 Alihough ihc pollen ap()aratus of this is not knowu to me, yet its habit, so much like 

 ihal of V. gigantea, and ils ihick lcathery lip, lead lo the placing il in Vanda. The 

 lcaves in ihe specimen before me are nearly a fool loiig and one and ihrce-quarters 

 of an inch broad. The racemcs are erect, very dense , with broad short niembranous 

 renexed bracts when the flowers have fallcn. The laltcr are much less fleshy than 

 in V. gigantea etc. Two elevalcd liairy lines pass from within ihe spur diverging in 

 ihe middle and reuniting at ihe contracted portion of ihe lip.
