 Panukka flores sub odorum. 



This species is intermediate between D. Pierardia and 

 D. moschatum. Tliese species are evidently separated by 

 Lindley, apparently owing to the racemose flowers of the latter; 

 but it will be at once evident, that this is a consideration of 

 very small importance, for the flowers are, in all racemose, and 

 a raceme can scarcely be expected to be constantly 2 flowered* 

 All the species with cochleate labella are closely akin, they run 

 into each other so much, that distinguishing marks are very 

 difficult.
