which the labellum was precisely of the same nature af 
that of Catasetum tridentatum, that is to say, destitute o 
the crested appendages, and perfectly galeate and naked. 
An extremely rare stove plant, easily cultivated in 
decayed earth, and propagated very slowly by the fleshy 
bulbs on which the leaves are seated. 
The plants have altogether the appearance of C. triden- 
tatum ; but the leaves are rather broader, and more nerved. 
Spike radical, nearly erect, many-flowered, shorter than 
the leaves. Bracteé small, ovate. Ovary an inch or more 
long, rounded. Perianth expanded, green; the two anterior 
sepals spreading, oblong-lanceolate, channelled ; the three 
posterior erect, and nearly parallel; the innermost being 
shorter and thinner. Labellum jointed with the columna, 
spreading, saccate at base, crested on the margin and disk 
with numerous fleshy, whitish processes. Colwmna in all 
respects that of Catasetum. Pi
