* PLEUROTHALLIS pícta. 
Painted Pleurothallis. 
GYNANDRIA MONANDRIA. 
Nat. ord. ORcHiDacEE, S MALAXIDEE. 
PLEUROTHALLIS.—Supra, vol. 9. fol. 759. 
P. picta ; folio spathulato marginato retuso racemis laxis dupló breviore, bracteis 
minimis, sepalis acuminatis lateralibus apice tantúm sejunctis, petalis lineari- 
lanceolatis acutis, labello lineari obtuso carnoso supra l-suleato. Supra 
fol. 1797. 
Very near the P. Grobyi already figured in this work 
(fol. 1797), from which it principally differs in its spathula- 
shaped retuse leaves, and in the narrower form of all the parts 
of the flower; as will be seen by comparing the dissections 
in the two plates. 
This also is a native of Demerara, and was sent us by 
Mr. Loddiges first in October 1834, and next in March 1835, 
when our drawing was made. Itis a graceful pretty species, 
and well deserves an attentive examination. 
Its tufts are rapidly formed under good management, but 
it seems to require the close atmosphere of a bell-glass. 
Fig. 1. is a view of the column, petals, and lip. 2. The
