��HEXAMERIA DISTICHA. 0»

Tab. VII. Hexameria.

Chiloglottis v. Appendicula, Blume Bijdr. p. 29G-7, ad Malaxideas pertinens.

Char. Gun. Perianthium erectiusculum, sepalis latera- libus exteriorum basi connatis et infra productis in saccum maximum calcar obtusum einulantem. Labellum e basi calcaris ortum, unguiculatum ; lamina superne indivisa, basi biseta. Columna brevissima. Anther a (filamento insidens) stigmati bilobo parallela, bilocularis. Masses pollinis cereacese, in singulo loculo tres (!), quarnm duse inferiores collaterales, tertia superior, omnes apice acuto affixse corpusculo septifoxmi loculum longitudinaliter bipar- tienti et cum eodein deciduse.

Epiphyta nana ; caule ramoso ; foliis distichis, mucro- natis, basi in petiolum brevem semivaginantem attenuates; racemis terminalibus i paucifloris.

Obs. Hexameria proxima Chiloglottidi esse videtur, for- sanque ab ipsa Chiloglottidi serpgllifolia, Bl. baud diversa ; et si in hac necnon in Ajppendiculis omnibus septa mobilia decidua loculos antherse bipartientia et massas pollinis affigentia exstant base tria genera conjungi merentur. Numerus ternarius enim massarum, quamvis characterem insignem, et in Hexameria distichd constantem, prsebens, minoris certe valoris considerari debet.

Hexameria distich a, R. Br.
