across, according to Mr. Skinner. It is in gardens, and 
has long white roots proceeding from the sides of the 
stem ; but it has not flowered.

— —-n this section of Amphiglottium are three species 
of great beauty, so nearly related to each other that their 
limits are. with difficulty determined. They all have 
bright scarlet or crimson flowers, a pair of tubercles at 
the base of the labellum, and a ridged line running from 
between the tubercles to nearly the apex of the lip. They 
however differ thus: E. radicans has the lateral lobes of 
the labellum rounded and toothletted only, not lacerated, 
and it produces coarse pale green roots from its stems ; 
E. cinnabarinum has the lateral lobes of the labellum 
deeply lacerated, while the central lobe is contracted in the 
middle, and then suddenly wedge-shaped, with its angles 
prolonged into one or two fine teeth; E. Schomburgküi 
has the lateral lobes only toothed, with the centre lobe 
gradually widened to the point, and there toothletted, 
without being at all truncate; the lobes of the lip are 
confluent in what I take to be a variety of that species.

scarlet. Leaves sometimes bordered with crimson. Very 
handsome. 1 have a dried specimen of what I suppose 
to be a variety of this plant, with all the lobes of the lip 
run together into one, a little toothed at the edge, and 
more so at the point. It may however be distinct.
