represented what I saw. ‘The representation of our artist in our 
actual work would appear to have been taken from the same 
plant. And yet, what differences! The plant is much slenderer. 
The representation of the inflorescences is not to be under- 
stood from fig. 1; they appear umbellate-racemose, the flower 
standing at the side of a peduncle, and yet they are represented 
in a deflexed manner, as if they came out single. It has been in 
the Saundersian collection, whose No. 567 it was, also reported 
to be a product of Moulmein, likewise coming from Mr. Low. 
Yet in October, 1867, it had died, if I remember right. I did not 
see the plant. I do not rely on the difference of colour, yet the 
bristles of the tepals may be urged as being decidedly longer 
than those I have at hand in the typical specimen of my 
herbarium. 
Rhizome creeping, branches thick, with emaciate sheaths. 
Pseudobulbs distant, turbinate, at length wrinkled. Leaves 
cuneate at the base, oblong, bluntly acute. Racemes (arising 
from the sheaths of rhizome ?) nearly umbelliform. Bracts short. 
Upper sepal cuneate-oblong acute, greenish, with rows of dark 
brown-violet dots above the nerves (or brown streaks, according 
to the artist), and with long bristles round the limb; lateral 
sepals a little shorter, of the same colour and the same border, 
curved inwards. ‘'epals narrow, ligulate, bluntly acute (observed, 
or at least represented, aristate by the artist), shortly ciliate, 
observed dark violet by me (greenish by the artist ?). Lup very 
moveable, trifid; basilar lacinie triangular, straight on the 
anterior side, serrate on the rounded posterior side; middle 
principal lacinia broad oblong acute, with two semi-ovate serru- 
late keels at the base, and nine serrulate crests above the disk, 
the middle crest running between the keels (seen yellowish 
with violet streaks by me, yellow with purplish streaks by the 
artist). Column yellow, thickish, semi-terete, with one tooth 
at each angle and a serrulate back border. Anther with an 
erect blunt protuberance. All the hairs at the border are 
yellowish. 
Materials :—Very poor. A sketch kindly sent by J. Day, Esq., 
and that single dried inflorescence which I obtained in 1865; 
my original sketches.
