 in the stove at Spofforth in March. Mr. Skinner found them 

 in a part of Guatemala little visited."

60. EPIDENDRUM lamellatum. 



• Westcott mss. 



E. lamellatum ; (§ Euepidendrum) eaule erecto articulato ; foliis lanceolatis 

 emarginatis glabris subcarnosis, corymbo sessili paucifloro, sepalis lan- 

 ceolatis ac litis, petalis obovato-lanceolatis, columna apice alata, labello 

 obovato integerrimo vel obscure emarginato basi lamellato. 



M Stem about a foot high, articulated, and much resem- 

 bling that of Dendrobium. The sepals and the petals are of 

 a delicate pink colour. The column is very short, not more 

 than two lines long, and having appendages at the apex as 

 long as the column. The labellum is united to the column 

 the whole length, and is entirely undivided or very slightly 

 notched at the end. The appendages at the apex of the 

 column are of a darker pink colour, and the labellum is still 

 darker and more brilliant, having the disc covered with a row 

 of scaly yellowish plates." 



For the above memorandum we are indebted to Mr. West- 

 cott, who first named the plant in Mr. Barker's collection, 

 where its origin was unknown. It has been subsequently 

 communicated by Sir Charles Lemon, to whom it had been 

 sent from Honduras. It is a pretty species, with flowers 

 about the size of E. Schomburgkii.

Mr. Plant's " Mule Anisanth," figured in this work at 

 fol. 53 (1842), calls attention to this, which was its female 

 parent. G. Cunonius, and splendens, and Plant's hybrid
