It is not without hesitation, that | found a new species of Cyprii- 
pedium of which I am quite unable to give any particulars about the 
colours. The characters which make me believe that the species must be a 
new one are the extreme smallness of the Jower sepal and the strictly deflexed 
petals. The first character is never observed in such a degree and the 
position of the petals is in similar manner only to be seen in Cyp. 
Fairieanuin and Cyp. Dayanwm but in neither the petals are so directly 
deflexed as in this species and both species are out of the question by 
numerous other characters. My material consists in 3 flowers preserved 
in alcohol and I am quite sure that I have seen all parts in their natural 
position and not injured hy pressure.
