Although obt. by Msr. Lodd. from the Bot. Gard. at Buitenzorg , I cannot recognize 

 this species among ihose meniioned by Dr. Blume. It has a most singular appearance 

 with stout erect stems , 4' high . swollen in the middle. and terminal racemes of 

 about 16 dingy yellowish brown flowers, as much curled and wavy as ihose of a 

 Gloriosa. The lip has the same duil dirly colour, except along ihe middle , where it 

 is decorated with fine deep wavy plates of a brigh violet. it is of the same sect. as 

 the sweetscented Dd. crumenatum , now so rare in our garden , if it exists at all.
