62. EPIDENDRUM (Hormidium) miserum; caulibus ovalibus exuviatis com- 
pressis aggregatis, follis..... » Scapo brevissimo subbifloro, spatha 
bivalvi pedunculis subsequali membranaced, sepalis ovatis acutis, petalis 
linearibus, labelli trilobi lobis lateralibus rotundatis inconspicuis inter~ 
medio truneato emarginato, callis nullis. 
A miserable little epiphyte, whose stems, resembling 
pseudo-bulbs, are about half-an-inch high from the ground 
on which they grow. The scape, peduncles, and ovaries, 
taken together, are about the same length. The flowers 
are a dull, dingy, greenish-brown, not unlike those of E. 
musciferum. Messrs. Loddiges imported it from Oaxaca. 
63. EPIDENDRUM Jeiotulbon. Hooker’s Journal of Botany, vol. iii. t. 10, 
is a small specimen of Epidendrum varicosum. 
64. PLEUROTHALLIS peduncularis. Hooker's Journal of Bot. vol. iii. t. 9, 
is Pl. aphthosa. 
65. BOLBOPHYLLUM imbricatum ; scapo erecto distantér obtusé vaginato, 
spica fusiformi subtetragona vix compressa, bracteis ovatis obtusis im- 
bricatis demum marcescentibus, alabastro cornuto pubescente, sepalo 
supremo lineari lateralibus ovalibus brevioribus, petalis filiformibus hir- 
sutis, labello ovato basi pectinato. 
This singular plant has been obtained by Messrs. Loddiges | 
from Sierra Leone (171). It approaches closely to the Mau- 
ritian B. occultum, and with it and some others forms an 
analogy with Megaclinium. The flower-stem is a foot high, 
stout, and nearly erect; the flowers are deep dull purple. 
Like many others of the genus, the spiral vessels are extremely 
strong and tough in the sepals and petals, and, which is very 
remarkable, they are of a rich purple colour. I am not at 
present acquainted with any similar case, for in general 
the spiral thread of the trachex is peculiarly colourless and 
silvery. 
66. CHOROZEMA (Euchorozema) spectabile ; foliis oblongis angustis mu- 
cronulatis subtus glabriusculis, racemis terminalibus multifloris laxis, 
calycibus semiquadrifidis ; laciniis tubo longioribus. 
This a charming Swan River climber, of small size, admi- 
rably adapted for covering a small trellis in a garden-pot. Its
