process. Column white, pubescent, attenuated down- 
wards within the spur, and bearing at its lower extremity, 
the obovato-spathulate labellum, which is not patent, but 
applied to the column ; its colour is yellow with red spots ; 
it is subcrenated, and obscurely three-lobed, of which the la- 
teral lobes are involute, and there is an oblong tubercle in 
the centre. Anther-case hemispherical. Pollen-masses two, 
cleft at the back, yellow, waxy, fixed upon a white gland. 
From the rich collection of South American Orchidez of 
Ricuarp Harrison, Esq. at Aegburgh, who received it from 
Rio de Janeiro. It flowered in June, 1827. It may pro- 
bably rank with the Denprogium squalens of the Botanical 
Register, which Mr. LinpLey now makes a Xytogium ; but 
I scarcely see how that genus is distinguished from Maxit- 
LaRIA, according to Mr. Linptey’s character, except in the 
straight, not resupinate perianth, and they might, perhaps, 
both be united without offering much violence to nature.
