This is a genus principally distinguished from Ornithi- 
dium, by not having the labellum united with the base of 
the columna, nor a connivent perianthium, nor a fleshy 
discus to the labellum, and especially characterized by its 
small labellum and expanded perianthium. It is easily dis- 
tinguished from Isochilus and Telipogon by the obvious 
difference in form between the sepals and labellum. 
The plant from which our figure was taken, was sent, this 
year, by his Excellency Sir Ralph Woodford, from Trinidad, 
to the Horticultural Society, in whose garden at Chis- 
wick our drawing was made in last July. It appears to 
have been in a wild state parasitical upon the trunks of 
trees, and requires the cultivation applicable to other plants 
of a similar description. 
We find it nowhere described. Cymbidium vestitum, of 
Swartz, is possibly of the ur ru but differs, accord-
