Quite distinct from the West African A. hilohum, Lindl., to which it is referred 

 as a variety by Reichenbach. A specimen from the Ushambala Hills, Kirlc ! probably 

 belongs to a luxuriant form of this species. The racemes are about 6 in. long, 3-6- 

 flowered, and apparently pendulous. A. apiculatum, var. dormanianum, Reichb. f. 

 in Gard. Chron. 1885, xxiv. 456, may also belong here. The native country is not 

 recorded. 



8. A. rohlfsianum, Kranzl. in Bot. Zeit. 1882, 341. Stems short, 

 3-4-leaved, with stout roots. Leaves cuneate-obovate, 4-8 in. long, 

 J-lJ in. broad; apex unequally bilobed, with rounded lobes. Scapes 

 erect, about the same length as the leaves, 4-8-flowered, with 2 or 3 

 subacute sheaths at the base. Bracts ovate, acute, 3-4 lin. long. 

 Pedicels lJ-2 in. long. Sepals and petals oblong-lanceolate, acuminate, 

 10-1 2 lin. long. Lip similar to the petals ; spur slender, somewhat curved, 

 4J-0 in. long. Column stout, 3 lin. long ; rostellum subulate, curved, 

 with 2 tubercles at its base. — Kranzl. in Reichb. f. Xen. Orch. iii. 76, t.
