and British Guayana (Schomburgk, no. 424.)—— 
Although a good deal like E. nutans, this species is 
really very distinct, and indeed far handsomer ; in con- 
sequence of the rich purplish brown spots with which the 
sepals and petals are profusely decorated. Like so many 
of the order this species varies a good deal in the amount 
of toothing observable in its lip. In the original speci- 
mens the divisions were perfectly entire ; in other plants 
they are all toothed, or both the one and the other.

Caliphruria Hartwegiana ; bulbo ovato, folis petiolatis subdepressis peren- 
nibus petiolo subbiunciali superficie planá dorso rotundato laminà sex- 
unciali vel ultra acuminaté ovali interdum subplicate canaliculatä satu-

This plant, found in New Granada near Guaduas by 
Mr. Hartweg, is evidently akin to Eurycles of Amboyna and 
Australia, forming a link between that genus and Griffinia. 
It is not improbable, that the white bristle on each side the 
filament may be found obsolete in other species, for the genus 
Stenomesson shews great diversity of such appendages, even 
in plants which are evidently varieties of one species, and 
differ in no other respect. "This plant, except im the inflo- 
rescence, has much the appearance of an Eucrosia, but with 
the blade of the leaf more horizontally depressed. I appre- 
hend that it will have fleshy sceds.—W. H.
