Watticn introduced to the stoves of this country. Our 
plant flowered at the Glasgow Botanic Garden, February, 
1841. 
Descr. Pseudo-bulbs elongated, compressed and some- 
what fusiform, proliferous, and thus creeping, as it were, by 
means of fibres from the joints, and these are frequently 
clothed at the base with large, brown, sheathing scales. 
The upper or younger pseudo-bulbs are terminated by two 
linear-lanceolate, more or less recurved, very acute or 
almost acuminated Jeaves. From the extremity of a series 
of young pseudo-bulbs, tipped with two young leaves, the 
almost sessile spike, or raceme, originates. This is pendent 
and has many small pale-coloured flowers ; each subtended 
by a rather large, linear, concave bractea. Sepals spread- 
ing, linear, white, or with a faint tinge of flesh-colour. 
Petals similar to them, but narrower. Lip three-lobed, the 
base very concave, with a small lobe, or tooth, on each 
side; the middle one long, deflexed, linear, acute, white, 
resembling the petals or sepals, contracted at the base. Co- 
lumn brown, elongated, nearly terete, but a little thickened 
and curved upwards. Anther-case placed in front of this, a 
little below the apex, hemispherical. Pollen-masses four, 
united by a granulose substance.
