Among the Mazillarias, Stenia, Lindl. was long well known, 
both for its very peculiar pollen apparatus and for the immobility 
of its ip. When I described the new species, I was in great doubt 
whether I had to place it under Stenia or under the very little 
known genus Chondrorrhyncha of our lamented Dr. Lindley (Orch. 
Lind. p. 12), which had been thought to stand near T'richopilia by 
its acute author. The very great difference in the chin and the 
different callosity induce me to think that it is better, in the actual 
state of our knowledge, to keep Chondrorrhyncha apart from 
Stenia. 
There may be a third species, viz. the ‘‘ Chondrorrhyncha ? 
Rehb. f. in Seemann, Bonplandia, i. 67.” My friend Wagener 
stated that it had violet flowers. I am, however, unable to point 
out any difference in the dry flowers. Yet one must consider that 
by their extraordinary thinness they are nearly as disagreeable 
objects for examination as dry flowers of Utricularia. Our 
species has pallid green flowers, according to a memorandum of 
Mr. Wallis appended to a very honest sketch. In his plant the
