I have only seen a single specimen of 
this remarkable plant, which appears to 
have been only once found by Mr. Drége. 
It will stand next C. plantaginea. 
It is very singular that Cyrtopera pedi- 
cellata, the Satyrium Capense of Linneus, 
which Thunberg says grows near Zeeko- 
rivier and elsewhere, has not been found 
in any of the rich collections of Messrs. 
Ecklon, Drége, and Burchell, nor in the 
old Herbarium of Vahl and Horneman, 
nor in any of the numerous small collec- 
tions I have examined. The specimen in 
the Linnean Herbarium, without leaves, 
shows that I was right in considering it a 
Cyrtopera. It is very distinct from any 
thing else, and is, perhaps, the smallest of 
the genus. It is most like a small state of 
Eulophia tristis.

I can find nothing in Mr. D col- 
lections that will agree with the Satyr 
giganteum of Linnæus, which is possibly 
an Eulophia, rather than a Cyrtopera, 
I supposed in the Gen. et Sp. Orch. 190.
