Evidently widely spread in western ‘Tropical Africa. 
M. micropetala (Schitr.) Summerh. may prove to be con- 
specific, but the type specimen, although not well pre- 
served, seems to have a shorter erect rostellum. 
M.caespitosa may be recognised by the short inflores- 
cences, long spur wider at both apex and base and the 
remarkable rostellum. This is deflexed at first and ad- 
pressed (perhaps adnate) to the column but the distal half 
projects forwards and upwards for an equal distance so as 
to be level with the anther. This upright part bears the 
long oblanceolate viscidium, the stipes being V-shaped 
to fit the rostellum and slightly widened above where the 
globose pollinia are attached.

Schlechter places this among the long-stemmed species 
but the description states ‘‘ramis brevibus usque 2 cm. 
longis,’’ while in the other features L can detect no re- 
semblance to the species of Hu-gussonea. The species ap-
