G. Jiispida was originally described by Lindley from the solitary 

 specimen here figured, collected in August 1850. I have seen no 

 other, but have a drawing of evidently the same species in the Her- 

 barium of the Calcutta Botanical Gardens, made in 1875, probably from 

 a cultivated specimen brought from Sikkira. — J. D. H.
