I am indebted to Mons. Gagnepain for the identification of this 

 plant after comparison with the types in Herb. Mus. Paris. At 

 first 1 had regarded it as a new species allied to G. Godefroyi but 

 from the copious notes supplied by Mons. Gagnepain the appen- 

 dages of the lip are very variable. There are 5 glands or appendages 

 to the labellum all subject to variation in length and sometimes 

 some of them are almost completely wanting as must have been the 

 case with the flower serving for the figure in Engler Pflanzenr., 

 I.e., fig. 18e where the two lower ones are not represented at all.
