margin and somewhat ciliate; incurved at the base into a 

 tube concealing the column of fructification. In our plant 

 the base is incurved in the same manner, but the incurvation 

 is continued in some degree to the extremity, and the whole 

 labellum is much shorter. The stems of our plant are most 

 probably pendulous in their natural state, though trained under 

 cultivation in an upright direction ; it is not unlikely too that 

 in an older plant the flowering stems may be entirely destitute 

 of leaves which was the case towards the extremity, as shown 

 in our figure ; but the different form of the labellum, to say 

 nothing of the colour of the flower, will, we imagine, always, 

 keep them distinct.
