Described from many dried and fresh specimens, the drawing 

 from a rather small one sent by Dr. Schonland from Grahamstown. 

 The analyses of the figs. 1-9 were made from living plants (but in 

 poor condition) received from P. MacOwan, who received them 

 from H. Hutton, Kowie. The flowers were smaller than usual. 

 This is one of the commonest of the Eulophiae in the Eastern 

 Region, but appears to be entirely absent in the West.
