107. CIRRHOPETALUM auratum ; pseudobulbis oblongis angulatis, folio 
oblongo convexo, floribus umbellatis, sepalo supremo petalisque setaceo- 
acuminatis fulvo-ciliatis lateralibus acutis, labello lineari recurvo, columnee 
auriculis rotundatis integris. 
Sent to Messrs. Loddiges from Manilla, by Mr. H. Cum- 
ing. Itis very like the last, but much larger in the flowers, 
which are fringed with golden yellow hairs, which gives them 
‘an appearance distinct from that of the last, where they are 
deep purple. 
108.. ONCIDIUM pallidum ; pseudobulbis obcordatis compressis marginatis, 
folis acuté carinatis convexis oblongis ccsiis, scapo erecto paniculato, 
sepalis petalisque oblongis: obtusis liberis, labelli auriculis rotundatis 
lobo intermedio cuneato-obovato emarginato angustioribus, disci basi 
glandulosi appendice 5-partitâ: laciniis cornutis egualibus pubescenti- 
bus, columnee alis brevissimis obliqué truncatis. 
A very pretty Orchidaceous plant, obtained from the 
Brazils by Messrs. Lucombe, Pince, and Co. of Exeter. 
The leaves are sea-green like those of Maxillaria Rollissonii ; 
the panicle is almost a foot long, and the flowers are in colour 
similar to O. divaricatum. It is very near O. Harrisonianum. 
109. STANHOPEA Martiana (J. B.); foliis anguste lanceolatis acutis race- 
mo paucifloro longioribus, sepalis petalisque paulo angustioribus ovatis 
obtusis, hypochilio brevi sessili saccato utrinque cornubus maximis por- 
rectis apice cirrhosis sub-incurvis instructo, epichilio oblongo lcevigato ob- 
scuré 3-dentato apice subreflexo cornubus hypochilii breviorevel subeeguali, 
columnee subclavatee marginibus parúm dilatatis. Bateman in litt. 
** A native of Mexico, discovered by Baron Karwinski in 
1827, and sent by him to Knypersley, where it flowered for the 
first time in May of the present year. It is one of the most 
distinct and magnificent species of the extraordinary genus to 
which it belongs, and in the magnitude of its blossoms is 
second only to jS. tigrina. The sepals are straw-coloured, 
faintly and sparingly marked with clusters of little vinous 
dots, the petals appear transparent white, with large spots of 
Intense crimson, the lip is also a clear ivory white, except a 
slight discoloration at the base. — It is however in the horns 
of the latter member that the most striking peculiarity of the 
Species consist. These are of great size and strength, and 
might with propriety be likened to elephant tusks, their ex- 
tremities moreover are twisted into small cirrhi, a circum- 
stance wholly without precedent in the genus Stanhopea. 
The nearest affinity of the plant is perhaps S. saccata, but
