unguiculate, with two large wings at the upper extremity, and, 
if seen beneath, a small tooth between the wings is observed ; 
and here on the upper surface the epichilium is jomted upon 
the Aypochilium: the former is cordato-ovate, obscurely three- 
lobed, a little reflexed. Column very long, slender, arched, semi- 
terete, enlarged upwards and cucullate just below the helmet- 
shaped anther-case. Pollen-masses two, club-shaped, with a 
long spathulate caudicle. W. J. H. 
Curr. Our knowledge of this singular plant is yet too limited 
to enable us to state the best mode of cultivating it, but judging 
of it by its affinity with Gongora, Mormodes, &c., it may be 
grown in turfy peat in pots well drained and kept in the cool 
division of the Orchideous house, especially during winter when 
the plant is in a state of rest; at which time it should receive 
little or no water, but when it begins to show symptoms of com- 
mencing to grow it should then receive the stimulus of heat and 
moisture, placing it near the glass and shading it from the mid- 
day sun in summer. J. 8.
