360 OXXII. ORCHIDACE®. 
undivided or 3-lobed. Column erect, semiterete. Anthers 2- 
celled. Pollinia 2, mostly 2-lobed at back, subsessile on a 
triangular gland.—Lind/. Orch. p. 161. 
Epiphytes (some terrestrial ?) of various habit. The Cape species re- 
ferred to this genus by authors belong to Eulophia ; but Mr. Sanderson has 
recently discovered near Natal a fine plant (C. Sandersoni, mss.), which 
seems to be a genuine species. It has long, cylindrical pseudobulbs, 
coriaceous, many-ribbed leaves, and a tall scape, ending in a panicle of pale 
yellow flowers. Found between D’Urban and Athercliffe, 1860. 
4. EULOPHIA, R. Br. 
Perianth expanded, the sepals and petals ascending, sub- 
equal, either quite free or connate with a more or less pro- 
duced column. Labellum spurred or saccate at base, sessile, 
concave, very generally furnished with crested or bearded longi- 
tudinal ridges, sometimes smooth; often 3-lobed, sometimes 
undivided. Column semiterete, margined. Anther 1—2-celled. 
Pollinia 2, 2-lobed at back or hollow, with a short, lmear 
eaudicle and a transverse gland.— Lindl. Orch. p. 180. 
Terrestrial, pseudobulbous plants. Leaves long, rigid, plaited or many- 
ribbed. Scape radical, simple or branched, many-flowered. Flowers dull- 
coloured, shaded with green, dull purple and white——Many Cape species, 
dispersed. 
5. CYRTOPERA, Lindl. 
Perianth expanded, sepals and petals ascending, subequal, 
connate with the much-produced base of the column, Label- 
lum not spurred, concave, subventricose, 3-lobed, marked with 
crested or tubercled ridges. Column semiterete, margined. 
Anther 1-2-celled. Pollinia 2, 2-lobed at back, with a short, 
subtriangular caudicle.-—Lindl. Orch. p. 189. 
Terrestrial plants, with plaited leaves and fleshy stems, sometimes long 
and fusiform, sometimes short. Scapes radical; flowers racemose.—2 or 3 
Cape species, Eastern. 
6. LISSOCHILUS, R. Br. 
Perianth expanded ; the sepals small, reflexed or spreading, 
herbaceous, free; the petals much larger, spreading, wing-like. 
Labellum saccate at base, concave, subentire or 3-lobed, mostly 
connate with the base of the column. Column erect, short, 
semiterete. Anther 2-celled, crested. Pollinia 2, 2-lobed at 
back, with a short linear caudicle and transverse gland.— Lindl. 
Orch. p. 191. 
Terrestrial, pseudobulbous plants, resembling Eulophia, from which 
genus this chietly differs by its large petals. Flowers panicled or racemose, 
showy, yellow and brown.—Several Cape species.
