16. L^LIA albida. 



A beautiful variety of this, with a violet lip, painted at 

 the base with purple veins, has flowered with Mrs. Lawrence 

 at Ealing Park. 



17. TRICHOCENTRUM recurvum. 



T. recurvum ; bracteis distichis cucullatis ovatis acutis, sepalis petalisque 

 ovatjs acutis, labello oblongo basi purpureo bidentato, calcare recurvo 

 ovarii longitudine, columnse alis cuneatis denticulatis, anthera pubescente. 



A Guayana plant, imported by Messrs. Loddiges. It 

 resembles Tr. fuscum in habit, but is smaller. The lip is 

 white, with a deep purple spot at its base; afterwards it 

 changes to pure yellow. The spur is long, and curved back- 

 wards and upwards, so as to arch over the back of the flower. 



18. TRICHOCENTRUM candidum. 



T. candidum ; bracteis ovatis acutis, sepalis petalisque ovatis acutis, labello 

 oblongo emarginato basi obsolete bidentato ecalcarato gibboso, columnar 

 alis ovatis acutis, anthera villosa. 



A little Guatemala plant, with white flowers, slightly 

 tinged with yellow. It is remarkable for the want of a spur, 

 whose place is supplied by a short projection. 



19. ODONTOGLOSSUM Rossii. 

 Lindley in Bot. Reg. 1839- t 48. 



A pretty variety of this charming plant has flowered with 

 Mr. Barker. It has narrower and darker coloured sepals, 

 smaller flowers, and the callus at the base of the lip white, not 

 yellow. It seems almost intermediate between O. Rossii and 

 O. stellatum ; especially as the lip is rather more ovate than 

 in the former species.

E (Spathivm) rubrocinctum; panicula ampia c ^ » e P^n«" 



longis concavis acutis coriaceis, petalis anguste uneanbus, labello trans- 

 verio cordato trilobo supra tricarinato; lobi medn tnlobi dente inter-
