NEUWIEDIA VERATRIFOLIA, Bl. 
Orcuipes. Tribe CyprIpEDIEa. 
Has. Java, Blume ; Borneo, Sarawak, Beccari (No. 1147). 
Folia cum petiolo 1}-1} ped. longa, 13-2} poll. lata. Racemus 
6-8 poll. longus. | 
We only possess at Kew a drawing of Blume’s type specimen which 
was kindly lent us by the authorities of the Leyden Herbarium. | 
Mr. Rolfe, who has made a careful study of the Apostasies, feels con- 
fident in his identification of Sig. Beccari’s specimen (for the use of 
which for the purpose of this plate we are indebted to that distin- 
guished botanist) with Blume’s plant. The species of this genus are 
nearly allied to each other, and their general facies, excluding N. 
Grifithii, is the same.—D. Oxtver.
