scarcely at all verging upon blue, and having a broad white margin," 
I presume he must have had in view some variety, perhaps the pink one, 
of this. 
5. Z. stenochilum (Lodd. Bot. Cab. t. 1923.) ; foliis latioribus racemo sequa- 
libus v. longioribus, sepalis oblongis acuminatis, petalis brevioribus 
dupló angustioribus, labello angusto oblongo obtuso villoso, callo emar- 
ginato. Brazil. Of this very distinct species the sepals are 
blotched, and somewhat striped with brown. The lip is white, with 
blue or violet veins in the middle only. Its small petals and very narrow 
lip readily indicate it. 
6. Z. mazillare (Lodd. Bot. Cab. t. 1776. L.no.2. Bot. Mag. t. 3686.) ; 
foliis lineari-lanceolatis undulatis acuminatis racemo flexuoso longiori- 
bus, sepalis petalisque ovato-oblongis acutis, labello glabro obovato, 
cristá unguliformi maximä crenatä. Brazil.——Sepals and petals 
green, with blotches and broken bands of chocolate brown. Lip violet, 
with a deep blue bridge. According to Mr. Gardner this species always 
occurs on Tree-ferns. 
7. 2. Murrayanum (Hooker in Bot. Mag. t. 3674.) ; pseudobulbis ovatis pro- 
funde sulcatis, racemis foliis brevioribus, sepalis petalisque ovato-lanceo- 
latis, labelli 3-lobi lobis lateralibus ovatis erectis intermedio ovato- 
lanceolato reflexo glabro, callo integro sulcato. — Brazil. À species 
of little beauty. "The sepals and petals are pale green and unspotted. 
The lip is white, with some dark claret-coloured spots at the base. It 
was found on the Organ Mountains, **at the height of about 4000 feet 
above the sea." 
8. Z. gramineum; folis lineari-lanceolatis, scapo subunifloro capillari brevi 
ascendente, vaginulis laxis uná in medio duabus sub pedicello, labello 
subrotundo fimbriato tenui supra basin appendicibus 2 ovato-lanceatis 
acutis aucto. Flores 3 Z. Murrayani magnitudine, magis membranacei. 
Scapus 2-pollicaris. Folia spithamea.— Popayan; in woods rare: 
——tThis is much smaller than the other species, and is the only one 
yet found west of the Andes. It is not in cultivation. 
9. Z. cochleare (Lindl. in Bot. Reg. t. 1857.) ; foliis obovato-oblongis pe- 
dunculis unifloris multd longioribus, sepalis petalisque ovato-lanceolatis 
conniventibus inferioribus multó majoribus, labello cochleato subrotundo 
bilobo velutino, cristá arcuatà erenatä, antherä ecristatà.— - Trinidad. 
—— Leaves unusually broad in this genus. Flowers pure white, except 
the lip, which is of a rich lapis lazuli blue, and very fragrant. Remark- 
able in this genus for its solitary flowers. 
10. Z. rostratum (Hooker in Bot. Mag. t. 2819.) ; foliis lato-lanceolatis 
patentibus scapo paucifloro longioribus, sepalis petalisque lineari-lanceo- 
latis undulatis acuminatis, labello subrotundo-ovato, callo baseos lunato 
crenato, columnä apice cucullatä dentatá, antherá rostratä. Deme- 
rara. The broad short leaves of this plant readily distinguish it. 
The sepals and petals are greenish, dashed with purple, but not at all 
blotched. The lip is white, with a violet crest, and a few pink radiating 
lines. - It has no scent.
