towards the extremity ; the upper or inner side sprinkled | 
almost all over with blackish- purple spots: they are — 
patent or even reflexed. Column short, standing out ho- — 
rizontally, thickened upwards, nearly plane, within pale — 
yellow-green, united for nearly its whole length with the — 
lip, whose free part is cordate, acute, within having two — 
elevated longitudinal lines, which are slightly downy. 
Anther-case yellow, lodged in a depression at the top of the 
column, where there is a small three-toothed scale. Pollen 
Masses in two pairs, each pair having its caudicult com-

From the collection of Ricuarp Harrison, Esq. of Liver- 
1, who obligingly communicated a fine specimen of this 
interesting plant, with a drawing by his sister, Mrs. Arnow 
Harrison, in January, 1832. The root was sent from Rio 
by Mr. Wirt1am Harrison. 
At is extremely unlike any other species of the Genus 
with which I am acquainted, and the flowers are very beau- 
tiful. The leaves, too, have a remarkable appearance, 
being spotted with a darker colour.
