This plant has flowered with Messrs. Loddiges. It proves 
to have erect stems about a foot and a half high, at the end 
of which grow about four lanceolate leaves, from the midst of 
which springs a raceme of yellowish flowers spotted with red. 
If they would but open, the species would be rather pretty, 
but they seem unwilling or unable to expand. 
54. CCRLOGYNE cristata. Gen. & Species of Orchidaceous Plants, p. 39. 
A most beautiful species, fragrant, free-flowering, and 
having large blossoms of the purest white, except the lip, 
which in its centre is decorated with bright yellow fringes and 
plates. It has recently flowered with George Barker, Esq. 
of Birmingham, and was exhibited at the last meeting of the 
Horticultural Society in Regent Street, where it gained 2 
Knightian medal. 
55. OXALIS fruticosa. DeCand. prodr. 1. 690. 
In this country we know little of the shrubby species of 
Woodsorrel found in South America, where there are many 
of very singular appearance. In the collection of His Grace 
the Duke of Northumberland one has lately flowered, which 
proved to be the QO. fruticosa of Raddi, mentioned in De 
Candolle’s Prodromus. It is exceedingly remarkable in hav- 
ing the office of leaves performed by the leafstalks, which, for 
this purpose, become thin, broad, and lance-shaped, while the 
leaflets either drop off or only occur upon the leafstalks here 
and there. It has small, deep yellow, axillary flowers. It 
had been sent to Syon from Rio Janeiro by Captain Herbert. 
56. ONCIDIUM longifolium ; (Cebolletze) foliis teretibus longissimis diffusis, 
scapo erecto densé paniculato, sepalis petalisque apiculatis obtusis con- 
cavis, labelli lobis lateralibus obliqué ovatis intermedio obovato bifido 
minoribus, tuberculo basi depresso anticé tricorni glabro, columnee alis 
brevibus rotundatis. 
Although this fine species has the foliage of O. Cebolleta, 
it is really very different, forming dense panicles, three feet 
long, of very large and showy yellow and brown flowers. Its 
leaves are often three feet long, and hang down or spread 
upon the ground instead of standing stiff and erect, as in the 
allied species, several of which are as yet but little known.
