Botanical Cabinet. We are indebted for a drawing and 
specimen, to our often-mentioned contributor, Mrs. Hors- 
FALL, of Everton, Liverpool, in whose rich collection it 
flowered in the autumn of 1835. 
Descr. Bulbs oblong-oval, rather compressed, deeply 
furrowed, bearing two oblong-lanceolate, dark green, cori- 
aceous, obscurely nerved leaves. Scape from the base of 
the bulb, a foot or a foot and a half high, with a simple 
raceme of large flowers at the extremity. Perianth spread- 
ing. Sepals more or less reflexed, oblong, acute, atten- 
uated below, the two lateral ones connate for some way up 
from the base, all of them waved, of a greenish-brown 
colour, spotted. Petals broadly obovate, obtuse, much 
waved and crisped, of a rich brown colour, the claw 
yellow, spotted with red above, beneath green. Lip much 
contracted at the base, where it has a thick double crest, 
yellow spotted with red, and bearing two small, yellow, 
horn-shaped lobes, the central lobe very large, roundish- 
cordate, much crisped, coloured like the petals. Column 
yellow, marked and spotted with deep red, expanding 
upwards into two deep serrated wings. Anther-case ovate, 
acuminated, but truncated at the apex. Pollen-masses 
oval, yellow, on a long and broad white caudicula, which 
has an ovate brown gland at its base.
