emarginate, spur ascending cylindrical obtuse shorter than the 

 galea ; petals included within the galea, incurved, from a wider 

 base erosulate on the upper margin linear-falcate toothed at the 

 apex, much shorter than the sepals ; lip rhomboid acute (or, 

 according to Bonder, small, linear, membranous) with a small 

 pellucid gland at the apex resembling a dew-drop. 



Described and drawn from Mr. Sim's specimen from Mt. Kemp. 

 Colour of the sepals deep crimson, a lighter band on the edge of 

 the galea, petals rosy. A very well marked and peculiar species, 

 with some curious characteristics, especially the gland at the 

 apex of the lip. Mr. N. E. Brown of the Kew Herbarium 

 satisfied himself, by dissection and comparison, of the identity 

 of Zeyher's and Hutton's plants ; and I have compared Sim's 

 with Hutton's, and have no doubt of their being the same. 

 Respecting the difference of Sender's description of the shape of 

 the lip, this may be due to a shrivelling in the drying, or to a 

 natural variation, or to both causes combined. Nor does Sonder 

 mention the singular gland on the lip, but in both Hutton's and 

 Sim's dried specimens this is still quite clearly visible, and I do 

 not know how it can have escaped Eeichenbach's observation. 

 The species seems to be somewhat rare ; Mr. Sim only found 

 one specimen, which he very generously contributed to my 

 herbarium.
