oboval, obtuse, stout, connivent, 1 J-2 lin. long, nearly as broad. Lip 

 transversely oval, or orbicular if flattened out; apex rounded, concave; 

 •spur nearly straight, the upper half slightly inflated, 3 lin. long. 

 Column stout ; anther retuse ; gland linear. — Anyrcecum cejjhalotes, 

 Kriinzl. in Mitth. Deutsch. Schutzgeb. ii. (1889), 15G. 



ITpper Guinea. Cameroons, JBraun. 



Only known to me from the original description. Said to be allied to L. cai)'daia, 

 Reichb. f., but only half as large. A fine fruiting specimen from the Cameroon 

 Mountains, 5000 ft., Mann, 2123 ! may possibly belong here. 



46. If. Batesii, Rolfe. Stem stout, erect, J-1 in. long. Leaves 

 ensiform, compressed, curved, obtuse, 1-2 J in. long, 3-4 J lin. broad. 

 Scapes slender, suberect, dense, many-flowered, secund, 2i-G in. long. 

 Bracts broadly ovate, apiculate, sheathing below, |-1 in. long. Pedicels 



1 lin. long, Flowers white. 8epals and petals oblong, obtuse, H lin. 

 long. Lip oblong, obtuse, slightly concave at the base, IJ lin. long; 

 spur somewhat inflated, lanceolate-oblong, subacute, 1^ lin. long. 

 Column stout, J lin. long.

47. L. Zenker!, Krdnzl. in Engl. Jahrh. xix. 252. Plant very 

 small, with a short, stout stem. Leaves ensiform, short, H-2 in. long, 



2 lin. broad ; apex unequal, subacute. Racemes erect, a little longer 

 than the leaves, with retuse, ochreate sheaths at the base. Bracts 

 broadly triangular, acute, half as long as the flowers. Flowers 1 lin. 

 diam. Dorsal sepal oblong, obtuse, with a thickened apiculus ; lateral 

 equal, carinate ; apex biapiculate, one point being in front of the other. 

 Petals a little broader than the sepals, more slender, very obtuse. Lip 

 ovate-oblong, obtuse, a little contracted above the base ; spur as long as 

 the limb, inflated, slightly compressed, obtuse, incurved. Column stout, 

 anther elongate, retuse ; pollinia with 2 slightly thickened and excavate 

 stipites. 



Upper Guinea. Cameroons : Yaunde, on high trees of the primaeval forest, 

 Zenker, 623. 



Said to be one of the smallest specnes of the genus, with the habit of Angrcecuni 

 Maudce, Bolus, which it closely resembles in habit. I have not seen it. A fruiting 

 specimen from Sugarloaf Mountain, Sierra Leone, Barter I apparently represents an 

 allied species. 



48. L. iridifolia, Rolfe. Stem short and stout, J in. long. Leaves 

 ensiform, compressed, curved, obtuse, |-1 in. long. Scapes suberect, 

 slender, lJ-2 in. long, 8-12-flowered, with a few oblong, apiculate 

 sheaths near the base. Bracts triangular-oblong, subacute or apiculate, 

 1 lin. long. Capsules elliptic-oblong, 2^ lin. long.— AngrcECum^ aff.
