have been raised by Mr. W. B. Page, Nurseryman, Southamp- 
ton. It has large clusters of deep purple flowers, and will 
appear in an early number of this work. It flowered with 
Mr. Page in August. 
182. CATASETUM (Myanthus) cornutum ; petalis maculatis lineari-lanceo- 
latis sepalo dorsali conformi suppositis, labello subcordato-ovato basin 
versus saccato supra saccum cornu valido inflexo instructo processibus 
teretibus rigidisifimbriato basi dentato, columne acuminate cirrhis cornu 
labelli attingentibus. 
A native of Demerara, with the habit of Catasetum bar- 
batum, formerly Myanthus. There are sixteen or more 
flowers in a raceme, of a dull green, richly spotted with deep 
blackish purple. The lip is light green, spotted with the 
same dark colour; above the base it is hollowed out ; above 
the hollow it is furnished with a strong inflexed white horn, 
which rises from a somewhat rugged base; and the margin 
is broken up into slender stiff processes, which are evidently 
an incomplete state of the fringes found on the lip of Cata- 
setum cristatum, barbatum, &c. Communicated by Messrs. 
Loddiges, (no. 544). 
183. CATASETUM callosum ; petalis concoloribus lineari-lanceolatis sepalo 
dorsali conformi suppositis, labello ovato-oblongo obtuso basin versus 
saccato supra saccum callo magno (aurantiaco) instructo margine obso- 
leté crenato, columnee acuminate cirrhis vix ultra callum extensis. 
In habit this plant is exactly like Catasetum tridentatum, 
var. floribundum, but its flowers are quite different. The 
sepals and petals are of a dull reddish brown, without spots ; 
the column is of the same colour, which may perhaps be best 
compared to that of old spoiled port wine. ‘The lip is green, 
flat, with a yellow tubercle near the base above the hollow, 
and a stain of the same colour near the apex. It was im- 
ported by Messrs. Loddiges from La Guayra, (no. 553). 
184, MYCARANTHES obliqua ; foliis lato-linearibus carnosis canaliculatis 
apice obliguê emarginatis scapo brevioribus, sepalis lateralibus carinatis, 
labelli cuneati 5-lobi callo apicali majore axi pube densá decidua farinam 
referente vestità. 
A fleshy-leaved plant from Sincapore, with very small 
white flowers, covered slightly with rusty down. It was im- 
ported by Mr. Cuming, and flowered with Messrs. Loddiges, 
(no. 121).
