cream-coloured, but little spotted; three-lobed, the disk 
with an oblong, downy swelling, the two lateral lobes in- 
curved, the terminal one somewhat recurved, cordate, 
acute. Column of a deep, almost black-purple, as well as 
the anther, which is hemispherical. Pollen-masses four, 
deep yellow, obovate, connected by the base with a short 
stalk, which spreads laterally into a transversely linear, in- 
curved gland. 
This is another of the many new Orchideous plants 
received by Mrs. Arnotp Harrison, from her brother in 
Brazil, where it was gathered in that spot, so fertile in 
vegetables of this family, the Organ Mountains. It flow- 
ered during the month of December in Mrs. Harrison’s 
stoves, and is eminently deserving a place in every collection 
from the size and beauty of its blossoms. The colour and 
markings are exceedingly beautiful.
