Herbarium collected in Burma by S. Toppin, n. 4412, is very 
similar and may represent the same species, though there are a 
few differences in the floral structure. More complete material 
is desired.

Perv. Forget. 
A very large and distinct species, which was introduced by 
Messrs. Sander & Sons, St. Albans, and flowered at the Royal 
Botanic Garden, Glasnevin, in May 1912. It is apparently 
allied to the Ecuadorean WM. grandis, Reichb. f., which is known 
only from description, and of which no dimensions whatever are 
given, but as that is described as having the front-lobe of the lip 
oblong and the petals spotted the two are believed to be distinct. 
The sepals and petals of M. insignis are ivory white, the former 
slightly and the latter strongly striped with red-purple, while 
the lip is dull yellow, with some brown markings on the front lobe, 
a red brown suffusion and darker lines on the side lobes, and a 
deep yellow crest.

imbricatis caule adpressis. Flores axillares, solitarii, peduncu- 
lati, vinosi. Pedunculi circiter 2 cm. longi, vaginis lanceolatis 
paucis vestiti. Sepala subconniventia, oblonga, subobtusa, vel
