Mag. t. 6034, misspelt Acranthus), to which he incautiously 

 added as a third a true Angrcecum, the A. sesquipedale, 

 Thouars. Of these the two first differ notably from 

 Angrcecum in habit and form of flower, in the elongate 

 foot of the column, and the singular spur, and as Bentham 

 remarks (Gen. Plant, hi. 576), they are more allied to 

 Mrides than to Angrcecum. Reichenbach, on the other 

 hand, has without comment (WaJp. Ann. vol. vi. 899) 

 introduced a crowd of genuine Angrceca, including fragrans, 

 together with species of other very different genera, into 

 JEranthus, Reichb. f., but omitting both Lindley's species, 

 though at the same time citing JEranthus, Lindl., as a 

 synonym of his JEranthus. 



Descr. Stem six to ten inches long or more, about as 

 thick as a goose-quill, scandent. Leaves few, towards 

 the top of the stem, three to four inches long, by half to 

 three-quarters of an inch broad, spreading and recurved, 

 lorate, deeply two-lobed at the tip, lobes rounded, deeply 

 channelled down the centre, margins recurved. Flowers 

 solitary, axillary or supra-axillary; peduncle ascending 

 or erect, with the ovary two to two and a half inches 

 long, rather stout, sheaths and sheathing bract appressed. 

 Flowers two inches in diameter across the sepals, pure 

 white, fragrant; sepals and petals linear, spreading and 

 recurved, obtuse. Lip about as long as the sepals, hastately 

 lanceolate, acute, grooved down the centre ; spur slender, 

 rather longer than the sepals, green. Column very short, 

 sides subauricled; anther hemispheric, ridged on the 

 crown; pollinia attached one on each side of the acute 

 apex of an oblong entire strap.— J. D. H.
