110 ORCHIDS OF THE CAPE PENINSULA. 
herbaria Cymbidium pedicellatum, &¢., as above. Specimens gathered 
by me near Grahamstown, though larger and differently coloured, 
scarcely appeared to differ in the structure of the flowers from the 
Peninsular form, which seems to be always more slender, and to have 
always uniformly cream-coloured flowers. Thunberg’s type specimen 
of C. pedicellatum is, according to Mr. N. E. Brown, a tall lanky plant, 
exactly matching my No. 4207, but in everything else agreeing with 
C’. aculeatum, which, as it occurs on the top of Table Mountain, is 
usually only 5 or 6 inches high. 
7. Eulophia ustulata.—Glabrous, 2-6 inches high; tubers several, 
cylindrical, thicker at the extremity, sometimes ovate; stem short, 
erect, leafy; leaves several, linear-lanceolate, rigid, acuminate, 
sheathing at base, many-nerved, 3-2 inches long; raceme laxly 3-6 
flowered ; flowers with connivent, fleshy segments; sepals lanceolate, 
acute, the lateral subfalcate, 34 lines long; side petals oblong, a little 
shorter; lip elliptical, bluntly 3-lobed, the terminal lobe larger, 
rounded, densely papillose above, margined and reflexed, the side lobes 
obtuse incurved, adnate to the chin of the column, without spur or 
gibbosity at base, about 4-5 lines long; column semiterete, produced 
at base into a scoop-like chin, much shorter than the lip; pollinia 
elliptical, approximate, affixed to the middle of a nearly square 
diaphanous gland. Cymbidiwn ustulatum, Bolus, in Journ. Linn. Soe. 
(Bot.), vol. xx. (1884), p. 469. 
_Has.—In sandy soil in the valley opposite the ‘‘ Farmer Peck’s”’ Hotel, on the 
Muizenberg Mountain, at about 1200 ft., fl. December, Bolus, 4848; Herb. Norm. 
Austr.-Afr., 153. 
In the structure of the flower this comes nearest to FE. aculeata, 
Sprengel, but the petals are fleshy and of a deep chocolate-colour, 
almost approaching to black, and the habit is very different. I have 
only found it on one spot, less than a hundred yards in diameter, where 
some sixty or eighty plants were growing, in the summer of 1882-83. 
It may probably also be found hereafter on the mountains between 
Fish Hoek and Simon's Town, which have not yet been well explored. 
It may be noted that a few plants of Bartholina Ethela, also a somewhat 
rare species, were found growing with it.
