CONSPECTUS TABULARUM. 5 
Descr.—Terrestrial. Stem 8-12 inches high, bearing a single leaf 
near the base. Leaf 3-1 inch long, wider than its length, closely clasping 
the stem, roundish-cordate or reniform, spreading. Spike 10-15 -flowered 
or more, 4-8 inches long. Bracts resembling the leaves, horizontally 
patent, scarcely equalling the ovary, much shorter than the capsule. 
Back sepal strongly keeled, very convex, forming with the petals a 
helmet-shaped, narrow-mouthed galea. Lateral sepals horizontally 
spreading, ovato-lanceolate, concave, saccate toward the base, shortly 
clawed.  Labellum reflected on the column, narrow-linear, acute; with 
a lanceolate appendix in front. 
For a knowledge of this very remarkable species of Disperis, T am 
originally indebted to Mr. Hallack, who procured it from Mr. Fannin. 
More recently I have received specimens from Mr. Sanderson, who 
describes the flowers as “lilac, grey and green.”

Descr.—An epiphyte. Stem 3-6 inches or more in length, 3-4 lines 
diameter, closely covered with clasping distichous leaves. Leaves 
3-5 inches long, 3-1inch wide, very rigid, thickish, striate when dry, 
obliquely emarginate. Racemes pendulous, many flowered. racts 
broadly ovate, loose, dry and membranous. Ovary subsessile, tapering 
at base. Flowers cream-coloured, the younger greenish-yellow. Sepa/s 
and petals narrow, tapering to a sharp recurved point. Labellum linear- 
lanceolate, acute, with a long, arched, funnel-shaped spur. 
Common in the Eastern districts. Notwithstanding the discrepancy 
of Thunberg’s description, I think that his Limodorum longicornu must 
be meant for this plant. If not, what can it be? No recent collector 
has found any thing more like it.
