CERATANDRA. 191 
vol. xx. (1884), p. 487.—From 4-12 in. high; stem flexuous, distantly 
leafy; leaves few, 1-2 in. long, the upper shorter; raceme laxly 
1-9-flowered, mostly 2-4 flowered, bracts much shorter than the 
ovary; odd sepal posticous, resupinate, lanceolate, the cohering petals 
cuneate-obovate, crenulate on the rounded upper margin, about 5 lines 
long; side sepals ovate, spreading-deflexed, 5 lines long; limb of 
the lip somewhat lunate, the side lobes curved upward, crenulate, 
tuberculate in the middle on the upper surface, 4-5 lines long, 
appendage oblong, thence produced into two long linear, acuminate, 
approximate, erect then decurved horns, each with a short flap-like 
fold at its base; arms of the rostellum rounded, ascending, but much 
shorter than the horns of the appendage. C. Harveyana, Sonder, in 
Linnea, vol. xix., p. 108 (not of Lindley). 
Has. Amongst Restiacee, and especially after bush fires on the upper mountain- 
slopes and on the tops, Muizenberg Mt., 1300 ft.; Table Mt., above Klassenbosch, 
2300—2400 ft.; fl. Dec.—Jan., Bolus, 4564; Herb. Norm. Austr.-Afr., 340. — 
Extends to Tulbagh (Zeyher, 1574). 
Sepals green, with reddish tips; petals and lip yellow, with brown 
stripes on the latter. Allied to C. Harveyana, Lindley, but readily 
distinguished by the different limb of the lip, and the long horns of 
the lip-appendage. The rostellary arms are scarcely different from 
those of a Pterygodium. It is not frequent, but should be sought for 
after bush-fires. I found it growing in some abundance, together with 
a few plants of C. Harveyana, on Dec. 21, 1879; but for four succeed- 
ing summers I searched for it in the same place in vain; the next 
summer (1884), Mr. Bodkin found it growing in profusion on the 
Muizenberg. 
PuatE 21.—Fig. 1, flower viewed obliquely, x 14 diameters; 2, column with lip, 
back view; 3, lip; 4, lip, side view ; 5, petal; 6, odd sepal; 7, column, front view ; 
8, section of ovary,—all the latter variously magnified. 
2. Ceratandra Harveyana, Lindley, Gen. d Sp. Orch. (1838), p. 
365.—Six to seven inches high ; habit, leaves, and inflorescence as in 
C. bicolor; odd sepal posticous, lanceolate, obtuse, ascending, the 
cohering petals obovate, clawed, irregularly lobulate and crenulate, 
about 5 lines long; side sepals broadly oblong, concave, horizontally 
spreading, 4 lines long; limb of the lip hastate, acute, tuberculate, 
about 2 lines long, the appendage at first oblong with incurved sides, 
then dilated into two incurved arms, thence produced into two large, 
rounded, approximate folds, which rise slightly above the wide- 
spreading rostellary arms, and extend behind and downward so as to 
cover the stigma; arms of the rostellum wider than in C. bicolor; 
ovary cylindrical, shortly pedicellate. 
Has. Same as C, bicolor, but only found hitherto on the Table Mt. station ; 
rare, Bolus, 4548,
