6?CYRT0PERA PEDICELLATA Lindl. Orch. 190. — Lindl. in Bot. Mag. Comp. H. 

 p. 204: It is very singular, ihat Cyrtopera pedicellata, the Satyrium capense of Lin- 

 naeus, which Thunberg says grows near Zeekorivier and elsewhere, has nol yet been 



found in any of ihe rich collections of Messra nor in the old herbaria of Vahl 



and Ilornemann. The specimen in the Linnaean Herbarium, without leaves. shows 

 thai I was right in considering it a Cyrtopera. It is very distinct from any thing 

 else, and is perbaps the smallest of the geiius. It is most like a smali siate of Eulo- 

 phia trislis. 



Obs. Planta hic linquatur. Non videiur esse illa, quam sub Cymbidio pedicellato 

 descripsi.
