bellum , anil a two ccUed aniher , thai of A. latifolia being eight celled. In the lattfir 

 circumstance indeed it corresponds with the neighbouring genus Cylheris , whose 

 dislinctive character is Iherefore not to be taken from the cells of the anlhers , but 

 from its resupinate flowers and truly calcarate labellum. In Ania the labellum if it 

 appears to have a spur , as is A. angusiifolia , owes thai appearance lo the exiension 

 of the foot of the column. — Bl. Mus. Lugd. Bai. II. 185 : Mitopetalum bicorne.

 Ihe species described by Dr. Lindley, differing as it does so maierially in ihe cbaracter 

 of the lip and ils lamcllae , neither do I feel quite cerlain that the structure of the
