This plant was introduced, with others, into Europe by 
Mr. Bidwell of Sydney. It is a native of an elevated tract 
of table-land called New England, on the south-eastern moun- 
tains of the Australian continent. —W. H.

L. herbaceus ; labello obovato emarginato apice denticulato medio convexo 
leevi basi excavato villoso. 
An inconspicuous plant from La Guayra, imported by 
George Wailes, Esq., of Newcastle. Its sepals and petals 
are green, with a single red stripe along the middle. The 
lip is white slightly tinged with green, and irregularly 
banded with pale purple. It differs from L. oncidioides in 
the form and surface of the lip. I believe, too, that the 
flowers are in pairs; but I have only seen fragments.
