at the end, five inclies long, IVn broacl , 6" high. After onc Qower-spike has grown 

 eight or ten inches , anolher pushes from Ihe under side of it, so ihat it produces 

 two spikes from ihesame point. I have never seen it before. Certainly no»OrnithochiIus, 

 wheihcr ihat gcnus may bc retained , or merged to Aorides. From Arrhynchium, Ca- 

 raarotis and the iike its simple pollenmasses and unguiculate lip clearly separate it. 

 It can be no Micropera because of its unguiculate lip , short rostel and nor do we 

 find among the species lo Saccolabium anything, liiai approaches it at all.
