A truly beautiful plant found wild in the Organ moun- 
tains of Brazil, and originally introduced by the late 
lamented Mrs. Arnold Harrison. When well managed it 
throws up a profusion of its gay speckled flowers, which 
remain perfect for some time. 
Our drawing was made in the stove of the Messrs. 
Loddiges in November 1834. 
There are two other unpublished species of Maxillaria, 
belonging to this section, which we take this opportunity of 
naming. 
1. M. rufescens ; pseudobulbis ovatis subtetragonis monophyllis, foliis lanceo- 
latis utrinque acuminatis, scapis unifloris prostratis vaginis minimis distanti- 
bus, sepalis petalisque oblongis conformibus obtusis, labello oblongo trilobo 
etuberculato laciniis lateralibus minimis acutis intermedia elongata emar- 
ginatá. 
A native of Trinidad, whence it was imported by Mr. 
Lowe of Clapton. Our description is taken from a drawing 
and flower transmitted from Chatsworth in December 1834,
