DISA. 168 
32. Disa bifida, Swartz in K. Vet. Acad. Handl., vol. xxi. (1800), 
212.—Seven to eleven inches high; scape usually bent at the base 
only, 2-4 flowered; peduncles erectly spreading, the older, together 
with the ovary, reaching an inch in length; side sepals oblong, 
obtusely acute, 6 lines long; odd sepal with a similarly shaped, or 
more obovate but shorter limb, spur horizontal or ascending, thin, 
obtuse and longer than the limb; petals erect, linear or oblong 
toothed or cleft at the apex, dilated at the base, and fimbriate on the 
rounded anterior margin /or sometimes glabrous with a tooth-like lobe 
in front ?); lip like that of D. inflewa. Satyriwn bifidum, Thunberg, 
Prodr. Pl. Cap. (1794), 5. Schizodium rigidum, Lindley, in Gen. & Sp. 
Orch. (1888), p. 860. 8. bifidum, Reichenbach, f., Flora (1883), 460. 
Has. Moist sandy places on the Cape Flats near Rondebosch, 60 ft.; fl. end 
of Aug. to Sept., Bolus, 3742—Extends to Caledon and Babylon’s Tower Mt. 
(Ecklon & Zeyher according to Sonder) Zeyher, 3929; Port Elizabeth, J. R. Holland, 
Colour of the flowers and markings very similar to those of 
D. inflewa, but the leaves are pale glaucous green, and the spurs are 
always longer and thicker. From D. obliqua it may be usually dis- 
tinguished by the broad, sweeping, dorsal curve formed by the union 
of the odd sepal and its spur, instead of an angle as exhibited by 
that species. 
33. Disa clavigera.—Three to fiveinches high; scape 2-6 flowered; 
peduncles elongating, the lowest, together with the ovary, 7-8 lines 
long; side sepals oblong-lanceolate, acute, about 24 lines long; odd 
sepal with a similar but shorter and concave limb, spur horizontal or 
ascending, filiform, subinflated, retuse at the point, about as long as 
the limb; petals oblong, obliquely twisted, truncate and toothed at the 
top, not much dilated at base; lip broadly ovate in the middle with a 
short deflexed point. Schizodiwm clavigerum, Lindley, in Gen. & Sp. 
Orch. (1838), p. 860. 
Has. ‘In rocky places on Table Mountain, Sept.” (Ecklon & Zeyher, 
according to Sonder).—Extends to Paarl and Greenekloof, Drége; Stellenbosch, 
Miss Farnham! 
_ Flowers a faint pink, with lilac spots on the lip and red tips to the 
petals and the lip. This species is readily distinguished by its small 
size in every part, besides other differences. I have never met with 
it on the Peninsula ; but it is so well marked that I have little doubt 
that Sonder’s identification and the locality are correct. My descrip- 
tion is based upon living plants which were sent by Miss Farnham 
from Stellenbosch, and numbered 5928 in my herbarium,
