M. Scottit belongs to a rather large section of the genus 
(Crepidium, Blume) with the sides of the lip produced 
upwards into two elongate auricles, to which section also 
belong M. metallica (Tab. 6668) and M. Josephiana (Tab. 
6325). 
The Royal Gardens are indebted to those of Singapore 
for the specimen here figured, which was received from 
Mr. Ridley in October, 1891, and flowered in the tropical 
orchid house in May of the present year.—J. D. H.
