The specimens of this curious species are in very poor pnt 
and probably some allowance will have to be made for both the 
ing and description. It is not, perhaps, a typical Pedilonium in habit, 
inflorescence or lip ; but, considering the variations that occur in the 
floral organs of that section, a and taking into a the spur on the 
claw of the lip, I think it is best placed there.—J. D. H.
