the pot im which the plant grows, large and fragrant. 
Petals singularly reflexed, pale dingy yellow, the outer, 
(that which is, in the most usual position of an orchideous 
flower, the uppermost one), broadly ovato-lanceolate, con- 
cave, the margins reflexed ; the two lateral outer ones broad, 
rotundato-ovate, very concave, acute, waved, all of the 
three striated externally, interiorly sparingly dotted with 
purple : two innermost petals broadly linear, rather acute, 
much waved at the margin, spotted with purple within. 
Labellum, from the position of the flower, pendent, sessile, 
urless, narrow where it is affixed to the receptacle, of a 
thick and fleshy, almost waxy nature, between hemispheri- 
cal and globose, and hollow, hence saccate, and, as it were, 
inflated, the mouth oblong; contracted, the margins reflex- 
ed; of an almost white colour, spotted and blotched with 
dark purple: at the extremity of this, is what I call, from 
the extreme contraction of the base where it is set and fixed 
on to the labellum, an appendage, though it is, in reality, a 
continuation of the substance of the labellum: this append- 
age is nearly as large as the lip itself, deeply tripartite, the 
two lateral lobes or segments linear, acuminate, incurved, 
and slightly spirally so, the intermediate lobe very large, 
cordate, somewhat carinated at the back, acute at the point, — 
the sides curved upwards, the margins reflexed ; the whole 
_ of this is white, beautifully spotted internally with deep 
purple ; without faintly oneal with yellow, and marked 
witha few and rather obscure spots. Colwmn standing out 
parallel with the lip, free from adherence with the petals, 
slightly-incurved, semi-cylindrical, emarginate at the extre- 
pre i below which, and principally confined to the upper 
half, there proceed two semi-circular and somewhat mem- 
branous wings; the whole white, or partially tinged with 
yellow, marked with innumerable small, and ‘generally 
oblong purple spots. Within the notch, at the extremity 
of the column is fixed, the operculate, oblong, acuminate, 
yellow Anther, its extremity lying over an obscure concave 
pe fe and from beneath which, there protrudes the white, 
oblong, at one end acuminate,-at the other rounded and 
_ bifid, gland of the stalks of the pollen masses. Pollen 
Masses two, linear-clavate, deep yellow, waxy, with a 
groove at the back of each, these are fixed to a rather short, 
white pedicel, and that again is attached, by its base, to the 
white gland above mentioned, which stands out beyond the 
point of the Anther-case. Germen four to five inches long; 
nearly cylindrical, scarcely twisted.
