EXTRACTS OF PROCEEDINGS. 



xcvii 



a very old species which has been lost sight of for years. 

 It belongs to the macranthum section, but reminds one of 

 having the sepals and petals of Odontoglossum Harryanum and 

 the lip of Oncidium tigrinum. The sepals and petals are 

 yellowish green, the former transversely barred with deep shiny 

 brown, the latter longitudinally lined with the same colour. • 

 The lip is deep yellow, with several bristle-like teeth forming 

 the crest.
