Lateral stamine quite suppressed. 
Results of (very) ulterior development. 
Calcar of labellum.

There is no difference between the primary development of 
leaves, flower, and buds 
The flower buds are developed later than the axillary 
buds, on extremely short branches; and the first developed 
part is the leaf at the back of the axil which is opposed to 
the flower bud, and subsequently nearly encloses it. ` 
Then the axis. 
Then below at first an entire gibbosity, denoting the situa- 
tion of the flower bud. 
As this developes, it is enlarged ; it then appears truncated 
at the apex, with very obsolete appearances of 3 puncta ; 
then in the next stage the margin immediately opposed to 
the leaf, is produced obliquely, the two other puncta. scarcely 
apparent, although the apex of the bud is evidently concave. 
. It remains in this state for some time, appearing oblique at 
the apex with a slit-like concavity or fissure. 
The other bud at the same time goes on increasing, present- 
ing alternate teeth or projections from the disc, which are 
leaves ; it does not appear to arrive at any great development. 
The flower bud goes on obliquely elongating, presenting 
the same slit-like fissure, and the tube gradually becomes 
developed. 
The next part developed appears to be the cavity of the 
ovarium and the stigmata, which are 6 truncate bodies taper- 
ing below into parietal placente. The perianth when this 
happens is curved, and proboscis.like, the fissure presenting 
two curves, but there i is no production of the smaller pro- 
boscis. 
A bud was in one instance formed between it and its axil- 
lary leaf (!)
