L. peduncularis ; pseudobulbis subrotundis compressis linea utrinque elevata, 

 foliis oblongis obtusis scapo tereti vaginato brevionbus, corymbo 4-floro, 

 bracteis pedunculo pluries brevioribus, sepalis lineanbus obtusis pedun-

A Mexican species of great beauty, with the habit ^ of 

 L. rubescens (Bot. Reg. 1840, t. 4i; " ' L . , 7 

 whole coloured flowers. The peduncles are If men long, 

 and the flowers themselves are nearly of the same length 

 when closed. The species is very near both L. rubescens 

 and L. acuminata (Bot. Reg. 1841. t. 24), but the flowers 

 are much larger, the flower-stalks much longer in proportion, 

 and the labellum quite round at the point and flat. 1 he 

 pseudobulbs are not at all tetragonous but are compressed, 

 with only a slight line in the room of the intermediate angle. 

 For specimens I am indebted to Geo. Barker, Esq. of Bir- 

 mingham. Probably it is the same as a supposed variety of 

 L. acuminata, mentioned at t. 24 for 1841.
