71. CAMAROTIS obtusa. 
C. obtusa; labello calceiformi lobulo terminali truncato obsolet& tridentato 
inflexo intus appendice biloba canaliculatá aucto, columnä tort, rostello 
ungue labelli vix longiore. 
I have only seen a few flowers of this, which was given 
by Mr. Bateman to Messrs. Loddiges. It isof Indian origin, 
and has dull dirty rose-coloured flowers, with a yellow lip. 
They are much larger than in C. purpurea, but by no means 
so handsome. The little lobe at the end of the lip is fleshy, 
slightly 3-lobed, and furnished with a singular 2-lobed chan- 
nelled appendage. The column is twisted half round, as in 
Mormodes. 
72. ARALIA macroph ylla. 
A. macrophylla ; levis, inermis, herbacea, foliis tripinnatis, foliolis petiolatis 
cordatis oblongis serratis acuminatis nunc trilobis, umbellis composito- 
racemosis. 
This is an herbaceous plant from the North of India, 
looking like A. racemosa, but much larger in all its parts. 
The flowers, which are greenish-yellow, have been produced 
in the garden of the Horticultural Society, where the plant 
has been raised from seeds presented by the East India Com- 
pany. 
73. BOLBOPHYLLUM pileatum. 
B. pileatum ; ..... floribus solitariis glabris, sepalis oblongis obtusis late- 
ralibus convexis longioribus, petalis conformibus dupló angustioribus, 
labello linguiformi obtuso levi pone basin bijugato inter juga subaspera 
nectare lucido obducto, columná tereti.muticä, antherá conicà cum dente 
postico columnse subulato articulatá, polliniis 4 inzequalibus. 
A native of Sincapore, and No. 178 of Messrs. Loddiges' 
last catalogue, by whom it was received from Sincapore in the 
year 1840. It has a large yellow-ochre-coloured flower, with 
a nearly flat moveable labellum stained with two purple 
ridges near the base, between which is a little bright yellow 
valley, secreting a a matter along its whole length. 
The anther is conical, like an old-fashioned high-crowned 
hat. 
74. PILUMNA laxa. 
Among the curious plants that have flowered this year with 
Mr. Barker is the present, which is said to have been pur-
