An accompanying card signed by Mr. Rolfe, stated :—‘‘ Phaius tuber-— 
culosus, Blume (Limodorum tuberculosum, Thouars). A terrestrial 
species, identical with the original plant of Thouars. Recently introduced 
above name, and figured in several works, 
is not the original plant, and. I have renamed it Phaius simulans, in — 
allusion to the remarkable resemblance which its flowers bear to those 4 
of the original species.” (See figure on page 41.] 3
