3. Eulophia lamellata, Lindley, Gen. and Sp. Orch. (1833), p. 
184. — Glabrous, 1-14 ft. high; leaves sword-shaped, acuminate, 
minutely serrulate, rigid, nerved, erect or somewhat spreading, shorter 
than the simple or branched, distantly leafy scape; flowers distant, 
spreading, at length deflexed, pedicels slender, 4-1 in. long; bracts 
acuminate ; sepals and petals nearly uniform, oblong, the sepals sub- 
acute, petals blunter, slightly spreading, about 7 lines long; lip 
cuneate in outline, 8-lobed, side lobes obtuse, middle lobe dilated and 
upturned, crisped, the apex nearly truncate, its length traversed on 
the upper surface by about seven parallel crested lines, spur bilobed, 
blunt, the whole about 9 lines long ; operculum with 2 blunt spread- 
ing horns nearly its own length ; pollinia sessile on an oblong entire 
hyaline gland; capsule cylindrical, deeply ribbed, about 1 in. long, 
crowned by the persistent withered perianth. 
Has. Sandy flats near Rondebosch, and the lower mountain-tops of the Cape 
Peninsula up to 1400 ft.; fl. Oct.—Nov.; Herb. Norm. Austr.-Afr., 152; Zeyher, 1590; 
Bolus, 4558.— Extends eastward to Riversdale district (Burchell, 7072). 
Flowers brown, except the upper surface of the lip, which is 
creamy white, with rosy tints at base and on the side lobes. Nearest 
to E. tristis, to which the flowers are very similar but larger, and the 
sepals and petals broader in proportion to their length (Lindley says 
the lip is ‘‘ very different,” but I have not found it so), the panicle less 
spreading; the capsule different. It occurs somewhat frequently, and 
flowers regularly every year. 
PuatE 22.—Fig. 4, flower viewed laterally ; 5, column front view; 6, operculum, 
from behind; 7, pollinarium,—all variously magnified.

(1836), p. 202.—Glabrous, 1-2 ft. high, scape leafy, simple below, 
racemose-paniculate above ; leaves sword-shaped, equitant, entire, or

upper reduced to sheathing bracts; panicle 6-8 in. long, with 2 to 4 
ascending branches; flowers rather distant and spreading; bracts 
acute, persistent, much shorter than the flowers; sepals and petals 
nearly similar and connivent, narrow-ovate, acute or sub-obtuse, 
about 3 lines long ; lip always posticous and erect, oblong, undivided, 
concave, crisped, and crenulate, narrowed at the base and produced 
into a short subspherical spur, the whole about 5 lines long, the limb 
emarginate, and its inner surface distantly and irregularly crested ; 
column short and thick, arched and somewhat square in section ; 
operculum subglobose, without horns ; stigma orbicular, very slightly
