floribus minimis geminis é squamis rhizomatis, sepalis clausis ovatis 
eequalibus in setam mollem productis, petalis ovalibus obtusis, labello 
angusté ovato obtuso levi, anthera 1-loculari, polliniis 2. 
A very curious, but inconspicuous little Orchidaceous 
plant from Sincapore, which has flowered with Messrs. Lod- 
diges. - It is a form of the genus Bolbophyllum, in which the 
pseudo-bulbs almost disappear, and the flowers are only just 
protruded from among thin withered scales, with which the 
rhizoma is covered. It appears to be allied to B. tortuosum, a 
plant however which I have never seen. ‘The minute flowers 
are very pale straw-colour, with the ends of the sepals 
lengthened into a soft yellow bristle. The leaves are hard, 
thick, and rounded at the back. ‘The whole habit of the 
plant is that of some creeping Fern, such as Marginaria 
(Polypodium) piloselloides. 
167. FUCHSIA radicans; (Miers in litt.) caule prostrato radicante, foliis 
ellipticis acuminatis denticulatis glabris basi cordatis, floribus axillari- 
bus geminis pendulis, alabastro subrhombeo quadrangulari, petalis cu- 
neatis tubo calycis vix longioribus, stigmate capitato, baccd subrotundo- 
oblonga. 
This curious plant is now in many gardens, having been 
liberally distributed by Mr. Miers, its discoverer in the woods 
of Brazil. It has a creeping stem, which roots like Ivy, and 
thus acquires a habit very unlike that of the other species. 
The flowers are very like those of F. macrostema, and in- 
cluding the stamens are 2} inches long. A full account and 
figure of this remarkable plant will presently be published 
in the Register. 
168. CATASETUM fuliginosum; C. tridentati vultu, sepalis petalisque ob- 
longis acutis reflexis, labello cucullato carnoso integerrimo V. minute 
serrulato patente, columna brevi ecirrhosa apice in setam producta, 
anthera parva (effceta ?). 
This singular plant has lately flowered at Sion, in the 
‘possession of His Grace the Duke of Northumberland. Its 
habit is quite that of C. tridentatum, but its flowers are in a 
dense erect raceme, and of a deep green colour, spotted with 
a dull blackish purple, so as to look as if they were soiled
