173. CIRRHOPETALUM maculosum ; floribus geminis solitariisque, sepalo 
supremo oblongo acuto lateralibus lineari-oblongis obtusis margine an- 
teriore pone basin uniplicato, petalis sepalo supremo brevioribus oblongis 
obtusis, labello ovato obtuso convexo apice recurvo, columna bidentata ? 
(polliniis 4 subeequalibus). 
This is an Indian species of Orchidaceous plant, sent to 
Messrs. Loddiges by Dr. Wallich (158), with the habit of 
Bollophyllum affine, or leopardinum, but with the long late- 
ral sepals of a Cirrhopetalum. It has the flower-stalks and 
flowers of a very pale green, finely speckled with dull purple. 
The lateral sepals are nearly an inch long, and have a single 
fold on their inner margin near the base. ‘The species has 
little beauty.

latis diphyllis, foliis angustis erectis membranaceis manifesté petiolo vagi- 
nante articulatis racemi cernui simplicis pedunculo brevioribus, sepalis 
liberis petalisque lanceolatis undulatis equalibus patentibus, labelli lobis 
lateralibus parvis subquadratis intermedio transverso apice inflexo vix 
emarginato, tuberculo oblongo basi.2-dentato apice obsoleté trilebo an~ 
ticé excavato, columne alis brevibus rotundatis. 
A fine species, imported from Mexico by Mr. Barker. 
It has very large flowers of a clear but pale yellow on the lip, 
and rich brown spotted sepals and petals. The lip is of 
unusual size, being more than one inch and a half across. It 
is readily known by its short leaves having a distinct arti- 
culation, with a sheathing petiole nearly an inch long. The 
raceme is simple, drooping, of five or six flowers, and altoge- 
ther a foot long. 
175. ONCIDIUM xebulosum ; pseudobulbis ovalibus ancipitibus nebulosi 
diphyllis utrinque 3-costatis, foliis angustis chartaceis panicula angusta 
brevioribus, sepalis liberis petalisque lanceolatis undulatis patentibus, 
labelli lobis lateralibus nanis rotundatis intermedio subrotundo bilobo, 
tuberculo sulcato tridentato utrinque unidentato, columnz elongatee alis 
acinaciformibus denticulatis. 
A fine species, with something the appearance of O. re- 
flexum, but readily known by its clouded pseudo-bulbs. The 
flowers are large, rather pale yellow, with faint spots of brown 
at the base of the lip and on the sepals and petals. It isa 
native of Guatemala, whence it has been sent to the Horticul- 
tural Society by Mr. Hartweg.
