 leaves or less, f 'lowers red, about in. diam. ; spur about half the length of the Up, 

 which is acuminate. Capxvle unripe, i in. ellipsoid. A very obscure plant, belonging 

 apparently to the section with (IS '<->KI, but with leaves all alternate and a 



very tomentose capsule. Wight & Arnott, in the Prodnmuis (juote Wight Cat. n. ItT'.i, 

 under this sp.-eies, but give no particulars, taking the description almost entirely from 

 lioth. 1 find a good authentically named specimen in Hot tier's Herbarium, communi- 

 cated by Heyne himself in 1801, and marked ?// :.obis, in llottlers hand- 

 writing.

 large long-petioled elliptic or ovate serrulate, pedicels solitary in the upper 

 axils capillary, sepals very largo orbicular-ovate, standard broadly orbicular,

 small oblong concave with a basal gibbosity or very short spur. 



TKNASSKKIM ; on limestone n>ckx, near Moiilmein, Parish. 



The Kev. Mr. Parish descril.es this vry em. as a "biennial or perennial 



ileshy short-stemmed plant, 10-24 in. high, slightly branched, with large handsome 

 Jlowers, which are single in the axils of the upper leaves;" and ^ng-vsts the names for 

 it of km'* or In n'nmlix. \vhich, not beinu r significant in so glabrous a genus, 1 have 

 ventured to replace by that of its excellent diseuverer. It is described above partly from 

 imperfect specimens communicated by himself and partly from his drawing. >SV, /// as 

 thick as the finger, short, smooth. Leaves 5-7 in., membranous, straight or oblique, base 

 sometimes slightly cordate ; nerves many, arched ; petiole 2-3 in., slender, sometimes 

 2-Jglandular at the top. f lowers 2 in. long from tip of wing to that of standard, white 

 with red streaks on the wings and lip ; sepals .\ ;'; in., concave, acute; \ 

 ing forward, the lateral lobes not distinct from the terminal, turned upward and falcate, 

 the rest of the lobe triangular with straight inner edges and acute apex; lip very small,
