 ovate base, 1£ ft. long, 3 in. broad at the middle, thin, flexible, 

 subglabrous, copiously decorated with vertical and horizontal

 Description made from a specimen that flowered at Kew in June, 

 1886. Glaziou's Nos. 14342 and 15466 are either this or very 

 closely allied, but I have only seen them in the dried state.

 I have not seen Platzniann's Parana plant, which has been referred 

 to the species, or Wawra and Maly's doubtful plant from Tereso- 

 l>olis, described Itin. Prin. Cob. 167.
