68. STENOCORYNE. 



With respect to the Bifrenaria (?) longicornis, formerly 

 described in this work, it must be regarded as still another 

 genus, agreeing with Bifrenaria in having two straps (caudi- 

 culae) to its pollen-masses, but differing in having two distinct 

 glands also, as is the case with a part of the plants now re- 

 ferred to Angraecum. For this I would propose the name of 

 Stenocoryne. ■ 



Stenocoryne. Flores ringentes, clausi, longe cornuti. Sepala basi lon- 

 gissime products, et connata. Petala conformia. Labellum longissime 

 unguiculatum, trilobum, disco callosum. Pollinia 4, per paria connata. 

 insequalia, semiglobosa ; caudiculis 2, glandulisque totidem ovalibus. 



Herbse epiphytse pseudobulbosse. Folia cartilaginea, solitaria. 



Flores racemosi, radicales. 



1. S. longicornis (Bifrenaria longicornis, Lindl. in Bot. Reg. 1838, misc. 

 177.); pseudobulbis elongatis tetragonis, foliis oblongo-lanceolatis sub- 

 plicatis nitidis, racemo laxo multifloro, sepalih lateralibus ovatis acutis, 

 petalis ovatis acutis, labello longe unguiculato spathulato apice trilobo 



laciniis rotunuatis medio pubescente disco elevato calloso. Demerara. 



Flowers racemose, orange, spotted with brown. 



69. LANTANA. 



In the Gartenzeitung for Oct. 1, 1842, is the following 

 useful enumeration of the species of this pretty genus, actually 

 in cultivation in the gardens of Germany. The authors are 

 Messrs. Otto and Dietrich.
