in May last. 
C. ziphiifolium with spotless pallid flowers is very near 
this species, and is perhaps a variety; but it appears to be 
distinguished by its lower bracts being nearly as long as the 
ovary, and by the ovate fiat labellum, in which no undula- 
tion exists. 
Fig. 1. is the labellum of C. ensifolium 8; fig. 2. of C. 
xiphiifolium. ; 
Messrs. Loddiges and Mr. Barker of Springfield have 
lately flowered a most beautiful new Brazilian Orchidaceous | 
plant, which will soon be published in this work. It will be 
called Miltonia spectabilis, the character of the genus being 
very briefly the following :— 
Perianthium explanatum, conforme. Labellum indivisum dilatatum cum ovario 
continuum basi cuniculatum. ^ Columna et pollinia Oncidii. 
Sp. 1. M. spectabilis. Pseudobulbosa. Vaginze scapi uniflori equitantes. Sepala 
et petala pallide viridicitrina. Labellum grande violaceum.
