Drawn in Mr. Griffin's conservatory at Lambeth. In* 

 troduced by the Horticultural Society from China. We 

 had no opportunity of inspecting the pkint ; but comparing 

 our figure and the description we have quoted above 

 with the character given by Mr. Brown of Neottia 

 austraUs, a native of India as well as New Holland^ 

 we can as yet see no sufficient ground for determining 

 a difference in their . species. At alf events no distinction 

 has been pointed out, nor the two compared by any 

 author; and until that has been done they are evidently 

 too near akin to be idly disposed of by different names.
