The Genus Myanruus was founded by Professor Linney 
(see Bot. Reg. t. 1721,) upon a plant which I had referred, 
when I was ignorant of the Myanruus of Linptey, to Cara- 
serum (CatasErum trifidum, Bot. Mag. t.3262,) from which 
it appears to me only to differ in the spreading, three-lobed 
lip. In his valuable “ Genera et Species Orchidearum,” 
the learned author remarks that, “ Caraserum cristatum is 
intermediate between this Genus and Caraserum.” The 
present plant is, however, by the same Botanist, in the 
Register, 
* From pu, a fly, and aos, a flower. ‘ The flowers look when dried 
very much like a pressed fly.”
