This was also found in the Organ Mountains by Mr. Gardner, 
from whom I have a specimen (No. 652), and as it is pro- 
bably already in this country, it may as well be named and 
characterized. Theunpublished name of Jonquil is so likely 
to lead to misconception, that 1 make no excuse for changing 
it to 
M. xanthina; pseudobulbis ovalibus tetragonis 1-2-phyllis, foliis angusté lan- 
ceolatis, pedunculis ascendentibus unifloris pedicello sterili terminatis, 
bracteá ovatá mucronatá cucullatá, sepalis petalisque oblongis acutis patu- 
lis subequalibus, labello oblongo trilobo laciniis lateralibus erectis linearibus 
obtusissimis integris intermediá bilabiatá : labio superiore carnoso abbreviato 
truncato 5-dentato inferiore oblongo acuto. 
This is very different from both M. aromatica and Rollissonú. 
M. Descourtilz found it on the high mountains of Ilha 
Grande, on the side towards the sea, and exposed to the 
rising sun. He does not say whether it occurs on trees or 
on the ground.
