A. densa ; racemo oblongo denso nigro- 
furfuraceo, bracteis ovario duplo bre- 
vioribus, labelli hypochilio concavo intus 
versus apicem dente obtuso tomentoso 
aucto,metachilii lobis Iateralibus truncatis

columna dorso tomentosa. 
This is one of M. Warczewitz's col- 
lection, imported in 1849 by Mr. Skinner. 
It was found at Turialba, in Costa Rica, 
and is very near the Barker Acinete, 
notwithstanding the 
appearance of dis- 
similarity caused by 
its dense, not long 
and narrow, raceme. 
The flowers are 
pale yellow, slightly 
spotted externally 
with crimson. The 
lip is yellow at the 
point, spotted with 
broad blotches on 
the lateral lobes, 
deep crimson in the 
space between the 
lobes occupied by 
the appendage . As 
regards structure, 
this Close-flowered 
Acinete differs from 
*e Barker A, in 
having 
c *ve hypochil, the 
tooth of which is not 
notched at the point; 
an entire epichil remarkably wartedatthe base, 
a the kteml lobes of the metachil not at all 
funded, with the posterior angles of the inter- 
calate appendage sinuous, and not extended 
mt0 a lon g subulate process.
