(A) Lip coniracted at ihe point and nearly even. Leaves sessile. 



(B) Lip wider at the point aiid rugose. Leaves wilh long slalks; flowers smaller. 

 This species. although one of the smallest in stature. has larger flowers than any, 



The leaves in .\ are sessile. the raceme very dense and somewhat globular, and the 

 sepals and pelals very acute ; the lip is ovate with a slighlly dilated emarginate 

 point , within which it is nearly smooth ; the sac of the lip is a mere dimple and 

 hardly visible externally. although ils origin its overlooked by a pair of large callo- 

 siiies. Flowers white ; in A ihey are very like ihe flgure of G. citrinum in Andrews' 

 Repository. Probably the two supposcd varieties will be hereafter distinguished. 

 They are very dilTerent in habit.

9. GEODORUM CITRLNUM Jackson in B. Rep. t. 626. LO., no. 5. Lindl. I. c. sub 9 : 

 This, the original species of llie genus , is known by its pale-yellow flowers , and 

 lip without a irace of appendage or callosity upon its surface. The flowers are no 

 doubt exoggerated as to size in the flgure in Andrews' Repository ; according to 

 Dr. Wallich's Chittagong speciuien, ihey are about as large as in G. dilatatum.
