CycNocHEs sTELLIFERUM Loddiges. The 
terminal portion of a pendulous ra- 
ceme of male flowers. (The complete 
raceme consisted of twenty-three flow- 
ers.) The labellum, with radiating pro- 
cesses, is uppermost in the fully ex- 
panded flower. Above the labellum the 
lateral sepals are shown. The curved 
structure seeming to originate from 
the base of the labellum is the elon- 
gated pendent column with the anther 
and pollinia at the free end.
