18. PIMELEA spectabilis. Lindley’s Swan River Plants, p. xli. no. 193. 
This, one of the very prettiest of greenhouse shrubs, has 
been raised in the garden of the Horticultural Society, from 
Swan River seeds. It has glaucous narrow leaves, arranged 
in four rows, and large heads of pink flowers, collected within 
broad floral leaves, richly stained and bordered with crimson. 
19. PHOLIDOTA undulata. Lindl. Gen. & Sp. Orch. p. 37. 
A native of the East Indies, whence it has been sent to 
Messrs. Loddiges by Dr. Wallich. It has ovate pseudo- 
bulbs tapering to the base; a pair of narrow leaves; and a 
drooping raceme of small pale dull reddish flowers. It pos- 
sesses little beauty. 
20. EPIDENDRUM gladiatum. Lindl. Gen. & Sp. Orch. p. 106. 
A Mexican species with green flowers like those of E. 
nutans, but not panicled, nor proceeding from a spathe, and 
smelling very like a sliced cucumber. Messrs, Loddiges 
have received it from Bolanos. Some of the old stems were 
three feet long. This is a much greater stature than has 
been before observed; for neither the specimens gathered by 
Mr. Hartweg at the Rancho del Ojo de Agua, nor those of 
Pavon inj Mr. Lambert’s herbarium are more than a foot 
high. The species belongs to the section AMPHIGLOTTIUM. 
21. LALIA albida. 
Mr. Barker has communicated a curious monster of this 
pretty plant, with the dorsal sepal united to the back of the 
column by means of a thin plate resembling a small knife- 
blade. What is very singular every flower of the specimen 
was in the same state. 
22. IMPATIENS rosea ; annua, caule pubescente, foliis lineari-oblongis 
serratis, pedunculis unifloris aggregatis axillaribus foliis quadrupld bre- 
vioribus, sepalo dorsali mucronato inermi, caleare brevi ventricoso 
apice constricto incurvo, petalorum biloborum lacinia nané rotundati 
majore oblonga dimidiata obtusd planiuscula. 
Another Indian species of this oriental genus, the seeds of 
which were presented to the Horticultural Society by the
