on each side, never rugulose as are the pseudobulbs of Lycaste 
macrophylla, Endl. Popp. Developed upper leaves four or five, 
cuneate, oblong-acuminate, plaited, with five prominent ribs; 
cicatrices of fallen leaves with some little spiny processes. Flower- 
stalks greenish or purplish, single or several in the axils of old 
sheaths when the pseudobulb is fully developed, of various 
lengths, usually reaching a span length, with ochreate, acute, 
distant sheaths. The bract like the sheaths, but more scariose 
and usually longer than the stalked ovary. Chin acute-angled, 
short. Sepals oblong, acute, viscid outside, green. Tepals 
cuneate-oblong, blunt, acute, shorter, broader, white, often with a 
yellowish hue. Lip cuneate-oblong, trilobed ; lateral lobes obtuse- 
angled, abrupt; middle lobe ligulate or ovate or oblong lobulate ; 
velvety, white and yellowish; a depressed ligulate or semi- 
oblong callosity in the disc between the lateral lobes. Column 
trigono-clavate, velvety under the stigmatic hollow; the rostellar 
process above it quite entire, or cut out for the caudicle, pro- 
truded. Anther-case blunt, velvety. Pollinia obtuse-angled, 
depressed. Candicle linear. Glandule heart-shaped. 
Materials :—Several analytical sketches made at various times ;

This is an old plant in my collection, having been procured 
several years since from Mr. Masters, of the Exotic Nursery, 
Canterbury. It flowers freely grown in a cool, damp house, 
potted in spongy peat and sphagnum, and well drained.—
