Scapo puberulo tenui, bractea lanceolata carinata acuta dimi- 

 diutn ovarii aequante. Sepalo dorsali latissime obovato explanato 

 apice brevi acutato utrinque 9 — 11 nervio in nervis extus puberulo, 

 sepalis lateralibus in phyllum multoties et inusitate parvuin ova- 

 tum acuminatum coalitis, petalis late linearibus acutis arctissime 

 deflexis, papillis minutis valde distantibus 3 v. 4 in margine supe- 

 riore minute fimbriatis , labello petalis aequilongo marginibus ostii 

 satis distantibus grosse papillosis, sacco amplo supra utrinque in 

 lobulum acutum aucto; gynostemio gracili, staminodio antice pro- 

 funde lunato medio sulcato (fere bipartito), dente in ima parte sulci 

 paulum prosiliente (non proprie umbonato). — Sepal, dorsale 4,5 cm. 

 altum et latum, sep. inferius 2,2 cm. longum, 8 mm. latum, petala

It is not without hesitation , that 1 found a new species of Cypri- 

 pedium of which I am quite unable to give any particulars about the 

 colours. The characters which make me believe that the species must be a 

 new one are the extreme smallness of the lower sepal and the strictly deflexed 

 petals. The first character is never observed in such a degree and the 

 position of the petals is in similar manner only to be seen in Cyp. 

 Fairieanum and Cyp. Dayanum but in neither the petals are so directly 

 deflexed as in this species and both species are out of the question by 

 numerous other characters. My material consists in 3 flowers preserved 

 in alcohol and I am quite sure that I have seen all parts in their natural 

 position and not injured by pressure.
