192 ORCHIDS OF THE CAPE PENINSULA. 
Colour of the flower as in C. bicolor, except that the appendage of 
the lip is a deeper yellow, and the much smaller limb has no brown 
markings. A very curious and well-marked species, allied to (. 
bicolor, but readily distinguished by the posteriorly-developed lip- 
appendage and the absence of horns. Harvey inclined to make a 
distinct genus of it under the name Calota; Lindley, however, rightly 
included it in the present genus. 
3. Ceratandra globosa, Lindley, Gen. d Sp. Orch. (1838), p. 864. 
—Ten to twelve inches high; the thickish tubers at the base of the 
stem crowned by a short tuft of withered leaves: leaves 1-3 in. long, 
the upper gradually smaller; spike crowded, subcapitate, hemi- 
spherical, 6-10-flowered ; odd sepal posticous, lanceolate, the cohering 
petals broadly and obliquely ovate, subcordate, shortly acute, slightly 
waved on the outer margin, about 3 lines long; side sepals ovate, 
acute, concave, ascending, a little shorter than the petals; lip anticous, 
depressed ovate, twice as wide as its length, shortly acute, clawed at 
base, the claw deflexed, the limb upturned, appendage none; arms 
of the rostellum incurved, tapering upward, with two large, flattened, 
approximate tubercles at their base on the posterior side. 
Has. In grassy places on Table Mt. on the eastern side, about 3000 ft., 
Dec. 21, 1879, Bolus, 4565; not frequent.—Extends to Du Toit’s Kloof and the 
Cederbergen. Drége, 1243. 
Sepals dull red, the petals and lip white. Quite distinct from any 
other species on the Peninsula with which I am acquainted, though 
allied according to description to the succeeding. The form of the 
lip and column as drawn by me from Table Mountain specimens agrees 
fairly well with a drawing in Lindley’s herbarium made from Drége’s 
specimens, No. 1243, except that in the latter the lip is less wide in 
proportion to its length than in mine. 
4, Ceratandra parviflora, Lindley, Gen. é Sp. Orch. (1838), p. 
364.—‘ Leaves rough on the margins, the uppermost smaller; spike 
subglobose; petals with their anterior margin produced into an obtuse 
angle; lip transversely rhomboidal, angles acute, claw cuneate, 
without appendage; the narrow arms of the stigma [rostellum] 
distant, horseshoe-shaped.” 
Has. ‘On Table Mountain, 24th Jan., 1811, Burchell, No. 560”; also 652.— 
Extends to “‘ summit of craggy peak on great mountain near Swellendam, 15th Jan., 
1815,” Burchell, 7336. 
The above description is drawn from Lindley; what he regarded 
as arms of the stigma in this genus Bentham has termed lobes of the 
rostellum, and there is no doubt that the structure is a modification 
of the same organ we regard as the rostellum in Satyrium, Disa, &c.
