‘plant, which is certainly the O. gigantea of Sir J. E. Smrru. 
It was found by Dr. Bucuanan in Upper ae a and in the 
Mysore country, and we possess specimens from the Coun- 
tess of Datnousie, gathered by her ladyship at Simla in 
Nepal. The true Orcuis Susanne appears to be confined 
to Amboyna, and Sir J. Smirn describes the flowers as of 
a very brilliant white. About Bombay, Mr. Nimmo says, 
the present species is extremely rare: its flowers measure 
nearly four inches between the extremes of the two lateral 
sepals. 
Descr. Stem from three and a half to four feet high, 
erect, stout, very leafy : lower /eaves broadly elliptical con- 
cave, gradually passing upwards with sheathing bracteas. 
Raceme of four to six, very large, greenish white, very 
fragrant flowers. Three outer petals, or sepals, obovate, 
spreading, the upper one peculiarly broad: two inner ones, 
or petals, linear, falcate, about as long as the outer. Lip 
rge, tripartite: the lateral lobes pectinated, curved up- 
wards ; the intermediate one linear-spathulate, entire, stand- 
ing forward: spur very long, green: Anther large, the base 
of the cells remote. Pollen mass club-shaped; granules 
brownish-yellow.
