lowest) reflexed or even revolute, two lateral ones very 
patent, all of them greenish without, spotted with deep 
purple within : two inner ones dingy purple, narrow, lan- 
ceolate, with a rather curved claw, at length patent. Lip 
ascending, linear-lanceolate, thick and fleshy, attenuated at 
its upper extremity, and obliquely notched, the lower half bi- 
partite, the segments subulate, pointing towards the centre 
of the flower ; stipes or peduncle inserted at the back of the 
lip, curved, slender. Colwmn club-shaped, a little curved, 
so that its summit meets the centre of the upper side of the 
lip, purple. Anther-case oblongo-hemispherical, obscurely 
two-celled, attached to the back of the top of the column 
by a slender ligament, and by means of which, after the 
anther is separated from the top of the stigma, it is often 
suspended. Pollen of two pale-yellow, oblong masses, at- 
tenuated at the base, where they are attached to a short, 
deep Xeuen stalk, at the base of which is a flat, waxy 
Stand. : 
Communicated with a drawing from the rich collection 
of Aigburgh, by the kindness of Mrs. Arnorp Harrison. 
It was gathered in woods, above Botafogo Bay, Brazil, by 
the brother of that lady, Henry Harrison, Esq. It flow- 
ered in June, 1829. 
Whatever opinion may be entertained concerning the 
Genus of Goneora speciosa of this work, t. 2755, there can 
be none respecting this plant, which in the general struc- 
ture of its flowers exhibits the greatest similarity with those 
of Ruiz and Pavon’s Goneora, and with the G. atropur- 
purea, figured in Exotic Flora, tab. 178. .The general 
appearance of the Cymprprum dependens, Bot. Cab. t. 936, 
is very similar to this plant ; but there, the colour of the 
centre of the flower especially, is widely different, and of 
its structure I have no means of judging. It is, however; 
considered to be a native of China.
