 recurvis composilis, sepalis petalisque oblongis lolundatis, labelli la- 

 niina rotundata transversa sacco subveutricoso pubescenle. 



This litlle epiphyte, which was received from Ceylon by Col. Fielding, is so like 

 Saccolabiura micranthum , ihat it might be easily raistaken for it. The one is how- 

 ever o genuine Saccolabiura , the oiher a irue Cleisostoma. S. micranihum has pink 

 flowers wiih a looth proceeding from ihe base of the hlade of ihe labellum; C. de- 

 cipiens has dirty ochre coioured flowcrs wiih a looth springing from ihe hark of tho 

 spur jusl below the column. Il is an insignif]canl plant.

Foliis oblongis oblusis apice subaequalibus bilobis, floribus panicn- 



lalis; ramis simplicibus fleidis, petalis sepalisque linearibus obtusis, 



labelli calcare venlricoso lamiiia reniformi dente membranaceo bilobo. 



A Vanda-like 0. from Sincapore. Lodd. imp. Very like Cl. latilolium.. but has 



broader leavos and ihere are (lifferences in the form of the labellum. Its flowers are

kingly so.

 pedunculo elongalo multo brevioribus, panicula parva contracta, brachiis 

 basi nudis, floribus congeslis subcorymbosis, sepalis pelalisque oblon- 

 gis oblusis, labelli Irilobi laciniis lateralibus erectis rotundatis inter- 

 media ovata acula laevi, calcare inlus antice carnoso gibboso denle 

 dorsali plano erecto Iruncato eroso. 



Leaves 9 inches long, by P/a broad. Flowers dull, dingy, yellowish brown, much

 a racre variety of il.
