F. atlantica Cosson & Dur. To each of these it presents a strong 
contrast in its much larger sepals, and oom a first two may be 
further distinguished by its pale flowers, those of F. major ua

er one wanting the notched beak, present a more rounded- 
obtuse outli Ine, crowned with a distinct apiculus. Of /’. atlantica 
appear to differ sufficiently not only in its much smaller sepals, 
which do not exceed 3 mm. in length, ae in the coloration of the 
corolla, which simulates that of I. agra
