of Brown) orange-coloured, terminated behind in two spurs, 
rather shorter than the germen; border slightly 3-lobed, middle 
lobe recurved at the point, lateral ones dependent. Petals 5, 
oblong, nearly equal, connate at the base ; two lateral ones 
spreading like wings, the other three all dependent, the pos- 
terior one almost concealed by the two anterior. Germen 
somewhat curved, not at all twisted, plain at the back part 
and marked with five angles in front. In most of the orchidez 
the twisting of the germen occasions the labellum (nectarium 
of Lixnzvus) to become anterior, but this part in the genus 
Satyrium having no twist, the labellum remains posterior, 
but is, nevertheless, as pointed out by Brown, the true 
labellum, as is proved by its relative situation with respect to 
the column and seminal receptacles. Column slender, bowed, 
with a bilabiate termination : upper-lip emarginate : lower- 
lip 3-toothed, bearing a mucilaginous mass, to the under 
surface of which the processes of the pollen-masses are 
inserted. Pollen-masses 2-lobed, in distinct egg-shaped 
cells. When the pollen-masses are drawn out of the.cells, 
their processes bring away attached to their points the above 
mentioned mucilaginous substance. ge 2: 
The outline figures represent a back view of the corolla, a 
front and side views of the column and anthers. 
This very rare and beautiful Saryrium is a native of the 
Cape of Good Hope; and was communicated by Messrs. 
Barr and Brooke, from their very interesting collection at 
Newington Green. Flowers in May. Thrives well in a 
mixture of peat and loam. |
