122. EPIDENDRUM (Encyclia) bractescens ; pseudobulbis ovatis ceespitosis 
3-4-phyllis, foliis linearibus, scapo debili 3-4-floro, bracteis infimis foli- 
aceis floribus longioribus supremis obsoletis, floribus nutantibus longé 
pedunculatis, sepalis petalisque lineari-lanceolatis acuminatis discoloribus 
labello longioribus, labelli liberi lobis lateralibus apice recurvis obtusis 
subdentatis intermedio unguiculato subrotundo-ovato multó longiore 
secus unguem elevato sulcato pubescente. 
This is one of the prettiest of the small species of Epiden- 
drum, and is quite distinct from all hitherto described. Mr. 
Hartweg found it in Mexico in the vicinity of Oaxaca. The 
pseudobulbs are exactly ovate, closely clustered, and about as 
large as a pigeon's egg. The flowers have à beautifully but 
delicately painted white lip, the gay effect of which is height- 
ened by the contrast with the dingy purple of the long narrow 
sepals and petals. Its nearest affinity is with Æ. papillosum 
and Æ. pastoris of Link and Otto, the E. Linkianum of 
Klotzsch. The flowers have no smell. 
123. SARCANTHÚS ozyphyllus. Wallich mss. 
This plant, which has been lately received from Calcutta 
by several persons, has flowered in the garden of the Horti- . 
cultural Society, and proves to be nothing more than a narrow- 
leaved variety of Sarcanthus rostratus, a species of no beauty, 
long since introduced by the Horticultural Society from China. 
124. SEDUM multicaule (Wall. mss.) ; caulibus plurimis erectis glabris ra- 
mosis apice 3-partitis, floribus secus ramulos sessilibus unilateralibus, 
foliis linearibus adnatis acuminatis apiculatis carnosis, sepalis 5 foliaceis 
petalis luteis longioribus, squamulis hypogynis retusis.
