ANNAM. Micholitz. 
Introduced by Messrs. Sander and Sons, and flowered in the 
Royal Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, in April. lWti. It belongs to 
the group with bilobed leaves and paniculate inflorescence, but 
owing to the disproportion between the spur and the rest of the 
flower, cannot well be compared with any other species. The 
sepals and petals are green, with a pair of dark brown stripes, the 
front lobe of the lip light yellow, and the side lobes white, with a 
purple stain on the side next the column, which extends down 
the underside of the lip, terminating in a pair of radiating veins.
