Column semi-cylin- drical, curved, cream-colored, with a broad, red spot at the base. Anther-case conical, obtuse. Pollen-masses four, un- equal, attached to a broad gland by their base. Nat. Ord.

This plant has a very singular mode of growth, producing its distichous flowers in a leafy spike quite distinct from the pseudo-bulbs, which themselves originate from the axils of leafy branches: and the plant has not yet had justice done to it in either of the figures above quoted, least of all in that of the Botanical Magazine; whence I have thought it deserving of being again represented. The flowers of the leafy spike open in succession, but I have never seen more than two expanded at once.

  Botanical Description Stem compressed, much branched, and proliferous,

bearing oblong, compressed, smooth pseudo-bulbs, having a long, ligulate leaf on each side at the base, and about three terminal leaves of the same shape. Flowers from the axils of the leaves of a long, proliferous shoot, or branch, which bears small, distichous, ovato-oblong, acute leaves, one flower in each axil opening successively from below, and bracteated; bracteas subulate, brown. Flowers white or cream-color, fragrant, rather large. Sepals and petals nearly uniform, oblongo-obovate, the latter rather narrower; all of them concave. Lip applied to the column, yellow, streaked trans- versely with red, oblong, three-lobed; side-lobes small, middle one obtuse; the disk of the lip has a broad crest, formed of © Thrifty Whiskers
