 {Ex exempl. unico vivo.)

 of the Chwenka R. on the main road between Maclear and Tsolo,

Plate 62. Fig-. 1, flower, front view ; 2, ditto, side view ; 3, 

 column with petal and lip, side view ; 4, column, viewed from 

 above ; 5, one of the side sepals, back view ; 6, one of the petals;

Differs from the typical form in the more slender spike with 

 fewer flowers. 



Drawn from a living specimen found by Mr. Flanagan. This 

 species has already been figured in this work {vol. i., /. 84), but as 

 it is very variable in appearance it seems worth while to figure this 

 form.
