This genus is very different from Cymbidium, from which 
it is clearly distinguishable by habit, winged column below 
the summit of which the anthera is inserted; and also by the 
remarkable two-lipped gynizus, which is almost exactly the 
same as that of Arethusee. We established it sometime 
ago in our Collectanea Botanica, defining two certain spe- 
cies from Nepal, and indicating another, the Cymbidium 
nitidum of Wallich, as probably belonging to the same 
genus. Our definition of the genus having been drawn. up 
from. dried specimens only, it is peculiarly gratifying to us to 
find, from the inspection of a new living species, that our 
account of the genus, and of its essential characters, was in 
all respects correct, with the exception of the anthera being 
one-celled. That organ being, in the present Species, dis-.
