Resembles E. odoratissimum ; with dull yellow flowers, 
neatly striped with crimson. It is nearly related to 
E. chloroleucum, from which its leaves readily distinguish it.

A fine species closely allied to E. flavum. 
Gnayana. 
It has a 
panicle regularly branched up to the apex, nearly a foot 
and a half long, with each side branch having from 2-4 
flowers. According to Mr. Schomburgk, the sepals and 
petals are green dotted with purple, the labellnm white 
with a purple stain at its base, the flowers aromatic, the 
stem six feet high.

Leaves of this rather more than a foot lon#. Mowers

inflorescence is only panicled at the base, and is probably 
very often simple.
