A caulescent species of little beauty. Its flowers are 
spotted with purple upon a yellowish white ground ; the lip 
is dark purple. Our specimen is from Messrs. Loddiges, 
who imported it from Oaxaca. We have also received it from 
Mr. Brocklehurst's garden at the Fence. 
10. TROCHETIA grandiflora. 
Bojer’s MSS. ? 
This is a very handsome stove shrub which was received, 
under the name it now bears, from the Mauritius in 1839, by 
His Grace the Duke of Northumberland. It has oblong dark 
green leaves covered over on the under side with brown 
hairy stars. The flowers are large, white, quite pendulous, 
and appear in threes. We regard it as a great acquisition. 
The name is probably one of M. Bojer's; for we do not find it 
in the most recent compilations of species. - A figure of it will 
soon appear in our pages. 
11. ONCIDIUM oblongatum. 
O. oblongatum ; facie et structurá O. reflexi; sed petalis oblongis obtusis 
apiculatis patulis planis, labello alt& bilobo, columnee alis rotundatis 
crenulatis dimidiatis, 
It is almost impossible to find words that will well dis- 
tinguish the Oncidiums allied to O. reflexum ; and yet they 
appear to merit distinction. This, which is from Messrs. 
Loddiges, has very much the appearance of O. Wentworthia- 
num, with the same clouded pseudo-bulbs and speckled 
flower-stem ; but its petals are perfectly flat, not at all reflexed 
or wavy, obtuse with a little point and clear yellow, with a 
few reddish brown bars near the base. It is a very hand-* 
some species, on account of its flowers having as much yellow 
E them, and being as large, as the best variety of O. sphacela- 
um.
