tipper pair bilobed, all somewhat obtuse, with a short straight 

 conical spur at base; ovary glabrous straight, or "twisted" 

 (Sonder) . 



Described from the living specimens first above mentioned. 

 The petals are pure white. The glabrous leaves are somewhat 

 unusual in the genus. The flowers apparently vary in size; 

 those I saw in a living state were about 5 mill. long. Sonder, 

 whose descriptions I have always found very trustworthy, says 

 that the petals are three times as long as the sepals, which I did 

 not find in my specimens. Plis description was based on the 

 specimens of Mundt and Zeyher. About Cape Town the species 

 appears to be somewhat rare.
