For this curious plant, Mr. Hooker is indebted to the Countess of Essex, whose collection at 
Cashiobury, will soon be, like every thing else there, truly princely and magnificent. The spect 
was much decayed whenit reached me, but by comparing it with a dried one both of this and an- 
other species, liberally given to me by E. J. A. WooprorD, Esq. I am enabled to draw up the fol- 
lowing descriptio 
: ire, but in another indent- 
ed-ciliate: the remaining Petals very small. Style small, buried within the labellum, behind “ey crt 
: . Stigma nearly orbicular, concave. “Aut sae a Pcveaty 
gin of the style, 2-locular. Pollen in the living specimen dissolved upon the stigma : ina dried one 
both species moistened by boiling water, apparently consisting of ate grains.
