dentate at the apex ; stigrnatiferous lobe suborbicular undulate 

 on the marg-in, almost reaching to the apex of the mouth of the 

 g-alea and filling it. 



Described from several dried and living- specimens. The 

 drawing was made from one of the plants under my No. 4858. 



This species is amongst the rarest of S. A. Orchids, and has 

 hitherto only been found in one spot, or within a few hundred yards 

 of one spot. The flowers are, fortunately for its survival, a dull 

 yellow, turning brown in age, or its extinction by the Vandals of 

 Cape Town might be feared witliin a very short time. In habit it 

 resembles a little S. hipnlimuii (j-ee vol. i., tab. 73 of this work), 

 but may be distinguished by its shorter galea, its much shorter 

 stigmatiferous lobe of the column, and its usually longer spurs. 

 Lindley, knowing the two species only from dried specimens and 

 descriptions, confused this with S. Hallackii mihi {Orchids of the 

 Cape Peninsjila, tab. 29), than which no Satyrium could be more 

 unlike
