Dossinia

(named in honour of E. P. Dossin, a Belgian botanist). ORD. Orchideoe. The only species in this genus is a small terrestrial Orchid, nearly allied to Anoectochilus, but differing in the boat-shaped process of the column, as well as in the absence of a bearded fringe to the lower part of the lip.

D. marmorata (marbled)* is the correct name of the plant described in this work under the name of Anoectochilus Lowii. SYN. Cheirostylis marmorata. (F. d. S. 370.)
