ton of the Rev. Mr. Clowes. A native of India, and imported 
in the year 1838: we have since received it direct from Calcutta. 
Descr. From an elongated, creeping, scaly caudex, about as 
thick as a swan’s quill, arise, at rather distant intervals, the 
oblong, somewhat compressed, smooth, green pseudo-bulbs, scaly 
at the base, bearing above two broadly lanceolate, waved, very 
acute, between membranaceous and coriaceous, faintly striated 
leaves. Raceme of from three to five rather large, handsome, 
secund flowers, each when young and in bud enclosed in a 
Sheathing, narrow, acuminated dractea. Perianth ochre-yellow ; 
sepals oval-oblong, rather acute, concave ; petals shorter than 
the sepals (and with the upper sepal almost connivent over the 
column). Lip large, oblong-spathulate, three-lobed, ochraceous, 
the disk dark purple-brown, and furnished with two elevated 
crisped lines or Jamelle, three-lobed; side lobes convolute,
