A free-growing Epiphyte with the habit of E. vitellinum, 
but with more glaucous leaves. Its flowers are small, dirty 
green stained with brown, arranged in a very long lax grace- 
ful panicle, the branches of which are simple, and sometimes 
as much as a foot long, with nearly twenty flowers on each. 
The lip is whitish yellow. It has flowered in the garden of 
the Horticultural Society, from plants sent from Mexico by 
Mr. Hartweg. It was first found near Teoxomulco, in the 
province of Oaxaca, by Karwinski.

This is a fine plant from Guatemala, sent to the Horti- 
cultural Society by Mr. Hartweg. It has a stout stem about 
two feet high, narrow thick drooping leaves from five to eight 
inches long, and rich crimson flowers an inch in length, and 
unusually thick. It is in the way of G. allagophylla, but 
much handsomer. 
191. MORMODES buccinator. Botanical Register, 1840, misc. no. 9. 
Of this singular plant Messrs. Loddiges have obtained a 
variety from La Guayra, which, with all the form of the 
original, has the flowers dull orange spotted with brown. It 
is handsomer than the first sort, and looks at first sight some- 
thing like M. aromaticum. 
192. CENTROPOGON cordiyolius. Bentham Pl. Hartweg, p. 77. no. 539. 
A greenhouse plant from Guatemala, where it was found 
by Mr. Hartweg. It has fine broad heart-shaped light green 
shining leaves, and deep rose-coloured flowers, resembling 
those of Centropogon ( Lobelia) surinamensis. It has just 
flowered (Nov. 1841) in a cool stove in the garden of the 
Horticultural Society 
.
