Ehrenberg in Mexico in the year 1838. The name however 
will have to be changed, as it is the same as Lobelia subnuda 
of Bentham's Plante Hartwegians, no. 336. 
212. OLINIA Capensis. Link, Klotzsch, & Otto, ic. t. 3. 
A new Cape shrub, belonging to the Myrtaceous order, 
with oval stalked bright green leaves, and dense terminal 
clusters of greenish flowers succeeded by bright reddish ber- 
ries. It belongs to a set of Myrtles whose stems are definite, 
leaves destitute of transparent dots, a large connective to the 
anthers, and a spiral embryo. It is a greenhouse shrub, 
flowering from April to the end of June, and ripening its 
fruit the second year: so that the bush has at the same time 
flowers, green fruit, and ripe red fruit. 
213. OXALIS Offonis. Link, Klotzsch, & Otto, ic. t. 4. 
A Chilian species, sent to Berlin from Mr. Cameron of 
Birmingham. It has bright yellow flowers, and leaflets so 
deeply divided that each stalk seems as if it bore six leaflets 
instead of three. 
214. MICROSTYLIS histionantha ; (Link, Klotzsch, & Otto, ic. t. 5.) pseu- 
dobulbis elongato-ovatis diphyllis, foliis membranaceis latè ovatis. acutis 
undulatis nitidis basi attenuato-vaginantibus apice recurvatis, scapo 
6-8-angulato, floribus zereo-olivaceis depresso-corymbosis, sepalis reflexis 
anticis connatis, petalis filiformibus circinatis, labello oblongo-orbiculari 
integerrimo obtuso. 
A plant found in La Guayra by Moritz, and sent to the 
Berlin Garden in 1836. It has small green flowers, at the 
end of a scape a foot and half high, and arranged in a de- 
pressed corymb. The leaves are large, thin, and green. - It 
is a stove plant, and is apparently the same as Malaxis 
Parthoni, Morren in Bullet. acad. Bruxell. 5. 486. with a 
figure, a native of Brazil, from which however Dr. Klotzsch 
thinks it may be distinguished. 
215. ONCIDIUM carthaginense. Link, Klotzsch, & Otto, ic. t. 6. 
This is one of the many varieties that now abound in our 
gardens, concerning whose limits as species it is difficult to 
arrive at any positive conclusion. It is certainly not distinct 
from O. sanguineum, which however may itself be a variety 
of O. carthaginense.
