ORCHIDACE.E 



7 mm. latum, bilamellatum, lamellae carnosaa, e basi labelli paene 

 usque ad apicem productee. Gynostemium 7 mm. altum. Pol- 

 linia ? 



Eria perspicabilis is a near relative of E. brachystachya Reichb. 

 f., from which it is at a glance distinguishable by the larger flowers 

 and entire, conspicuously bicarinate labellum. The flowers are 

 rather delicate in texture and among the largest of the genus. 



The pollinia in the flowers examined were so mutilated by 



drying that it was not possible to ascertain the number present 



in a normal anther.
