burgkii. The species in its natural state is most beautiful j 

 a specimen before me from Mr. Hartweg, bears a many- 

 flowered panicle, loaded with close-set nodding racemes. In 

 consequence of having examined an imperfect specimen from 

 Messrs. Loddiges, I lately committed the error of regarding 

 this as a new species, which I named Ep. bisetum. The latter 

 name has therefore to be cancelled.

3. ERIA profusa. 



E. profusa (Lanatse); pseudobulbis ovalibus apice diphyllis, foliis oblongis 

 striatis racemis pubescentibus multifloris brevioribus, bracteis squamaj- 

 formibus pedicellis brevioribus, sepalis tomentosis, petalis lineari-ob~ 

 longis obtusis, labello trilobo laciniis lateralibus erectis leeyibus inter- 

 media subrotunda rugosa apice tuberculo solitario oblongo cristata. 



A species from Ceylon, where it was found by Mr. 

 Nightingale, who sent it to his Grace the Duke of Northum- 

 berland, in whose garden at Syon it flowered in Nov. 1841. 

 The flowers appear in numerous racemes, nearly a foot long, 

 and are soft with brown down. The labellum is bright light 



reen. I perceived no smell in the specimens I examined 

 t is a species of little beauty.

4. SACCOLABIUM ochraceum. 



S. ochraceum ; foliis distichis coriaceis apice obliqu& bilobis, racemis subra- 

 i mosis, sepalis petalisque linearibus obtusis carnosis (luteis rubro-fasci-

obtuso. 



A native of Ceylon, whence it was sent by the late Sir 

 Wilmot Horton to Messrs. Loddiges. It has much the 

 appearance of Cleisostoma maculosum, but it is a true Sac- 

 colabium. The flowers are small, of an ochrey yellow colour, 

 marked with transverse broken bands of dull red.
