It is, 1 presume, impossible to determine with certainty 
to which, out of two or three taper-leaved Oncidiums, the 
name of Cebolleta was applied by Jacquin ; for he neither 
describes nor figures the flowers of his plant. In this un- 
certainty let the present, which agrees with the description 
of that Botanist as far as it goes, bear the name. It is a 
native of the Spanish Main, whence it was obtained by 
Messrs. Lowe and Co. of Clapton, who flowered it in 
February, 1836. | 
It is clearly distinguished from O. nudum by the lateral 
lobes of its lip being obovate, and by the nature of the 
tuberculated crest at its base. In all probability O. pa 
cifolium combined by me with O. Cebolleta will form 
another species, but l do not possess the materials for 
defining it. i
