Cleisomeria lanatum (Lindl.) Lindl. ex G.Don, 1855

Introduced by George Wailes, Esq., of Newcastle-on-Tyne. with whom it flowered in July, 1849. It has distichous broad blunt leaves, and a dense branched woolly raceme much longer than the leaves. The flowers are very small, like those of some Bolbophylls, and pale yellow with purple stripes. It has no beauty, but is an interesting species to botanists,
