 Raccnie siraple. Flowers bright yellow. dotted with crimson. Column wings half 

 ovate, obluse. repand ; lip with the middle lobe serrate and deeply lobed. I am in- 

 dfbted to l'rof. Kchb. for Rithard's siiecitic cliaracter of 0. Guiberiianum iu De 

 la Sagra's work on Cuba, which is not within my reach. There is iio doubt ihat it 

 is a .synonym of 0. Lemonir>num. Prof. Rchb. informs me, that the copy of the work 

 in ihe Derlin library wants ihe plate relerred to by Richardin thetext — Antigua. LMule.
