ZEUXINE. 285 
The flowers of this are of a dull red. This species in general appearance much 
resembles G. foliosa, Benth., but has shorter floral bracts. The details of the flowers 
of the two are also different. This, however, differs from all the species „of the genus 
described in the present work by the clavate uid on the anterior surface of the 
column below the stigma.

Terrestrial herbs with succulent glabrous stems, decumbent at the base. Leaves

diverging lobules, or entire, or with narrow decurved lobules; the sac at the base with 
calli or laminze inside. Column very short, its anterior surface with lamellar or conical 
processes. Stigmas two, lateral, distant (united into a narrow band in Z. pulchra) Anther 
membranous, sometimes ridged, its cells contiguous; pollinia pyriform, attached by ап 
oblong gland to the erect rostellum. Species about 15, natives of tropical Asia and 
Africa.
