The present orchid was regardecl as a varietj of the preceding species. 

 After careful examination, I have fouud that the sej)als and j)etals of this 

 new plaut are cousiderably larger than those of tho preceding species, and 

 the lips of the former are minutely botiyoideo-tiiberculate all over the upper 

 sm-face, while those of the latter are hii-sute. All these collectively make it 

 sufficient to regard this uew plant as specificallj- differeut from the precediug 

 species.
