(Otto Hamb. Allgem. Gartenzeitung XVI. 1860. p. 520.) 
Genus affine Grammàtophyllo et Cymbidio, ab illo Gett integra, ab utroque sepalis lateralibus 
saceatogibberosis calcar spurium efformantibus bene diversum. - : 
Sepalum dorsale oblongum acutum fornicatum. Sepala lateralia subaequalia, basi utraque in 
saccum didymum expansa. Tepala ligulata acuta. Labellum liberum a basi flabellato dilatatum tri- 
fidum, laciniae laterales divaricato angulatae, iacinia media triangula porrecta, per discum utrinque 
quadricristatum, cristulis brevioribus geminis antice interpositis. Columna clavata, basi dilatata ex- 
cavata. Anthera mitrata cum processu verticali pedicellato retuso.  Rostellum transversum supra 
foveam parvam.  Pollinia gemina sphaerica, postice fissa, cava, sessilia in caudicula transversa 
utrinque acuta.

fleshy than these of Angrecum eburneum. „The genus Grammatophyllum is nearly allied to Cymbi- 
dium, that the two may possibly be united hereafter. They differ however, first in the presence 
of à sac at the base of both the column and lip, and secondly usually in the ses Of Gram- 
` matophyllum being attached towards each extremity of a lunate gland. The first of these characters 
is the more important; the second can only be regarded as subordinate. It is in the first that the 
plant before us corresponds with Grammatophyllum; in the second it approaches Cymbidium. As to 
habit, the first of these two genera includes very dissimilar plants, Grammatophyllum speciosum 
(Tab. 5157.) being caulescent, this and Gr. multiflorum being pseudobulbous, a circumstance exactly 
analogous to what occurs in the great genera Dendrobium, Epidendrum, Oncidium“ ete
