We knew this species for a long while only as a garden plant. 
Jt was introduced by Consul Schiller, with whom it has often 
flowered. We also saw it in the Saundersian collection. It comes 
from Guatemala, Dr. Bernouilli ! 
Stems ceespitose, reaching the height of a foot. Leaves dis- 
tichous, triangular, bluntly acute, often inflexed at the apex. 
Racemes numerous, lateral or terminal, with a few flowers, often 
all bent to one side. Sheaths and bracts ovate-triangular, cor- 
date, hollowed out, herbaceous, shorter than the stalked ovary. 
Flowers deep lemon-colour, the inferior part of lip with crimson 
streaks and spots, the column-wings with crimson spots, and 
some such streaks under the stigmatical hollow. Sepals ovate, 
apiculate, reverse. T'epals oblong, with a little short point. Lip 
quinquefid, the basilar lacune ligulate, retuse, sometimes angu- 
late over the anterior base, the lateral ones triangular, the ante- 
rior flabellate, bifid, crispo-undulate, furnished with an hexagonal 
tumour on the base, and before with a trisulcate tumour with 
many transverse furrows, reminding one of some pavement. 
Column short. Wings triangular, sometimes lobed. Stigmatical 
hollow ligulate. 
Materials : — Six Guatemalese specimens; seven garden speci- 
mens, and many such flowers; Dr. Lindley’s sketch, and my own 
sketches prepared at various times.
