Labello unguiculato cordato ovato obluso basi calloso, raargine re- 

 flexo, sepalis petalisque oblusis, rhachi flexuosa. 



I believe. the original species is lost. and its place has been taken by other spe- 

 cies resembiing it enough to he mistaken for it, At least, I musl confess, that I had 

 regarded specimens sent me from time to time by Mr. Bateman. Mr. Barker, Messis. 

 Loddiges and others as mere varieties of Notylia punctata. I am however now 

 satisfled from the examination of specimens from Loddiges, thal the supposed varie- 

 ties constitute at least 5 well marked species etc. The true Noiylia punctata has 

 whiter fiowers, iban any of the others. with a short flexuose raceme and obtuse se- 

 pals, petals and labellum, at the base of the latter of which is an elevated callus.
