very valuable miscellaneous collection of Orchids sent by the 
Rev. C. Parish, from Moulmein, in 1870, and flowered in 
February and March of the present year. From a comparison 
with Griffith’s figure, it will be seen that the latter is re- 
markably correct, the only differences I perceive are, that 
in Griffith’s figure the flower is represented in an inverse 
position, and much yellower, the scape also is stouter, red, 
and bears several sheaths, which I do not observe in his 
specimens. ; 
Descr. Pseudobulbs clustered, or in a series, discoid, appressed 
to the bark, dull green, one-third to one-half inch in diameter, 
with a minute central mamilla, from which springs the scape, 
subtended by an exceedingly small ovate-subulate scale, that 
is the only representative of the leaf; surface covered with 
minute white scales. Scape capillary, one to oneand a half inch 
long, with one or more appressed sheaths near the base, greenish 
yellow. Flower solitary, two-thirds of an inch long from the . 
dorsal sepal to the lip, inclined or horizontal. Dorsal sepal 
_very small, ovate, acute, yellow green ; /ateral sepals forming 
wings at the apex of a long curved semiterete green purple- 
spotted stipes, which projects from the base of the column, 
carrying the lip and lateral sepals far from the column and 
petals, spreading and recurved, obliquely ovate-lanceolate, 
concave, with gibbous incurved margins, yellow-green with 
dull purple bands. Petals very minute, spreading on each 
side the column, suborbicular, green. Jip ascending between 
the lateral sepals from the apex of the aforesaid stipes, deep 
purple, pedicelled, much smaller than the lateral sepals, ovate, 
3-lobed, subacute, convex and hairy on the disk. Column very 
short, with two long projecting oblong-obtuse yellow purple- 
spotted wings that are half as long as the stipes of the 
conjoined lateral sepals and lip. Anther small, convex, purple- 
topped. Pollen-masses connate into a 4-lobed mass, which is 
sessile on an exposed orange-yell bet :
