65. CESTRUM aurantiacum. 
C. aurantiacum; glabrum, foliis petiolatis ovalibus acutis undulatis, floribus 
sessilibus spicatis, bracteis deciduis, calyce lucido 5-costato 5d-entato, 
corollá glabrá infundibulari limbo reflexo, filamentis basi pubescentibus 
denticulo auctis. 
This beautiful shrub rivals Jacquinia aurantiaca in colour. 
It has smooth, wavy, light green leaves, and spikes of glow- 
ing orange-coloured flowers, a full inch long. The Horticul- 
tural Society raised it from Guatemala seeds communicated 
by G. U. Skinner, Esq., and it has lately flowered in the 
Chiswick Gardens. Its native place is said to be Chimalapa. 
It will form a most beautiful greenhouse shrub, and as its 
habit is good, while its flowers do not easily drop off, it will 
doubtless become a favourite with exhibitors. 
66. MAXILLARIA scabrilinguis. 
M. scabrilinguis (Cyrtopera scabrilinguis, Lindl. Gen. & Sp. no. 3.) ; pseudo- 
bulbis ovatis elongatis sulcatis, foliis basi angustatis scapo erecto multi- 
floro longioribus, bracteis acutissimis ovario brevioribus, sepalis petalisque 
lineari-oblongis acutis lateralibus falcatis, labelli trilobi lobis lateralibus 
rotundatis intermedio ovato carnosissimo subtereti obtuso longiore: 
utráque facie papillis densissimis versus callum oblongum tricostatum 
decrescentibus obsitä, antherä pubescente. 
By an error, resulting from the examination of insufficient 
specimens, this plant, which is nearly allied to M. squalens, 
was referred to Cyrtopera in the “Genera and Species of 
Orchidaceous Plants." It is a native of the neighbourhood 
of Loxa, where Mr. Hartweg found it, and it has flowered 
recently in the Garden of the Horticultural Society. The 
flowers are dull purplish yellow. The labellum is remarkable 
for having all its end, inside and out, covered over with stiff 
short pale tubercules, terminated by a purple stain. 
67. DICHAA glauca. 
Lindl. Gen. $ Sp. Orch. no. 7. 
'This, the finest of its curious genus, and delightfully 
sweet-scented, has flowered with Messrs. Loddiges, who have 
received it from Oaxaca, where, as in other parts of Mexico, 
itis common. The leaves, which are placed in two rows, i
