tinue long in perfection, exhaling in the forenoon the odour 
of Habenaria bifolia. 
** The pitcher is generally full of water, all the rain and 
dew which falls on the leaves being conducted into it; and 
it is apparently absorbed by the plant, as, if not replenished, 
A disappears more rapidly than evaporation would account 
for. 
* The fibres are simple, proceeding from the base of the 
tuber, and have a tendency to rise and run on the surface of 
the ground. The plant evidently delights in water when 
growing, and is apparently a native of bogs or swamps,” 
Upon comparing this with Swartz's account of his Cymbi- 
dium utriculatum, no doubt can remain of that plant being 
another species of Govenia, differing from the present chiefly 
in having a pubescent scape, and succulent white flowers ; 
it will therefore have to be added to this genus under the 
name of Govenia utriculata. 
67. BRASAVOLA glauca; foliis coriaceis oblongis obtusis planiusculis 
glaucis, spathá uniflora, sepalis petalisque lineari-lanceolatis obtusis her- 
baceis, labello subsessili subrotundo acuto margine lobato, clinandrio den- 
tato denti dorsali apice glanduloso. 
A most curious Orchidaceous plant, obtained near Vera 
Cruz for the Horticultural Society by Mr. Hartweg. Its 
habit is so much that of a Cattleya that till it flowered it was 
expected to belong to that genus. It however proves to be 
a Brasavola, with very large flowers. A figure of it is in 
preparation for Mr. Bateman's noble work on the plants of 
this order from Mexico and Guatemala. 
68. ONCIDIUM sanguineum; ebulbosum, foliis oblongis coriaceis dorso cari- 
natis, scapo longissimo paniculato, sepalis subrotundis unguiculatis laterali- 
bus basi connatis petalisque crispis sublobatis, labelli trilobi suberispi verni- 
cati lobis subequalibus intermedio retuso cuneato, cristá ovatá convexá corru- 
gata, columnz alis rotundatis sublobatis antherá puberulá, 
A noble species of this showy genus, with the habit of 
Oncidium carthaginense, but with straw-coloured flowers 
stained with crimson blotches. It was imported from La 
Guayra by Messrs. Loddiges. 
69. CYMBIDIUM bicolor. Gen. et Sp. Orch. p. 164. 
This has flowered with Messrs. Loddiges, who imported 
it from Ceylon. It proves to be a handsome species, with
