Section 2. DESCISCENTES. 
In the gen. et sp. Orch. this section is 
characterized as having equitant leaves. I 
now find that although in some species the 
leaves are truly so, yet that in many others 
they are only folded together and carinate.

Zuurebergen ; inter Bethelsdorp et Van- 
staadesrivier. 
. E. clavicornis ; foliis lineari-ensifor- 
mibus recurvis scapo paulo brevioribus, 
racemo 5—6-floro, sepalis oblongo-lanceo- 
latis acutis, petalis oblongis mucronulatis 
dupló latioribus, labello obovato obtuso 
trilobo: lobis lateralibus truncatis planis 
intermedio crispo ramentaceo-cristato, cal- 
care clavato ovario dupló breviore. 
Katberg. 
At one time I took this to be the Saty- 
rium hians of Linneus ; but the specimen 
of that species in the Linnean Herbarium 
is either Disa lacera of Thunb. or some 
very nearly allied plant; so that the Zulo- 
phia hians of Sprengel has to be expunged 
from the system. I am, however, by no 
means certain that the Limodorum hians 
of Thunberg is not a synonym of this spe- 
cies. 
5. E. emarginata ; foliis lineari-ensi- 
formibus scapo tripló brevioribus, racemo 
subsecundo multifloro, sepalis lanceolatis 
acuminatis, petalis pauló brevioribus ob- 
tusis, labelli trilobi lobis lateralibus ovatis 
intermedio obovato emarginato medio den- 
Sé ramentaceo-barbato, calcare filiformi 
flexuoso ovario pauló breviore.

and longer spur. 
6. E. ovalis ; foliis lineari-ensiformibus 
Scapo parum brevioribus, racemo multiflo- 
ro, sepalis lanceolatis acutis, petalis paulo 
brevioribus obtusis, labello ovali plano le- 
viter trilobo medio parcà barbato, calcare 
conico obtuso. 
Ado, collibus graminosis. 
Also allied to Æ. clavicornis, but with 
a very different lip, which is flatter, thin- 
ner, and less bearded than in any of the. 
Cape species, except E. cochleare and E. 
parvilabris. A span high.

Very like E. micrantha, but larger, 
with a totally different lip. These two 
species resemble Æ. lurida in inflorescence 
and general appearance. E
