In the form of the root and general habit, this plant corre- 

 fponds with N eott i a JpecioJa y but differs confiderably in the 

 form of the flower; there is however a great fimilarity in the 

 ftructure of the ftyle, which is four-fided, truncate, and ter- 

 minated with a fharp coloured point, and is hollowed out in 

 the upper furface to receive the anther or anthers ; for Swartz 

 confiders this plant, with mod of the orchide<e, as monandrous, 

 having a two-celled anther, in each of which is a diftincl lobe 

 or mafs of pollen, the fcarious membrane containing thefe 

 lobes is confidered by Jacquin as the filament, but in our 

 plant there is a fhort flefliy fubftance rifing from the bafe of 

 the ftyle, which we fhould call the filament, as it fupports the 

 anther and raifes it out of the hollow of the ftyle when thefe 

 parts are feparated. Thefe 1 organs are at firft all enclofed 

 within the nectarium.
