The Macradenia lutescens of this work (folio 612) we have 
never seen; but as it was described by Dr. Brown we have 
no difficulty in deciding, upon the evidence that the descrip- 
tion affords, that it is specifically different from this. 
No notice is taken by Dr. Brown of the existence of any 
lamella in the middle of the lip, nor of the abortive anthers 
which are always present; besides which the clinandrium 
here is regularly and strongly serrated, the leaves much 
narrower, and the raceme pendulous or, prostrate instead of 
erect. 
A native of Surinam, whence it was brought by Mr. 
Lance. It flowered in the possession of the Horticultural 
Society in May last. A strong damp stove heat is required 
to keep it in health. 
* So od in allusion to the long caudicula of the pollen masses, fig. 6. from 
axpoc long, and ačyv a gland.
