74 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [MARCH, IgTo- 
given. They are rose-pink in colour, with a few minute darker dots and 
paler margins. The dorsal sepal and petals are yellowish, with dusky 
brown lines, and all strongly fringed with dark purple hairs. The lip is 
reddish purple, and, as usual, very delicately balanced. Another remark- 
able feature is that the flowers as soon as they open begin to exude a 
slightly gummy liquid, which is seen as glistening points on the lateral 
sepals, down which it trickles, ultimately falling off in drops. Five of these 
drops can be distinctly seen on the lower inflorescence in the photograph, 
which is the younger of the two. This has evidently some connection with 
the fertilisation of the flowers, but to make out its full significance it would 
be necessary to observe the plant in its native surroundings. It is a charm- 
ing little plant and succeeds well suspended in a pan in the Warm house, 
in the usual compost. Re-A; R.
