A. Thibautianum.—This beautiful species in general 
appearance resembles A. quinquevulnerum, and the leaves 
have the same conspicuous stem-clasping habit; they are 
8in. to roin. long, unequally lobed at the apex, and deep 
green. The raceme is pendulous, longer than the leaves,

and crisped at the margins; lip three-lobed, the two side 
lobes standing erect like a pair of ears, the front one very 
irregular and twisted; spur long, nearly straight. The 
plant should be fastened to a long block of soft wood or 
a teak raft, and suspended in a shady, moist corner of the 
stove. It likes plenty of water always. Native of India.
