cylindrico terminata, mento brevi. Petala minuta, ovata, obtusa. Labellum 

 hastatum, obtusum. Colmnna recta, lata, ventre late excavato, margine clinandrii 

 elevato. 

 Camp VI a, 3100 ft 



A single specimen with two flowers. I am doubtful as to the position of this very 

 curious little plant, which is remarkable for its flexuous raceme and its minute globular 

 flowers. The upper sepal has a globose black knob on the top, the others have cylindric 

 processes or tails. 



Agrostophyllum RiGiDrFOLiTJM, Kidl., sp. nov. 



Caules 21-31 cm. longi, coraplanati, 1 cm. lati. Folia rigida, coriacea, Integra, 

 6-7 cm. longa, 1 cm. lata, linearia, lanceolata, obtusa, apice inaequaliter biloba, 

 vaginis 2 cm. longis complanatis oblongis. Capitulum sessile, nutans, 2 cm. longum 

 et latum. Bractece oblongse, lanceolatse, cuspidatse. Pedicellus ovario incluso 

 5 mm. longus. Sepala lanceolata, acuta, 3 mm. longa, carinata. Petala breviora, 

 1 mm. longa, linearia, obtusa. Labellum basi saccatum, oblongum, rotundatum, 

 ad basin lobi medii callo oblongo emarginato munitum, lobo medio subtiilobo ovato, 

 lobis lateralibus rotundatis, apice lanceolato acuto. Columna curva, crassiuscula, 

 stelidiis oblongis truncatis magnis. Anthera calcariformis, magna. Pollinia 8, 

 elongata, pyriformia, in caudiculum attenuata. Rostellum bifidum, breve. 

 Camp III, 2500 ft. 

 Allied to A. brachiata, J. J. Sm., but with entire rounded truncate arms to the column 



and a distinctly three-lobed lip, acute at the tip, instead of being ovate entire and obtuse. 



The leaves are close-set and very stiff and short in proportion to their length. The callus 



is rather large, oblong-truncate, retuse at the top, with two short i^rocesses on the 



outer face.

 Camps I, 700 ft, and VI «, 3100 ft. 

 The flowers have perished, so I have some doubt as to the species.
