stalked flowers of the Omalocarpus section, and not unlike 
those of A. rivularis, but the anthers are yellow, and the 
ovaries tail-less and smooth. It isa hardy herbaceous plant, 
well worth cultivation. | 
60. EPIDENDRUM Hanburii. 
E. (Encyclium) Hanburii ; pseudobulbis ovatis, foliis ensiformibus coriaceis 
recurvis, floribus racemosis distantibus, sepalis petalisque spathulatis 
patentibus, labelli tripartiti lobis lateralibus falcatis obtusis nanis erectis 
intermedio oblongo bilobo venis elevatis dichotomis sulcato ungue obtusé 
bicarinato glabriusculo. 
A Mexican plant, with something the appearance of 
E. porphyreum, but far less handsome. The leaves are very 
coriaceous, shorter than the raceme, which is about two feet 
long. The sepals and petals are deep dull purple, the lip is 
pale rose, with crimson radiating veins. We owe it to 
R. Hanbury, Esq. of Stamford Hill,

Messrs. Loddiges have flowered this beautiful little thing, 
which rivals the Wana Rajah of Ceylon (Anectochilus 
setaceus) in the singular beauty of the foliage. The leaves 
are curiously veined, and appear as if covered with a film of 
silver, especially when they are turned so as to allow the light 
to strike them obliquely. The flowers are small, white, in a 
short spike, and have a -bar of blackish brown along the 
middle of each petal and sepal. It is a native of Brazil, 
where it has been found by several travellers. Martius met 
with it on the hills of Botofogo near Rio Janeiro, growing. 
among decayed leaves. 
62. DENDROBIUM. 
When we some time since succeeded in breaking up the 
old genus Maxillaria, we had hoped to find some means of 
performing the same good office for Dendrobium (the Maxil- 
laria of the East), which, as at present limited, is composed 
of species exceedingly different from each other in general 
appearance. We must confess, however, that up to the
