by error, in Fl. Brit. Ind.), a native of the Malayan 
Peninsula, with more crowded flowers of a much duller 
colour. It is possible that these four species may all prove 
to be forms of one. A fifth, A. revoluta (FI. Brit. Ind. vol. 
v. p. 858), from Perak, in the Malayan Peninsula, appears 
to be different from any of the above; it has short recurved 
leaves with strongly revolute margins, white sepals and 
petals with light red tips, and the lip yellow within with 
purple lobes tipped with blue. 
A. bambusaefolia attains an exceptional height of seven 
feet amongst long grass, and its stem the thickness of the 
thumb at the base; its raceme is sometimes branched. The 
figure is made from a plant in the collection of F. Wigan, . 
Esq., of Clare Lodge, East Sheen, which flowered in 
October of last year. Mr. Watson informs me that at 
Kew it flowers in November and December, and that the 
flowers are very fugacious.—J. D. H.
