91. EPIDENDRUM rhizophorum. 
* Climate 70°.” 
92. ASPASIA epidendroides. 
« Very sweet; habitat ‘ Escuintla,” and * Medio Monte.’ 
Flowers in January and February. Climate 75° and 80°.” 
This same plant had previously been sent by Mr. Skinner 
from Costa Rica. 
93. EPIDENDRUM aromaticum. 
«Flowers in February and March. Habitat * Acate- 
nango,” * Duenas,’ ‘ Mixco,” ‘ Naranjo,’ &c. Climate 60° and

94. ODONTOGLOSSUM grande; sepalis lanceolatis lateralibus convexis 
falcatis petalisque oblongis obtusiusculis latioribus subundulatis, labello 
subrotundo basi auriculato sepalis plus dupld breviore: tuberculis basi 
tribus corrugatis aliisque lateralibus dentiformibus minoribus, column 
tomentose marginibus rotundatis convexis incurvis. 
“This is the finest plant we have in Orchidacez in this 
country. ‘The present specimen is a fine mass, and I hope 
may arrive safe. Climate 60° and 70°. I recommend not 
too much heat; it seldom gets a climate reaching 70°, and 
thrives best in damp shades, with perhaps 60°, rather than 
beyond that.” 
Certainly this is a most extraordinary plant. Its habit is 
altogether that of Odontoglossum, with which its unguiculate 
lip and peculiar column also correspond; but the tubercles 
at the base of the lip are those of Oncidium. The dried 
flowers measure sir inches and a half from the tip of the 
petals, and are doubtless shrunk in the process of aes: 
They look something like an enormous Maxillaria, and ap- 
ear to have been of a uniform yellow or white colour ; but 
of this I cannot very well judge. Two flowers grew together 
on a scape, which in the specimens before me is not more 
than five inches long. Mr. Skinner thinks that the reason 
why the plants he has formerly sent home have not flourished, 
is because they have been kept too warm. 
95. ONCIDIUM ornithorhynchum. 
« Habitat shady damp places, climate 68° to 70" and 75°; 
flowers in December and November.”
