This extraordinary plant was sent to us 

 from Trinidad, in 1824, by our distin- 

 guished and much-lamented friend, the 

 late Sir R. Woodford. It flowered in 

 September last. We are indebted to Mr. 

 Lindley for its generic name, which he 

 suggested in allusion to the two horns of 

 the lip. The bulbs, which are enclosed in 

 shaggy covers, are fluted, and each bears a 

 single leaf: from the lower part of the bulb 

 the spathe is protruded; it is furnished 



well with us potted in moss, sawdust, and 

 sand, with a good supply of water. It 

 appears to increase itself by offsets.
