This species belon o the section Rostrata, but is readily distin- 
guished fon others o de group by having the front lobe of the lip 
reduced to a small triangular body—in fact, nearly obsolete—while the 
side lobes are well developed. In this respect it is analogous with 
the segments? There are also a very few abortive flowers, in which the 
segments are reduced to minute linear-oblong yellow bodies. It was 
introduced by Messrs. Linden, L'Horti iod EEE cim Brussels, 
ge whom it was sent to Kew in November

This very distinct orchid flowered in the collection of Sir Trevor 
Lawrence, Bart., Burford, Dorking, in February 1894, when it was 
sent to Kew for determination. It was serai up Mr. J. O'Brien, 
of Harrow-on-the-Hill, who received it from F. C. Lehmann. In 
its vegetative organs it resembles a Trichopilia, nus the raceme is like 
that of a Brassia though the flowers are totally different in structure E 
rather more spreading segments. The lip is strongly three-lobed, with 
short erect side lobes, which at first =a the base ofthe column ce 
then reflex, and a long narro arrow and acuminate fro The colum 
is rather short, with a fimbriate inti debi somewhat like that of
