lorum in perianthium monophyllum connata. Petala unguiculata, apice 
cucullata marginibus fimbriatis. Zabellwm liberum, basi concavum fim- 
briatum. Anthera supina, loculis parallelis basi approximatis. Glan-

H. fimbriata, Harv. in Herb. T. C. D. 
Has.—From the Natal country, R. Hallack. (Herb. T. C. D.) 
Descr.—Terrestrial. Stem 1-14 f. high, sheathing at base, bearing 
two leaves. Leaves on longish sheaths, cordate, acute or acuminate, 
2-3 inches long, 14-24 inches wide, membranous, with a midrib and 
several arching lateral nerves connected by irregularly inosculating 
veinlets. Spike many-flowered, 3-6 inches long, lax. Bracts lanceo- 
late, acuminate, about equalling the ovary. lowers 4 lines long. 
Posterior sepal on a longish claw, ovate, lacerato-fimbriate, rising be- 
tween the petals; lateral, tapering at base into short claws, ovate- 
oblong, obtuse, lacerato-fimbriate. Petals on long, slender claws, having 
a concave fringed limb, directed forwards. Labellum hollow at base, 
expanded, flabelliform, fringed on the rounded portion. Stigma and 
glands not observed, owing to the decayed state of the flowers. 
This curious Orchid has so many points in common with Huttonca 
pulchra, figured in the preceding plate, that I much wished to place it in 
the same genus. The form of the anther, however (if correctly given), 
compels me to form a genus for it; and this I gladly dedicate to Mr. 
Hallack, of Port Elizabeth, to whom I am indebted for specimens of 
this and of several other rare frontier plants.
