ceived by the Horticultural Society from Mr. Hartweg, who 
transmitted no specimens, but who calls it “a very fine shrub 
near jS. ariefolia.” It is a handsome looking plant, with 
very angular downy branches, ovate, incised smooth leaves, 
wedge-shaped at the base, with the lateral incisions usually 
split into a pair of unequal very sharp teeth. There are no 
stipules. It is quite distinct from any previously discovered. 
171. BOLBOPHYLLUM limbatum ; pseudobulbis ampullaceis depressis, fo- 
lis . . » Tacemo cylindraceo multifloro longè pedunculato, squamis 
pedunculi sursum nudi duabus distantibus parvis vaginantibus, brac- 
teis minimis, sepalis ovatis obtusis ciliatis, petalis multo brevioribus 
obovatis margine superiore villoso, labello ovato crasso obtuso petalis 
longiore basi bidentato : disco levi nitido limbo scabritie minutá opacato. 
The-flowers of this plant are deep dull purple, in a rather 
loose raceme. The sepals and petals are both fringed with 
whitish hairs. The labellum is remarkable for being polished 
in the middle, and surrounded by a broad belt of minute points, 
which give it an opaque shagreen appearance. Like most of 
the genus it is a plant of little beauty. Messrs. Loddiges 
received it from Sincapore. 
172. DENDROBIUM (Desmotrichum) longicolle ; pseudobulbo compresso 
in collum longissimum extenso, folio oblongo concavo, flore solitario, 
ovario filiformi c. pedicello articulato, sepalis petalisque patentibus a 
latá basi in acumen lineare attenuatis, cornu brevi conico, labello trilobo : 
lobis lateralibus nanis margine anteriore crispis intermedio apice ovato 
plicato crispatoque sublobato, lamellis 2 crispis conniventibus per axin. 
A singular Dendrobium, belonging to the same section as 
D. amplum, which is remarkable for combining the habit of 
Bolbophyllum with the entire structure of the former genus. 
‘The neck of the pseudo-bulb is nearly eight inches long ; the 
leaf five inches; the ovary two inches and a half. The flower 
is pale straw colour, with the ends of the sepals and petals 
tapering into a fine purple point. Sent to Messrs. Loddiges 
from Sincapore by Mr. Cuming. 
173. CIRRHOPETALUM vaginatum. Lindl. Gen. § Sp. orch. p. 59. 
Messrs. Loddiges have received this plant from Mr. 
Cuming, who collected it at Sincapore. It has the pale 
straw-coloured flowers in heads, with their anterior sepals 
prolonged into a fine thread nearly two inches long. The 
pseudo-bulbs are in the form of a truncated pyramid; the 
leaves coriaceous and emarginate.
