This agrees pretty well with the specific character of S. striatum in 
Thunberg's Flora Capensis, but it does not at all correspond with the 
detailed description of the flowers. It is a good deal like S. bracteatum at 
first sight, but very different when carefully examined.

This plant does not in all respects answer to the description given by 
hunberg ; it is especially difficult to reconcile with it the expression 
“ galea excisa," Nevertheless I can find nothing else among the many 
Cape Orchidacec in my possession which at all agrees with it ; and the 
Salea may have been incorrectly observed.
