bra ; labellum concavo-obovatum, basi in calcar lineam fere longum gracili- 

 ter saccatum desmens, supra medio 3-lobatum, lobo medio multo ma- 

 j ore obtuso et ssepius mucronulato, marginibus crispulum, nervis basi 5, 

 sursum circiter 10 — 12, longitudinabbus percursum quarum 4 — 5 in lobum 

 majorem excurrunt et in fibrillas earnosas numerosas excrescunt ; columna 

 gracilis, recta, latiuscula, sepalorum dimidium vis attinens. — Here and tbere 

 socially on the grass-beatbs of Kamorta. 



Tbe plant, and indeed tbe structure of tbe flowers tbemselves, so closely 

 resembles Paehystoma senile that I considered it for a wbile to be 

 a perfectly glabrous form of it (P. senile baving tbe flowers and pedicels 

 all minutely puberulous), but it bas sbort bracts, and tbe pollinia assign it 

 to Eulophia.

 grass along a swampy rivulet west of Enaca, Kamorta.
