“This genus belongs to Malaz- 
idee, and is related to Celogyne and Di- 
lochia, of the latter of which, in particu- 
lar, it has much the habit, on a small scale. 
From the = ye wingless column, and 
. from the latter the number of its pollen- 
. masses, sufficiently distinguish it, inde- 
“pendently of other points of difference.”
