120, CIRRHOPETALUM fimbriatum; pseudobulbis ovatis subtetragonis, 
folis ovalibus . . ... , Scapo erecto, bracteis linearibus acuminatis, um- 
bellá multiflora, sepalis lateralibus ligulatis vix acutis coherentibus supremo 
petalisque ovatis acuminatis fimbriatis, labello crasso linguiformi nudo ob- 
tuso, column: angulis cornutis edentulis, antherá papillosá. 
A very pretty new species of this curious genus, with the 
long lower green sepals united into a channelled rather stiff 
strap, while the upper sepal and the petals are broken up at 
the margin into beautiful purple fringes. It is extremely 
different from all the species previously known, and was im- 
ported from Bombay by Messrs. Loddiges. In both this 
and C. nutans the pollen-masses are four in number, and 
collateral, all adhering together, with the interior pair much 
smaller than the two outer. 
121. CIRRHJEA saccata ; pseudobulbis ovatis obtusé tetrapteris inter an- 
gulos costatis, foliis oblongis plicatis sub-septem-costatis in pseudobulbos 
omnino sessilibus, scapo pendulo trigono, racemo multifloro, sepalis oblongis 
obtusis lateralibus margine revolutis, petalis lineari-lanceolatis obtusis basi 
teretibus compressis, labelli lobo medio galeato saccato. 
This is a very distinct species of the curious genus 
Cirrhza, for which I have to thank His Grace the Duke of 
Bedford, by whose directions it was sent me from Woburn, 
where it flowered in August. From all the previously known 
species it differs in the middle lobe of the lip being concave, 
and having very much the form of that of many Satyria. 
It has the general appearance of the other species, but its 
raceme is nearly a foot long, and the dull yellow green 
flowers are twice as large as those of any before discovered. 
It has been figured in the Botanical Magazine under the 
name of C. fusco-lutea, which is a different plant. 
122. CYTISUS Weldenti. Host. ft. austr. 2. 339. 
Baron Jacquin, in a letter 1 have recently received, ex- 
presses his surprise at the opinion given in one of our Eng- 
lish books that this species is the same as C. Laburnum or 
C. alpinus. He says it is impossible to confound a plant hav- 
Ing erect racemes, which do not droop even when ‘in fruit, and
