BATEMANNIANUM, Kmwles et PFesicoH.—A beautiful and distinct though somewhat variable species, growing about 18 inches high, and having oblong compressed diphyllous pseudobnlbs, and erect oblong pale green leaves; the flowers grow in erect racemes, or in large branched panicles (ramosKmi), and have ovate acute sepals, broader petals, and a large roundish emarginate three- lobed lip which is clear yellow, the small sepals and petals being of a brownish-purple, and the base of the lip of the same colour. There are two varieties, one (a) with racemes, the other (b) with a panicled inflorescence. It is rather a shy-flowering plant, but one which is worth growing on account of its beautiful bright yellow flowers, which are produced at different times of the year. It belongs to the section Verruci-tuherculata, and has a prominent crest consisting of three to five short plates at the base, and three others in front, diverging, irregularly lobed, and having around them oncidium Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly r
