or twenty inches). ‘ lowers about two inches apart, green, in 
a pendent raceme, furnished with brown (green when young), cu- 
cullate, deciduous éracts, as long as the peduncle, Each flower is 
about four inches across if fully expanded, with pale-green sepals 
and petals, and a singularly warted /ip, marked with deep broad 
black veins and stams upon a greenish-yellow ground. ‘The 
crests are two, deep, double-warted lines, on each side of a three- 
ribbed, central disc ; these crests converge towards the middle 
of the dp, where they lose themselves in a field of pallid, 
rugged, irregularly situated, often two-lobed warts. The column 
is green, slightly expanded into thin, rounded edges. The dip, 
although really oblong, yet, in consequence of the manner in 
which the sides are bent down, has much the form of a violin. 
A memorandum (of Mr. Low, Jun.) in the Hookerian Herba- 
rium states the flower to emit an agreeable perfume.” —Lindley.
