to be yery common, has been obtained by the Horticultural 
Society from seeds presented by the Honourable Court of Di- 
rectors of the East India Company. It is a perennial with 
deep green fleshy leaves and pretty starry yellow flowers, and 
if hardy, as appears probable, will make an excellent plant for 
rockwork. The branches are about a foot or more long, but 
in consequence of their spreading habit they do not appear 
more than 6 or 9 inches high even in rich soil. 
125. STANHOPEA graveolens ; petalis ovato-lanceolatis undulatis basi car- 
nosis, labelli hypochilio sub-compresso saccato intus glaberrimo antice bi- 
dentato et inter dentes profundé sulcato, metachilii cornubus acuminatis- 
. simis incurvis, epichilio subrotundo-ovato integerrimo, columne apice 
truncato-bilobe alis latissimis subquadratis. 
This is a noble species with the habit and general appear- 
ance of S. saccata, but far handsomer. The sepals and petals 
are of the most delicate straw colour ; the lip at the base, and 
the central parts of the flower generally, are of a deep rich 
apricot yellow, while the horns and upper end of the lip are 
like ivory turning yellow. It differs from S. saccata in its 
hypochilium being much deeper from front to back, the petals 
smaller, the epichilium entire, and the column much more 
broadly winged. It was purchased from Mr. Tate who im- 
orted it from Peru, by the Hon. and Rev. W. Herbert, who 
informs me that its leaves are 4 inches wide, and 17 inches 
long besides the petiole, which is 23 inches long, acute with 
seven strong ribs. Its odour is so powerful that it communi- 
cates itself to the fingers after touching the flowers, and like 
many other smells, though agreeable in itself, is offensive from 
its intensity.

'floribus solitariis ter-

A native of Sincapore, where it was originally found by 
Mr. Prince, who communicated it to Dr. Wallich with a rude 
drawing, upon which it was admitted by me into the Genera 
and Species of Orchidaceous plants as synonymous with the 
A. indivisum of Dr. Blume. It having lately been brought 
home from the same place in a living state by Mr. Cuming, 
under the name of * Lion's mouth," and Messrs. Loddiges 
I am now able to state that 
having sent it to me in flower,
