 " Flowers brown." 



This bas the habit of O. pleistophylla , J. J. Sm., of Celebes, but differs from all of this 

 group known to me in the extremely slender rbachis of the raceme, and in the shape of 

 the lip. The flowers are very minute, and in the only raceme present are in bud, so 

 that it is difficult to make out the structure.
