118. LONICERA diversifolia. 

 Wall. cat. herb. ind. no. 477* 



L. diversifolia ; pubescens, erecta, foliis ovatis acutis, floribus geminis sessi- 

 libus axillaribus, corollse lobo inferiore lineari recurvo superiore cordato 

 convexo apice truncato tridentato. 



A hardy shrub, raised in the Garden of the Horticultural 

 Society from seeds presented by the Honourable Court of 

 Directors of the East India Company. It is in the way of 

 Lonicera Xylosteum, the common Fly Honeysuckle, and has 

 bright yellow sessile flowers appearing in June. 



119. EPIDENDRUM dichrSmum. 



E. (Encyclium) dic.hromum ; pseudobulbis ovato-fusiformibus diphyllis, foliis 

 ligulatis planis apice rotundatis racemo laxo paucifloro brevioribus, 

 sepalis lineari-lanceolatis, petalis obovato-lanceolatis latioribus, labelli 

 trilobi lobo medio obcordato cum mucrone pluries costato lateralibus 

 dupl6 brevioribus rotundatis apice patulis, columna apice biaurita. 



A specimen of this plant was exhibited to the Horticul- 

 tural Society on the 3rd Oct. by Mr. Quesnel of Havre, who 

 stated that it came to him from Pernambuco. Unfortunately 

 its colours were much changed, and it was in such a bad state ' 

 that no positive opinion could be formed of it except that it is 

 new. If, as we are informed, it had, when fresh, pure white 

 sepals and petals, and a rich rose-coloured labellum, it must 

 be handsome ; but when we saw it, the flowers were of a dirty 

 yellow. They are a little larger than those of Epidendrum 

 bifidum, to which indeed the species nearly approaches ; but 

 its flowers do not seem to be panicled, the labellum wants the 

 two appendages found in that species, the column has two 

 large ears, and the latter organ is perfectly free from the 

 labellum.
