103. EPIPHORA pubescens. Lindl. in Comp. to Bot. Mag. v. 2. p. 201. 
This very rare little Orchidaceous plant, originally found 
by Dr. Burchell in the Caffre country, and afterwards col- 
lected by Drége, has lately flowered with Messrs. Loddiges, 
who imported it from Delagoa Bay. It grows about 6 inches 
high, and has an ancipitous flexuose scape, terminated by a 
few fragrant bright yellow flowers streaked with red. It 
approaches very near to the genus Polystachya, next to 
which, among Vandes, it must be placed in any future ar- 
rangement. [t is an epiphyte. The inside of the little 
trident-shaped lip is bearded with long hairs. 
104. SPREKELIA glauca; foliis linearibus glaucis, floribus solitariis cer- 
nuis, sepalis medio albo-vittatis lateralibus parüm convolutis petalisque 
lanceolatis apice recurvis subeegualibus. 
A beautiful new Jacobea lily, discovered in Mexico by 
Mr. Hartweg. It flowered in the garden of the Horticultu- 
ral Society, in May, 1840. ‘The leaves are very narrow and 
glaucous; the flowers are paler than those of the old Jacobzea 
lily, much smaller, and have a pale streak along the middle 
of the sepals. 
105. PASSIFLORA verrucifera ; ($ Granadilla) foliis glabris trilobis serratis 
basi subacutis, petiolis apice biglandulosis, bracteis sepalisque margine 
glandulis verruciformibus auctis, corone radiis subulatis petalis bre- 
vioribus. 
A very curious greenhouse Passion-flower, related to the 
P. incarnata and edulis, but readily distinguished by its sepals 
and bracts bearing deep green wart-like glands upon the 
margin. The flowers are pale green, with a bright purple 
filamentous crown. It lowered in April last with Mr. Harris. 
The native country is unknown. 
106. CIRRHOPETALUM picturatum (G. Loddiges); pseudobulbis oblongis 
angulatis, folio oblongo convexo emarginato, floribus umbellatis, sepalo 
supremo ciliato setaceo-acuminato lateralibus oblongis obtusis, petalis 
acuminatissimis ciliatis villosis, labello lineari recurvo secus medium 
elevato, columnee auriculis obtusis integris. 
A pretty little Indian plant with purple flowers, growing 
in flat umbels, and deeply stained with dark red. Its 
habit is that of a Bolbophyllum, its scape from 5 to 6 inches 
high. Communicated by Messrs. Loddiges.
