outside : the upper lip is ficsliy, and similarly veined ; the 

 under side of it, as well as the narrow elongated part, is 

 of a very dark brown colour, tinged with yellow at the 

 point. From the bottom to the throat of the flower is about 

 2 inches : the length of the lip is nearly 18 inches. 



" The plant grows freely in the stove, in light rich 

 loam, and is readily propagated by means of its creeping 

 roots. It flowered at Carclew on the 15th of June last: 

 the flowers only continue for a few days." 



For this we are indebted to the kindness of Sir Charles 

 Lemon, who communicated specimens, along with the 

 above description and remarks, by Mr. William Beattie 

 Booth. It is similar in many respects to A. trilobata, 

 already flgured at fol. 1399 of this volume; but difl'ers in 

 its flowers being smaller, differently coloured, and with a 

 lip, the lamina of which is much shorter than the tube, and 

 also in the figure of the leaves, which have shorter petioles.
