PREFACE

The publication of the present volume represents the
fulhlment of some portion of the trust bequeathed to me by

_ the late author.

Thirty-six of the hundred plates have already appeared in
the “Orchids of the Cape Peninsula,’ published in 1888, and
now out of print. In addition to these nine were drawn from
the living plants by Mr. F. BOLUS and bear his name. The
remaining fifty-five are the finished, or more or less finished
drawings left by the author. In the latter cases additions of
various kinds were made to complete the plates by Mr.
F, BOLus, to whom I am also greatly indebted for his help
in the correcting and revising of proofs and for a general
supervision of the whole work.

Besides the old friends whose help has been acknowledged
in the prefaces to the previous volumes, | specially wish to
thank Mr. A. G. MCLOUGHLIN, of Engcobo, whose specimens
carefully enclosed in several layers of brown paper saturated
with water arrived after a journey of five or six days looking
as if they had just been gathered; also Mr. T. R. Sim,
of Pietermaritzburg, and Mrs. T. V. PATERSON, of Redhouse,
daughter of the late Mr. RUSSELL HALLACK, in whose honour
Satyrium Hallackii was named.

It is our intention to proceed with the drawing of African
Orchids, and in order to achieve this end we must rely very
considerably on those who are interested in this study and
have opportunities for collecting and transmitting living
specimens. These will be most gratefully received, and labels
for free postage can be sent to all who desire them.

“ SHERWOOD,” Curator Bolus Herbarium,

The species is a very pretty and elegant one, unlike any other,
and was regarded by Lindley as the type of a distinct genus. But,
excepting the union of the caudicles of the pollinia into a single
gland, the peculiar difference lies in the appearance of the column,
due merely to the pushing up of parts

An erect glabrous herb, 8-80 cm. high; stem straight leafy ;
leaves spreading or ascending, sheathing at base, cordate-ovate
acute, the margins reflexed undulate, the lower ones 1:5-4 cm.
long, the upper ones gradually smaller ; spike cylindrical, densely
many-flowered, flowers white; bracts ascending leaf-like ovate
acuminate, exceeding the flowers; lateral sepals spreading-
deflexed subfalcate, broadly elliptical obtuse, 0°2-0°4 cm. long ;
odd sepal a little shorter, ovate-oblong ; petals connate with the
sepals at base, revolute ovate-oblong obtuse, as long as the odd
sepal; lip erect galeate, the mouth broader than long, depressed
at the apex, obtuse, the sacs very short, obtuse; stipe of the
column abbreviated; rostellum short, hiding the stigma, the
intermediate lobe obtuse; anther slightly ascending, its apex
turned to the front of the flower, the glands posterior and distant ;
stigmatiferous lobe semi-orbicular, deeply bifid ; ovary elliptical,
the ribs muricate, 0°3-0°4 cm. long.

Var. B. OCELLATUM.—Upper bracts shorter than the flowers ;
deflexed point of the galea very long, reaching nearly to the base,
and forming two circular entrances to the flower.

Described from several living and dried specimens. The plants
from which the drawings were made were collected on the
Peninsula (Bolus, 4554).

In the structure of the column this species differs from any
other known to me. The anther, instead of hanging vertically
under the rostellum with its glands pointing forward, as is the
typical structure in the genus, appears as if pushed up against the
apex of the column, so as to be nearly horizontal, with the glands
turned to the back of the flower, and the stigma completely
covered and hidden from view.

sheathing at base, 2-7 cm. long; spike oblong, rather* dense,
6-20. ; bracts ovate-lanceolate acuminate, exceeding the
flowers or a little smaller; lateral sepals spreading or ascending,
oblong obtuse, 0°7 cm. long ; odd sepal erect galeate, acute or
obtuse, crenulate on the margin, a little longer than the lateral

sepals, obtuse or obscurely sacculate at base ; petals ascending
subfalcate-oblong, denticulate at the apex, 0°5 cm. long; lip
spreading-deflexed, soon becoming erect, lanceolate subacute,
entire or crenulate, as long as the petals ; rostellum erect 3dentate,
the glands approximate ; anther horizontal, at length resupinate ;
ovary 0°5-0°7 cm. long.

Described from several dried and living specimens collected on
the Peninsula, from which also the drawing was made.

The early closing of the flowers by the falling inwards of the
lip, and the erection of the side sepals is very curious, and I have
not observed it in any other species.

An erect glabrous herb, 10-30 cm. high ; stem straight, leafy
at base, clothed with 3-6 leaf-like sheaths ; leaves erect-spreading or
erect-incurved, linear-lanceolate acuminate, the margins involute,
3-7 cm. long ; raceme subcorymbose, finally elongate, 3-138fl., the

flowers erect or ascending ; bracts herbaceous, ovate or lanceolate,
shorter than, or more rarely as long as, the ovary ; lateral sepals
spreading ovate-oblong emarginate undulate keeled, conduplicate
at the apex, 1:2-1-4 cm. long ; odd sepal anterior horizontal
cucullate obtuse, compressed towards the apex, about as long as
the lateral sepals ; petals decumbent oblong very obtuse, incurved
at the apex denticulate and pubescent on the outside, auriculate
on the posterior margin at the base, 0°8-0°9 cm. long ; lip projecting
forward subulate acute, widened and toothed above the base, as
long as the petals ; rostellum erect 3fid, the intermediate lobe
reflexed, shorter than the lateral lobes ; anther strongly resupinate,
the glands approximate ; ovary straight, with the pedicel 1-1-5 cm.
long.

Described from several dried and living specimens. The
drawing was made from a living plant collected on the Muizenberg.
(Bolus, 4638.)

The colouring is very peculiar. The side sepals are divided in
this respect longitudinally into two parts, the anterior half being
white, the posterior half black-purple on the outer or lower side,
deep crimson on the upper; the hood greenish white and veined ;
the petals and lip pale green variously mottled with purple.

Very closely allied to D. dzvalvata and may be distinguished
(1) by the shape of the hood which is more beaked. and (2) by the
colouring.

This is very closely allied to D. fenella, Sw., and is regarded
by Dr. Schlechter as a var. of that species. The difference in the
spur and the smaller size of the flowers, seem to afford sufficient
grounds for keeping it as a distinct species.

horizontal, the gland solitary, almost quadrate ; stigma depressed

Described from several dried and living specimens. The
drawings of tab. 71 were made from specimens collected on the
Cape Peninsula; that figured under A having been brought by
Mr. Bodkin (Bolus, 4874), and that under B by Mr. R. du Toit
(Bolus, 18509) : those figured under tab. 72 were both specimens
collected by the former at Houw Hoek.

The colour of the flowers (of the form collected on the Penin-
sula) is greenish with occasional purple spots, while that of those
from Houw Hoek is pale purple or rosy. At the latter place was
found another form, with a very long and distantly flowered
spike and greenish flowers. The tuber is irregular in shape and
sometimes large, resembling those of the section Herschelia.
