long as the ovary ; side sepals elliptical-rotund obtuse, mucro- 

 nate below the apex, about 8 mill, long ; odd sepal galeate ovate 

 emarginate, produced at base into a cylindrical obtuse ascending 

 nearly straight spur, 3-4 cm. long ; petals very small, hidden 

 under the galea, falcate-oblong, eared at base ; lip oblong or lan- 

 ceolate subacute spreading-deflexed, 1 cm. long; rostellum short;

 drawing made from a plant sent by Mr. J. Glass from near 

 Grahamstown. Colour of the galea chiefly a rich orange 

 vermilion, varying in shade, the margins as also the sepals,

 the South-eastern Eegion oi D. fcrruginea in the South-western.
