high, and bears a great number of large tough apricot-coloured 
scales and bracts. The flowers, however, are a dull dirty 
brown, not at all pretty. This is the first of the Erias with 
large coloured bracts that we have seen; several exist in Java 
according to Dr. Blume. The species is near the Dendrolirium 
ornatum of that author, but the bracts are not red, nor revo- 
lute at the margin, the leaves are not strongly ribbed, nor 
are the lamellz of the lip at all the same. 
71. EPIDENDRUM (Lanium) microphyllim.: Lindley in Hooker’s Journal 
of Botany, 3. 85. 
A curious little plant, with small woolly dull purple 
flowers. It and another constitute a well marked section of 
this great genus, to which the name of Lanium has been ap- 
plied, in allusion to the singular circumstance of the flowers 
being woolly. Messrs. Loddiges flowered it the other day from 
Schomburgk’s Demerara collections, and I have since received 
it from Mr. Bateman, who obtained it from Berbice. 
72, CYRTOCHILUM filipes ; scapo longissimo simplici filiformi apice ipso 
paucifloro, sepalis petalisque lanceolatis conformibus acutis planis, labello 
cuneato bifido apice dilatato basi dente porrecto subsimplici subtuber- 
culato aucto, columne alis minimis cuneatis truncatis. 
A Cyrtochilum, with the yellow flowers of an Oncidium, 
imported from Guatemala by Mr. Bateman. It has a very 
slender stem, above two feet long, perfectly simple, on the 
extreme point of which are four or five flowers about the size 
of those of C. maculatum. 
73. BEGONIA incana ; caulescens, erecta, tomentoso-ineana, foliis coriaceis 
peltatis oblongis acutis subangulatis subtis albidis, pedunculo longis- 
simo, panicula parva contracta, floribus masculis tetrapetalis pubescenti- 
bus, foemineis .... . 
A striking species of this genus, with the aspect of Pepe- 
romia incana, imported from Mexico by John Rogers, .ssq, 
The flowers are white in a small contracted downy panicle. 
The males only have hitherto been seen. 
74, BEGONIA papillosa; caulescens, erecta, molliter pilosa, foliis semicor- 
datis pilosie caprs papillosis subtus dealbatis oblongis acuminatis ad 
culatis ; lobo baseos maximo rotundato, panicula ter dichotoma, caps 
pilose alis obtusis altera paulo majore.
