Since the foregoing was set up I have learnt that the 

 same plant has produced a female inflorescence, but the 

 flowers are not quite fully developed. They are green, and 

 apparently present similar difiPerences from the male as 

 those of G. Bandii, Rolfe, plate T470. 



Descr. — Pseudobiilbs ovoid, annulate, three to five-leaved. 

 Leaves six to twelve inches long, oblong-lanceolate, acumi- 

 nate, with three principal nerves, base narrowed into a 

 short, concave petiole. Peduncle stout, decurved, together 

 with the secund raceme about a foot long ; rhachis of 

 raceme very stout. Bracts half an inch long, lanceolate. 

 Pedicels twice as long as the bracts. Flowers two inches 

 long across the sepals, which are sub-equal, oblong, acute, 

 the dorsal erect, the lateral deflexed, all pale green, with 

 large, dark, red-purple blotches. Petals erect, placed 

 opposite to the dorsal sepal, and of the same size, shape, 

 and colour. Lip shorter than the sepals, shortly clawed, 

 broadly ovate, decurved, golden-yellow, speckled with 

 dark purple, margins fimbriate-dentate ; disk saccate at 

 the base, depressed about the middle. Column an inch 

 long, very stout, with a long, incurved beak; antenn93 

 subulate, deflexed, incurved. Anther with a long obtuse 

 beak.—/. D. H.
