This, wLich Eeichenbach referred to tlie Chinese S. tereiif6liii.<^f 

 differs conspicuously from that plant in the longer leaves, much longer 

 peduncle, in the cylindric spur at tbe base of the fnnnel-shaped lip, 

 and in the longer slender column. The plate is a reproduction of a 

 drawing by Mr. Parish, in which the flowers are represented as very 

 much larger than in his dried specimen, where they are hardly a 

 quarter of an inch broad. — J. D. H,
