MR. SCOTT Elliot's tropical African orchids. 295 



Habenaria. He also calls attention to the marked peculiarity of 

 these processes, which, instead of being "redresses," and following 

 more or less the direction of the lower extremity of the anther-cells, 

 are "couches sur la base du labelle, avec lequel ils ne contractent 

 d'adhereuce qu'immediatement a leur base." 



On account of the agreement in the remarkable character of the 

 stigmatic processes, I have identified the Kuweuzori plant with the 

 Abyssinian species, in spite of the discrepancy in the shape of its 

 leaves. In this identification Prof. Kranzlin, who kindly gave me 

 his opinion on this and several other of the Habenarias, quite 

 agrees. The differences in the relative lengths and breadths of the 

 spur and lip-lobes may very well be due to a want of accuracy in 

 Eichard's drawing, especially as his two figures, of the whole flower 

 and the lip and column respectively, do not agree among them- 

 selves. I have thought it useful to give a description of the 

 Ruwenzori plant.

In the determination of this plant I have consulted Mr. E. 

 Schlechter, who is monographing the genus, and he suggests that 

 the presence of the saccules on either side of the labellum, which 

 moreover vary in size in different flowers, together with the slight 

 differences in the rostellum and stigma, are insufficient for the 

 diagnosis of a new species.
