Oss. It is H marinate Colebrooke, in Hook Ex. Flora t. 
136, indifferent. 
It has the structure of Habenaria commelinifolia, 
The generic descriptions appear unintelligible, particularly 
as regards the rostellum. 
From Lindley’s characters it would appear to approximate 
to Afe-or Cynorchis, from the last it only differs in its herba- 
ceous flower judging from the figure. 
Nothing can be more distinct than the three stigmata, the 
posticous one is the most developed, and describes more than 
à semicircle, it is bipartite, while the lateral ones are simple. 
Hence the 2 stamina corresponding to the two lateral 
sepals, and that corresponding to the labellum are wanting. 
Lindley’s character gives Cynorchis with sepals connivent, 
‘compare this with the Fig. of Cynorchis fastigiata Bot. Reg. 
new series t. 1998: in which the lateral sepals are at least $ 
patent. 
My idea of a connivent Orchideous perianth is such as 
occurs in Neottia.
