 Among ihe species whose lip is united to ihe column , are ihose which . lilie E. 

 ciliare, have that organ broken up into long and beautiful fringes, or at least split into 

 three pieces; they have a long horn - like stem, leafy only attheend, and their flowers 

 invariably grow in racemes ; ihese form the subgenus Aulizeum, along wilh others of 

 less conspicuous beauty , but similar in those respects. They pass into Osmophytum 

 by E. fallax and its ailies , which may be almost equally placed in one subgenus or in 

 the oiher.
