Epiphytal. _Stem_ dwarf, erect, densely leafy. _Leaves_ crowded, distichous, linear, obliquely præmorse, with an acute apex, deflexed, channelled towards the base, pale green. _Racemes_ erect from the upper axils, six inches long, densely flowered, the peduncles pale green, bracteate, the pedicels red, six-angled, with a small ovate bracteole at the base. _Flowers_ bright cinnabar-red, about an inch across, somewhat concave; _dorsal sepal_ obovate, with a claw-like base, entire; _lateral sepals_ somewhat broader at the base, and unequal-sided, all spreading, and of a uniform dense cinnabar-red; _petals_ of the same form as the dorsal sepal, and of a similar tint of colour; _lip_ with a cylindraceous obtuse spur over a quarter of an inch long, to the front side of which is attached a tongue-like linear lamina, truncately-emarginate at the apex, and having a central paler orange rib with two knobs at the top of the spur-tube; at the back of the spur are two short erect lobes, which are convex outwardly, and with a boss or protuberance on the inner surface; lip more orange than the sepals, the processes at the end of the spur yellow; _spur_ of the same colour as the lip. _Column_ short, deep red, semi-terete, the angle winged upwards, the anther-case tinted with violet.

The _Saccolabium_ rank among the richest and most beautiful of the Orchid family; indeed, there are some magnificent species among those cultivated in our Orchid houses, which we hope to figure as time passes on. In the present illustration we introduce to our subscribers one of the small growing kinds, and one of the most distinct which we have seen as regards its habit and the colour of its flowers. Our figure was taken from a well-grown plant in the fine collection of W. Lee, Esq., Downside, Leatherhead, whom we are glad to observe is collecting and cultivating, along with the other East Indian kinds, the best species and varieties of this genus that can be obtained.
