Cuba.——A very slender species with narrow grassy 
leaves, pale rosy flowers, and a distinct entire point to 
the middle lobe of the lip. The tubercle is very pecu- 
liar, not fleshy as in the allied species, but consisting of 
a pair of plates converging just below the apex, and 
another pair of more fleshy calli near the base. 
\| || Zip with a distinct middle elevated ridge, and two calli 
at the base. —

acuminatis, labelli quadrilobi laciniis »qualibus lineari- 
bus apice multifidis lineä mediä elevatä callisque duobus 
semiliberis arcuatis ad basin. La Guayra. This 
plant was received by Mr. Barker from Linden. It is 
closely allied to E. elongatum ; but differs in the struc- 
ture of the labellum, which approaches nearer to that of 
` E. Sehomburgkii. The sepals and lip are a rich rose 
colour; the column has the deepest tint of the garnet, 
which gives the flowers a very gay appearance. 
19. E. imatophyllum (L. no. 52.); foliis distichis ligulatis 
obtusis subemarginatis, caule simplici apice aphyllo vagi- 
nato, sepalis lineari-lanceolatis patentibus, petalis duplo 
latioribus serratis, labelli trilobi carinati basi bicornis lobis 
lateralibus nanis laciniatis: intermedio cuneato-rotun- 
datosubundulato basi serrato. — — Demerara.—— Flowers 
pale rose colour, larger than in E. ellipticum. Leaves 
very long, strap-shaped. The column is sometimes 
green, and the same colour occurs to a small extent in 
the sepals. 
20. E. radicans (Pavon. Mss. L. no. 35. E. rhizophorum, 
Bateman in Bot. Reg. 1838. misc. 10.); foliis distichis 
subcordatis ovatis obtusis, caule simplici apice aphyllo 
vaginato, sepalis petalisque lanceolatis acutis patentibus, 
labelli carinati basi bicallosi lobis lateralibus rotundatis 
denticulatis intermedio cuneato apice fimbriato emar- 
ginato utrinque integro. — — Mexico, Guatemala.—-—One 
of the finest of its race ; with flowers as much as 14 inch
