We some time since announced the appearance in this 
country of a new species of the long lost genus Anguloa, con- 
cerning which so many mistakes have been made. We are 
now able, hy the kindness of Mr. Barker of Birmingham, to 
publish the very Anguloa uniflora itself, which he was so for- 
tunate as to flower in Aprillast. We believe he received it 
among Linden's collection in Columbia; according to Ruiz 
and Pavon it is found in precipitous places about Muna and 
Chincao in Peru, and profusely in the woods of Tarma, where 
it is called Carpales. 
It is a sweet-scented plant, with large white flowers 
slightly tinged with yellow, and the whole habit of a Lycaste, 
* Dedicated to Don Francisco de Angulo, director-general of the mines 
(of Peru), and greatly attached to Botanical pursuits, (Ruiz $ Pavon.)
