Nearly related to N. propinquus, but larger in all its parts. 

 The figure published was taken from a plant which flowered in 

 Mr, Haworth's collection, in April, 1831. Mr. D. Don has 

 looked in vain for it in other collections around London. {Brit. 

 Flower-Garden, May.)

So near to O. altissimum, that it may be, not a species distinct 

 from that, but a variety of it. These are some of those of its 

 features in which it differs from O. altissimum : scape not 

 branched, flower less spotted, sepals and petals less acuminate, 

 crest of the labellum tuberculate rather than digitate. Drawn 

 from a plant in the collection of Messrs. Loddiges : this plant is 

 since dead ; and O, citrinum " is, for the present, lost to the 

 country." {Bot. Reg., May.)

 appears to be intermediate between the true Z. M.ackkii [that of

Distinguishable, at once, from other known bletias by " the 

 greenish colour of its flowers, and the remarkably narrow re- 

 flexed sepals." The figure was " drawn in. the hot-house of the 

 Messrs. Loddiges, in Nov. 1834 :" two flowers are represented 

 upon the one scape. In wild specimens, collected by Baron de 

 Karwinsky, the scapes bear each from two to four flowers ; and 

 the flowers have a rich purple cast upon every part. {Bot. Reg., 

 May.)
