and been apparently lost, this rare plant has suddenly made 
its appearance almost at the very same time in several col- 
lections. The first notice we had of it was from Messrs.

Mrs. Arnold Harrison, whose truly splendid collection of 
Orchideous epiphytes has lately been added to the stock of 
Mr. Knight, of the King's Road ; it was obtained by that 
lady from Bahia. We had scarcely secured a drawing of 
rs. Harrison's specimen, before a sketch and specimens 
reached us from Mr. Bateman ; and before many more days
