Pulcherrima. Scapus nudus v. squamis (1-2) minutis basi-solutis in- 

 structus. Pedicelli calcari longiores v. breviores, fructiferi saepe laxe 

 patentes v. dependentes. Calyx lobo superiore late rotundato plus

Corolla lilacina, fauce flavo (fid. sched. Parish). 



Corollae labium inferius basi 2-4 lin. latum, nonuunquam latius, magni-

I am unable to satisfy myself of the identity of this plant with the 

 U. striatula of Smith, from the imperfect examples preserved in the 

 Smithian herbarium or the British Museum. If they be not the same 

 species, they are certainly very closely allied, as already noted by Ben- 

 jamin, who, indeed, quotes Smith's name as synonymous with U. orbi- 

 culata. Benjamin is certainly in error in describing the lower lip of the 

 corolla in the latter plant as 4-lobed.
