rente. ——Brazil.——Very near E. elongatum, from 
which it differs in its elliptical blunt succulent leaves, 
small middle segment of the labellum, paler flowers, and 
especially in the form of the tubercle, which is deeply 
furrowed, or plaited, and shoulders off to the lateral lobes 
of the lip, and is not furnished there with a free tubercle 
as in E. elongatum. Flowers light rose colour.

L. nó. 53.); foliis distichis oblongis obtusis carnosis, 
caule simplici apice aphyllo nunc ramoso, sepalis sub- 
oblongis acutis patentibus, petalis conformibus pauló 
minoribus, labelli trilobi lobo intermedio obcordato cre- 
nulato-fimbriato lateralibus fimbriatis ovatis dimidiatis 
apice rotundatis, callo concavo carnoso trilobo apiculato. 
— — Peru. A very fine species, with orange-coloured 
flowers. The leaves are an inch and a quarter broad, 
and the stems as thick as a swan's quill, and apparently 
often branched. When old they become as smooth as 
bamboo. (Not in cultivation.) | 
E. cochlidium (Lindl. in Ann. Nat. Hist. vol. 4.); foliis

maximo excavato trilobo parüm  majoribus.—— Peru. 
— — Only known from a-specimen found by Mathews in 
Peru. The flowers seem to be yellow. ‘The very large 
tubercle which covers the whole centre of the lip is very 
remarkable. (Not in cultivation.)

basin. Peru. —— A very fine species with yellowish ? 
flowers, which are perhaps the largest of any in this 
section. Mathews found it in Peru, and it is no. 1024 
of his collections. The unlobed tubercle, with a pair of 
calli near its base, affords a good mark of distinction.
