A curious Brazilian Orchidaceous plant, with smaller 

 flowers than any other species of the genus yet in the 

 gardens ; I am obliged for it to Stephen Cannon, Esq. of 

 Stratford Green. The flowers are a pale brownish yellow, 

 except the column which is green, short, thick, and wedge- 

 shaped. Flowered in the stove in May, for the first time. 



82. EPIDENDRUM cauliflorum. 



E. cauliflorum ; caule tereti, foliis ovato-oblongis planis acuminatissimis, co- 

 ryrabis brevibus axillaribus e latere caulls erumpentibus, sepalis angustis ob- 

 longis patentissimis subasquallbus concavis, petalis linearibus apice cuneatis 

 acutis reflexis, labello columnae arcuate clavats omnin6 accreto cuneato- 

 subrotundo trilobo; lobo intermedio truncate tridentato lateralibus rotun- 

 datis repandis, callis tribus linearibus In medio labelli lateralibus majoribus. 



A native of Rio Janeiro, whence it was obtained 

 Messrs. Loddiges. The flowers are about the size of those 

 of E. nutans, of a pale straw-colour, and are remarkable 

 for appearing from the side of the stout cylmdrical stem, 

 bursting forth from among the dry sheaths with which it is 

 closely invested. 



83. PAN^TIA fulva. 



fulva 



semi 



ktis medio plumosis, setis pappi radialis 5-6 discoidalis 9-10. 



A beautiful little annual plant, with the habit of a Gna- 

 phalium, introduced from Swan River by R. Mangles, Esq. 

 It flowered in May 1838, and proved to differ from P. Les- 

 sonii ip the shape of the involucral scales, in the number of 

 setse of the pappus, and in being a larger plant covered 

 with a cobweb-like hoariness. The flower-heads are of the 

 red-o-old colour of Helichrysum bracteatum, dry like many 

 everrasting-flowers, and although small, very pretty.
