbidia, are the genuine species, all of which have 
two lamelle more or less distinctly shewn upon the lip———Camaridium 
might perhaps have been safely continued separate. Bolbidium is very 
near Maxillaria.— — Angidium is altogether distinct, but I am not sure 
that I have made out its characters rightly.
