a span high, terete, leafy. Zeaves remote, two and a half inches 
long (in the blade), petiolate, dark-coppery-green above, with two 
series of white oblong spots lying parallel with the costa, and two 
shorter lines of the same at the base, beneath greyish- white ; pe- 
tioles sheathing at the base ; sheaths rather short, close-pressed to 
the stem. Spzte of many close-placed whitish small flowers, each of 
which is subtended by a broad-ovate, acuminated dractea, scarcely 
the length of the ovary. Sepals ovato-lanceolate, the dorsal one’ 
agglutinated to the petals, which are similar in form and size. 
Spur about as long as the rest of the flower, very obtuse. Zadel- 
um longer than the sepals, much constricted near the middle, the 
lower half ventricose, the upper half ovate, much acuminated, 
reflexed. Column short. Pollen-masses attached to a large two- 
lobed gland.

fear erroncously, represented the pollen-masses as fringed at the apex.)
