114. ERIA polyura (Tonse) ; caule elongato folioso, foliis lanceolatis acutis 
patentibus striatis, spicis oppositifoliis multifloris nutantibus foliis eequa- 
libus v. brevioribus, bracteis ovario duplo brevioribus adpressis, sepalis 
petalisque ovatis acutis erectis levibus, labello cordato ovato acuto basi 
bicarinato. 
A Manilla Orchidaceous plant, found by Mr. Cuming, 
and sent to Messrs. Loddiges; it is not a species with bril- 
liant colours, for the flowers are small and white, except a 
deep crimson lip; it is however a graceful plant, in conse- 
quence of every leaf producing a long drooping spike, from 
the opposite side of the stem. Itis very near Eria multiflora 
and micrantha. 
115. SACCOLABIUM Blumei; foliis longis canaliculatis arcuatis acutis 
mucronatis racemis pendulis densifloris obtusis eequalibus, sepalis ovatis, 
petalis oblongis duplo angustioribus, labelli caleare compresso obtusius- 
culo intis pubescente lamina oblonga emarginata utrinque costata. 
A most beautiful species obtained from Java by Messrs. 
Loddiges, and in all probability the Rhynchostyles retusa of 
Blume. It is very near Saccolabium guttatum, but the 
racemes are shorter and thicker,. the leaves are acute not 
unequally truncate, and the flowers are very differently 
painted ; each sepal and petal has a bright streak of violet 
below the apex, and the lip is deeply stained with the same 
colour except the tip which is white. A figure has been pre- 
pared for the Sertum Orchidaceum. 
116. AERIDES Brookeii ; foliis distichis obliqué obtusis racemis nutanti- 
bus multifloris duplo brevioribus, sepalis ovatis sub-acutis petalis ovalibus 
acutis duplo latioribus, labelli maximi laciniis lateralibus erectis acutius- 
culis, intermedia 6-plo majore obsolete triloba rotundata deflexa, cal- 
care cornuto incurvo. Bateman in litt. 
- This most beautiful species has lately flowered in the 
collection of Sir Richard Brooke, Bart. of Norton Priory, 
after whom I have ventured to name it. In the magnitude 
of its blossoms it infinitely surpasses any other species with 
which I am acquainted, the lip alone being upwards of 
an inch long, beautifully tipped with rose-colour. The 
other parts of the flower are of a brilliant white. In 
the form of the labellum the species slightly resembles
