tundatä apiculatà carnosä lateralibus triangularibus acutis

North of India.—— The stems grow nearly upright, and 
are rather short, fusiform and furrowed when old. "The 
flowers are a little smaller than those of Maxillaria stape- 
lioides, and like them in form; their colour is dull 
yellow, spotted and streaked with purple. In the only 
specimen I have ever seen the flowers grew in fours, on 
a very short peduncle, closely covered with ovate concave 
bracts, speckled with purple. The excavation of the 
face of the column, and its division into two cells are 
remarkable.

Brisbane River, New Holland.——This plant has erect 
stems about a foot and a half high, at the end of which 
grow about four lanceolate leaves, from the midst of 
which springs a raceme of yellowish flowers spotted 
with red. ‘They seem unwilling or unable to expand.

Ceylon.——Bracts large, oblong, petaloid, veiny, two- 
coloured, green at the point, brownish red at the base. 
Flowers nearly white. This is scarcely known except 
from a drawing, and I am by no means sure that it is 
not an Eria.

regularly jointed stems, 5 or 6 inches high, small narrow 
leaves and flowers with green sepals and white petals. I 
only know it from a Chinese drawing in the possession of 
the Horticultural Society.
