the Botanical Magazine from the Royal Gardens at Kew, 
by the obliging attentions of Mr. Arron. It was imtro- 
duced by Mr. Arran CunNINGHAM, from the neighbour- 
hood of Port Jackson, in 1827, and our drawing was made 
there in April of last year, 1834. ‘The flower is so large in 
proportion to the size of the plant, as to render this one of 
the most striking of the species yet known in cultivation. 
Descr. Root, two small tubers at the end of a branching 
fibre. Leaves few, three to four, radical, oblong - ovate, 
waved at the margin, reticulate. Scape a span high, in 
native specimens bearing only one bractea, in our plant, as 
in the cultivated state of P. concinna, three or four, closely 
embracing the scape. Flowers solitary, terminal, nearly 
erect, but much curved, large, greenish-white. Galea much 
acuminated. Lower sepal with two acuminated, divaricating 
segments, about as long as the galea. Labellum \inear- 
oblong, acuminated, bearing at its base a pedicellated tuft 
of glandular hairs (the appendage). Column scarcely so 
long as the lip: its wings small, white, with two setiform 
appendages at the top.
