a reed-like habit, something like Sobr alia, and a tireo-Iobéd lip |

latter. A plant sent by Mr. Pres panne Trinidad flowered at 
Kew in September, 1870, but a since been lost sight of; and 
since then good specimens have been collected in British Guiana 
by Mr. Jenman. Living plants would again be acceptable, as the 
structure of the anther and stigma are difficult to decipher after 
being pressed and dried. The genus is dedicated to Mr. Jenman.

Described from a specimen in the Cambridge University Her-
