Oss. Anthera nondum visa. Ovar. maturius clavatum, 3- 
costatum. Per. marcescens rubro-aurantiaceum. 
This species is allied to D. amplum Lindl. and with it forms 
a section approaching very closely indeed to Bolbophyllum, 
The middle of the labellum is fragile at the base, and breaks 
off readily at that situation. The sepals are 1 4 inch long. 
The petals about a line shorter. The anterio-posterior diameter 
is nearly 3 inches, the lateral measuring from the reflexion of 
the sepals 1 4, across the labellum and base of lateral sepals 
3. The labellum towards its base is purplish, the crests аге 
white, the lateral ones being sulcate longitudinally at the base, 
the disk of the middle lobe has membranaceous margins, 
the central acutely triangular part being fleshy. The sterile 
carpillary leaves are very broad, and scarcely intrant, the fer- 
tile are lageniform and meet in the centre; the ovules are few. 
These have a single vascular fascicle, the sterile have however 
several, and the texture of the inner and outer halves is very 
distinct; length of labellum $ inch. Churra: Oct. 20th, 1835.
