 Bedford. " The species is a very distinct one, having a lip with the mouth

Catasetum deltoideum. Dr. Lindley has had a scape of this plant sent to

This species has been already mentioned (p. 203.). The flowers are smaller 

 than those of any other species of the genus, and they are without fragrance. 

 " In the specific character originally given, the bracts were described as 

 pubescent. This appearance arises from the presence of minute patches of 

 extremely delicate hairs, which soon wither up, and leave nothing but a stain, 

 to indicate their having been present." (^Bot. Reg., July.)

 bright yellow flowers streaked with red. It approaches very near to the 

 genus Polystachya." {B. M. R., No. 103., July.)
