138 cxxxin. ORCHiDE^ (rolfe). [Angr€ecu7n. 



I have not seen Senaar specimens, and follow Reichenbach in considering the 

 southern specimens identical. A. seinipedale, Rendle, I cannot distinguish, but 

 A. Grantii, Batemau, doubtfully referred here by Reichenbach, seems distinct. 



8. A. Grantiiy Batem. ex Baker in Trans. Linn. Soc. xxix. 158. 

 Boots stout, densely fascicled. Stems very short, about 3-leaved. 

 Leaves obovate-oblong, unequally and obtusely bilobed, attenuate 

 below, 4-5 in. long, 1-1 J in. broad. Racemes 6 in. long, 4-G-flowered. 

 Bracts very broad and short. Perianth (withered). Spur of the lip very 

 slender and flexuous, G-7J in. long. Capsule obovate-oblong, IJ-lf i^- 

 long. — AngrcBcum sp. Speke, Journ., App. 648. 



Xrile Xiand. British East Africa : Madi, on a lichen-covered bough of Kigelia • 

 pinnata, O-rant, 716 ! 



A fruiting specimen only known ; Reichenbach thinks it may be his ^. kotschyanum, 

 but the spur is more slender, very flexuous, not thickened at the apex, and the racemes 

 are only half as lon^. 



9. A. pachsrurum, Rolfe. Stems short. Leaves subspathulate- 

 oblong, unequally and very shortly and obtusely bilobed, o-;H in. long, 

 8-10 lin. broad. Bacemes pendulous, 6-1) in. long, many-flowered. 

 Bracts broadly ovate, obtuse, or apiculate, IJ— 2 lin. long. Pedicels h in. 

 long. Sepals elliptic-oblong, apiculate, 4 lin. long. Petals elliptic, 

 apiculate, 4 lin. long. Lip elliptic, apiculate, a little narrowed below, 

 4 lin. long; spur curved, 2-J-3 in. long, stouter than in the allied species. 

 Column stout, 2 lin. long. 



IWozamb. X>lst. British Central Africa : cultivated specimens ! 



Described from cultivated specimens introduced by Mr. J. Buchanan, which 

 flowered in the collection of Mr. J. O'Brien in 1891. It is easily distinguished from 

 its allies by the thickened spur. A specimen collected near Tette, River Shire, Kirk ! 

 may be a weak form of this species. 



10. A. aviculariuxu, Reichh.f. inGard. Chron. 1887, i. 40. Leaves 

 elliptic-oblong, cuneate below, contracted and obtusely bilobed at the 

 apex, 4 in. long, 2J in. broad. Peduncle 9-10 in. long, somewhat one- 

 sided, rather lax, 15-flowered. Bracts scarious, triangular, one quarter 

 as long as the pedicels. Pedicels one-fifth as long as the spur. Sepals 

 and petals lanceolate, aristate. Lip oblong, dilated from a narrower 

 base, cuspitate ; spur filiform, 4-5 in. long. Column with a very obtuse 

 anther, obscurely apiculate in the middle ; rostellum linear, beak- 

 like. 



Tropical Africa. Without locality, cultivated specimen ! 



Flowered in the collection of Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., in 1887; said to be 

 allied to the following species, and probably of Tropical African origin. 1 have only 

 seen a single raceme. 



11. Ae bilobum, Lindl in Bot. Reg. 1840, Misc. 69 ; 1841, t. 35. 

 Stems short, 5-8-leaved. Leaves obovate-oblong, 3-5 in. long, 1-lf in. 

 broad ; apex shortly and unequally bilobed ; base cuneate-attenuate 

 below. Bacemes pendulous, 6-12 in. long, many-flowered. Bracts 

 broadly ovate-oblong, obtuse, 1|— 2 lin. long. Pedicels j-1 in. long. 

 Sepals and petals oblong-lanceoiate, shortly acuminate and reflexed.
