ceptibly odorous almost vitellinous in color. Calyx-lobes adout half 

 an inch lon^ or not much longer ; saccate basal Prolongation of the 

 labellum about as long as the ovary at the time of flowering, filled 

 with nectar-liquid ; free portion of the labellum soruewhat hastate. 



This handsome and evidently rare plant is closely allied to Calanthe 

 curculigoides , from which it differs in the üowers being more bent 

 downwards, in the smaller lateral lobules of the labellum, in the shorter 

 much thicker and straight spur and also in the not long-pointed 

 x-ostellum ; from C. speciosa it is distinct in having smaller flowers, the 

 inner calyx-lobes or petals not rhombiform and the labellum not 

 cristate but somewhat turgid from callosities towards the base; from 

 C. ventilabra in the outer calyx-lobes not being acuminate and in the 

 labellum not being provided with five radiating elevations. 



This is the third Calanthe rendered known from New Caledonia, 

 where the widely distributed C. veratrifolia occurs as well as the 

 endemic C. angraeciflora (G. Reichenbach in Grarcke's Linnaea, 

 XLI. 75); but Limodorum unguiculatum (Labillardiere sertum 19 t. 25), 

 placed by Bentham (Benth. and Hook. gen. III. 521) also generically 

 under Calanthe, belongs to Spathoglottis , as shown already by G. 

 Reichenbach in See mann 's Flora Vitiensis, 300.]
