1840. Misc. 126. — {A. indtvisHm LO. 70. nec Blumii). 



Foliis coriaceis ovatis vel brevissime cultratis obtusis , floribus soli- > 

 tariis terminalibus, labello lineari-oblongo emarginato ecristato apice 

 ciliato-dentalo et minutissime pubescente. 



Sincapore , found by Mr. Prince, who comm. it to Wallich with a rudedrawing, upon 

 which it was admitied by me inio the LO. as synon. wiih A. indivisum of Dr. Blume. 

 It having lately been brought home from ihe same place in a living state by Mr. 

 Cuming , under the name. of ,,Lions mouih" and Msr. Loddiges having sent it to me 

 in flower , J am now able to state, that it is in realily a species distinct from that of 

 Blume, in its labellum not having a transverse crest , and probably in other cir- 

 cumstances. It has therefore received a name in aliusion tothatjust mentioned, which 

 has arisen from a fancied resemblance beetween ihe reddish brown ringent flower 

 and the narrow blunt undivided lip , which are compared to ihe jaws and tongue 

 of a lion. However, notwilhstanding this high sounding comparison, the plant is 

 of no beauty.
