(the upper flower often miscarrying’ with us), several times 
longer than the leaf; bractes 3, small, subulate, pressed 
close to and much shorter than the calyx, the middle dif-

cordate, reflex, shorter than the carina; unguis linear, 
arched, equal to the calyx; lamina orbicularly widened and 
expanded below, deeper coloured and by the bending of 
the sides narrowed and concave above, often tinged with

inner edge, and overlapping the carina by their outer:
