Gen. Char. Perianthium§ (calyx and corollaj (see fig. 1.) 
superior, more or less coloured. Sepals (fig. 1. c, c, c.) 3, spear- 
shaped, spreading, almost equal. Petals (fig. 1. d, d.) 2, oblong, 
or spear-shaped, ascending, nearly as long as the sepals. Lip (see 
fi"s. 1 & 4.) more or less lobed, producing from the base a spur, 
which is either prominent or not. Anther (fig. 1. e.) terminal, 
hemispherical, deciduous. Pollen-masses 4, waxy, oblique, not 
parallel. Germen (fig. 1 . h.) inversely egg-oblong. Column ( style J 
(fig' 1 . 2 & 3.) free, shorter than the petals, incurved, convex behind, 
channelled in front. Stigma obsolete, beneath the anther in front. 
Capsule elliptic-oblong. Seeds numerous, extremely minute, round- 
ish, each with a long, lax, white, chaffy tunic. 
The terminal, deciduous anther; the 4 waxy, stalkless pollen- 
masses ; the lip with a minute spur, either adnate with the germen, 
or free; and the plano-convex, entire column; will distinguish this 
from other genera in the same class and order.
