spotted with rich purple-brown. Lip deep yellow, and 
spotted, three-lobed, the lateral lobes oblong, reflexed, 
jagged; the middle one much larger, obcuneate, with two 
prominent ridges near the base. Column flattened, short, 
with two ovate, jagged wings, which embrace the ovato- 
acuminate, two-celled anther. Germen linear -clavate, 
twisted. 
For the opportunity of figuring this interesting plant, I 
am indebted to the kindness of W. Townsenp Arron, Esq. ; 
_who sent me a drawing taken from a plant which had blos- 
somed in the Royal Gardens of Kew, in March, 1825. It 
was transmitted from New South Wales, by Mr. Arian Cun- 
nincuam, 1823. From the specimens in my Herbarium it 
would appear that this plant is liable to much variation in 
the size and colour of its flowers; which are, indeed, among 
the most elegant of the family: but the colour and the 
markings of the blossoms in the “ Exotic Botany” figure, 
as Mr. Brown observes, are far from being well executed.
