Moreover the columnar processes are different in shape from those of Z. nervosa. The 
specific name glandulosa is given to this on account of the large quantity of glandular 
hair on the inflorescence. 
Prats 384.—Zenzine glandulosa, King and Pantling. A plant, of natural size. Fig. 1 а flower, 
2 bract, ovary, column with anther in sifu, and lip, 3 petals, 4 lip, 5 section of the lip to show the 
three calli on one side of the sac and the conical process on its edge, 6 apex of ovary, column showing 
the rostellum (ғ), columnar calli (c), anther (а) and stigma (s); ай enlarged.

` Whole plant 6 to 9 in. long, the stem glabrous and bearing near the ground one or 
two wide truncate scarious sheaths, and higher up two or three obliquely ovate-lanceolate 
acute leaves 1 to 2:5 in. long and :65 to 1 in. broad; their petioles about “75 in., 
expanding at the base into broad hyaline sheaths. Peduncle and rachis of raceme with 
sparse flexuose hairs, the former with one or two lanceolate acuminate bracts. Raceme 
laxly 3- to 8-flowered, about 1 to 1:5 in. long; floral brací ovate, acute, scarious, 
somewhat longer than the ovary, puberulous. Sepals ovate, blunt, the dorsal very 
concave, the lateral pair wide-spreading. Petals sub-rotund, dimidiate, abruptly apiculate 
at one side. Jip longer than the sepals, the base saccately cymbiform, the sac with 
three small parallel calli on each side of the interior near the base; apical lobe divided 
into two sub-quadrate spreading lobules. Co/wmn very short; the rostellum 2-lobed, very 
broad at the apex, and with a pair of rather small converging processes underneath ; 
pollinia obovoid, bifid, attached to a broad oblong caudicle; the gland large, transparent, 
the adhesive portion being lanceolate and opaque. Stigmas two, minute, each situated 
within an angle of the lobed rostellum. Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. VI, 108; Іс. Plantar.

Height of the whole plant 6 to 10 in.; the stem about one-third of the whole, 
with two or three sheaths at the base and three or four leaves higher up. Leaves ovate 
or ovate-lanceolate with inflated hyaline sheaths, clustered at the top of the stem near the 
peduncle, withered at flowering time, 1:25 in. long and :5 in. broad. Peduncle rather
