having several linear, subulate, pale, membranaceous brac- 
tex, similar to those which accompany the flowers, which 
are few, at the extremity of the scape, drooping. Perianth 
of five deep divisions or petals, very pale yellowish green, 
each lanceolate, rather obtuse, united at the base below 
into an obtuse, brown, spur-like process. Lip about equal 
in length with the petals, almost white, oblong, having two 
obscure tubercles at the base, the margin thin, waved, the 
extremity a little recurved. Column white, Anther-case 
operculiform, hemispherical. Pollen Masses four, two small 
and two large, yellow, waxy, attached toa whitish gland. 
Received at the Glasgow Botanic Garden from the island 
of St. Vincent, by favour of the Rev. Lanspown Guixpine, 
and cultivated in the same way as other parasitical Or- 
CHIDE# in the stove, where it flowers in September. It has 
much affinity with the Denprosium squalens of Mr. Linp- 
Ley, in Bot. Reg. t. 732; but, besides the different form of 
the bulbs.and colour of the flowers, that plant is said to 
have the pollen masses two in number, with a furrow on 
one side, whence Mr. Linptey has subsequently constituted 
of it the Genus Xytosium (Bot. Reg. t. 897.)
