mouth oblanceolate, margins reflexed erosulate, apex reflexed 

 truncate, spurs pendulous filiform longer than the ovary ; stipe of 

 the colunm rather short ; rostellum rhomboidal obscurely Slobed, 

 lateral lobes minute, tooth-like, intermediate much larger, shortly 

 unguiculate, broadly rounded ; stigmatiferous lobe oblong trun- 

 cate ; ovary 0-6-0*7 cm. long. 



Described from several dried and living specimens. 



The species is not very common but is seen about Cape Town 

 every year, mostly under the shade of shrubs. The flowers have 

 a strong and agreeable odour, and if the structure of the column 

 be attended to the species can hardly be mistaken for any other.
