oblong densely many-flowered, tlie lower bracts exceeding the 

 1"3 cm. long flowers ; side sepals ascending falcate-ovate sub- 

 obtuse ; odd sepal erect elliptical ; petals erect obliquely ovate 

 acute, their upper part arched over the column ; lip anticous 

 horizontally projecting, 1-1*2 cm. long, with a large boat-shaped 

 gibbous claw, the blade somewhat ovate longitudinally traversed 

 by a rather large linear coloured callus ; anther nearly erect, 

 furnished at base with a tubercle on either side, glands of the 

 pollinia large approximate ; rostellum folded between the cells of 

 the anther ; stigmata depressed margined. 



Described and drawn from a living specimen sent to me by 

 Mr. Flanagan from the Kei E. mouth ; and I have since seen 

 numerous living specimens growing further eastward. Colour of 

 the flowers brilliant purple, with an orange callus and spots upon 

 the lip. A handsome and widely-distributed species, with delight- 

 fully fragrant (violet-scented) flowers. The limited size of the 

 plate has obliged me to represent the lower half of the plant 

 behind the upper half, in a manner which is, I fear, somewhat 

 confusing.
