This is extremely like the last, from which it is certainly 

 possible that it may not be different; I, however, have seen 

 no specimens which fully agree with Feuillee's figure; but 

 while I think it necessary to separate this from C. disoides, till 

 something further shall have been ascertained, I am also 

 bound to add, that the grounds upon which I form my belief 

 are too vague to deserve being particularized.

 acuminatis floribus longioribus, sepalis inferioribus ascenden- 

 tibus apice acuminatis linearibus, labello sessili basi bicalloso : 

 lobis lateralibus planis cristaque depauperatis ; medio sinuato 

 linguiformi nudo apice carnoso, columna nana. 



Sponte crescentem juxta Co?iception, Octohre floridam legit M'^Rae (v. s. sp.) 

 A plant with the habit of Stenorhynchus speciosus. Stem nine inches 

 high, with long sheathing squamae. Bracteas with very tapering 

 points, much longer than the flowers. Sepals all ascending : the upper 

 membranous, veiny, oblong ; the lateral inner ones shorter, but of the 

 same form and texture ; the lower ovate-acuminate, erect, membra- 

 nous at the base, with fleshy, linear, obtuse flat ends. Labellum erect, 

 parallel with the columna, sessile, cordate at base, and connate with 

 the columna, slightly pubescent on each side ; at its base there are two 

 calli; the lateral lobes are rounded, narrow, slightly veiny, with a 

 single tooth in front ; the middle lobe is long, sinuated, fleshy at the 

 end, and veiny along the axis ; crest consisting of a few broken excre- 

 scences situated towards the base. Columna much shorter than the 

 labellum, half round, slightly pubescent, with an erect lobe on each 

 side at the apex. 

 4. C. galeata; bracteis membranaceis ventricosis, sepalo 

 supremo venoso falcato : lat. int. intus glandulosis ; inferioribus 

 divaricatis apice cochleatis carnosis, labello ascendente ungui- 

 culato ; lobis lateralibus cucullatis intus cristatis ; intermedio 

 rotundato carnoso nudo, column^ basi callos^.
