Demerara.——Sepals and petals narrow, green, blotched 
with purple. Lip green or pink, with narrow delicate 
fibres arising from its margin. No doubt the supposed 
species quoted above are mere varieties of the same 
natural form.

41. LYCASTE crinita. 
L. crinita ; sepalis petalisque intus erinitis, labello intus villoso alte trilobo 
laciniis angustis obtusis intermedià ovali, appendice lineari adnato ; 
facie L. cruente. 
This plant is much like L. cruenta, and has flowers of 
nearly the same colour ; but it differs in being smaller, with 
the interior clothed with very long silky hairs, and in the 
very different form of the lobes of the lip; which is more- 
over destitute of the crimson stain that gives its name to 
L. cruenta. The appendage of the lip is moreover long and 
elevated, not very short and inconspicuous. We have received 
a specimen from Messrs. Loddiges. 
49. VANDA furva. 
V. furva (Lindl. Gen. & Sp. Orch. p. 215. V. Roxburghii unicolor, Hooker 
in Bot. Mag. t. 3416. Angrecum furvum, Rumph. Amb. 6. t. 46. f. ]. 
Epidendrum furvum, Linn. sp. pl. 1348. Cymbidium furvum, Willd. 
Sp. Pl. 4. 103.) ; caule alto, folis laxis membranaceis apice obliqué 
tridentatis, racemis lateralibus plurifloris, floribus distantibus, , sepalis 
etalisque oblongo-obovatis undulatis unicoloribus obtusis, labelli trilobi 
lobis lateralibus obtusis intermedio cuneato bilobo. 
I am indebted to Mr. Loddiges for suggesting that this is 
in all probability the Vanda furva about which there has been 
so much uncertainty. It certainly corresponds very closely
