Ancetonia ciliata, Gardn. MSS. in Herb. Brasil. n. 2271. 
Found in Brazil by Mr. Garpner, in 1839, growing 
commonly in sandy places about Oeiras, and from thence to 
the province of Ceara. I have taken the liberty of altering 
Mr. Garpner’s name (ciliata) derived from a very obscure 
mark in the foliage to that suggested by the large and 
conspicuous horn-like appendage arising from the middle 
segment of the lower lip, and directed towards the centre 
of the flower. The specimen here figured was raised in 
the stove of the Glasgow Botanic Garden from seeds =
