columna sub apice auricidata. Giiayana. A fine species closely 



allied to E. flavum. It has a panicle regularly branched up to the apex, 

 nearly a foot and a half long, with each side-branch having from 2-4

 dotted with pui-ple, the labellum white with a purple stain at its base, 

 the flowers ai'omatic, the stem six feet high.
