spreading, clawed at base, the claw concave gibbous adnate to 

 the column, limb ovate acute entire, or sometimes with a small 

 tooth on each side just beyond the middle, shorter than the 

 sepals, about 4-5 mill, long; anther broadly ovate, pollinia 

 spheroidal, with separated naked glands ; stigma rather large, 

 horse-shoe-shaped, depressed, margined except at the top by the 

 claw of the lip ; ovary cylindrical. 



Described from numerous living specimens brought by Mr. 

 Flanagan as above, during an arduous expedition made by him 

 to the summit of the little-explored Mont-aux-Sources, in Jan. 

 1894. Colour of the sepals pure white, petals pink, lip white 

 with pink edges and a central green nerve ; the cavity of the 

 claw green, the outer and under surface of the gibbous base 

 marked by two round green spots. This interesting species is 

 quite distinct in appearance from any other South African 

 Orchid. By the structure of its flower it is allied to Schizochilus 

 (see Plate 18 in Part 1 of this work), which, indeed, is also united 

 by Mr. Schlechter with Platanthera, but the appearance is not at 

 all similar.
