91. LEOCHILUS sanguinolentus. 
L. sanguinolentus; labello pandurato sepalis multó majore apice bilobo: 
laciniis subrotundis imbricatis superficie planá levi supra basin 3-tuber- 
culatà basi ipsa villosa, column alis abbreviatis, clinandrii dorso elevato, 
antherä parvá. 
This also comes from La Guayra, whence Mr. Barker 
received it. Although the flowers are small they are very 
beautiful, having a deep crimson lip richly studded with clear 
purple spots. In the smallness of its anthers, the extension 
of the anther-bed behind into an elevated rim, and in the 
shortness of the column wings, it is somewhat different from 
the rest of the genus. I have only seen a couple of flowers. 
99. EPIDENDRUM ceratistes. 
E. ceratistes (Encyclium 111.*); pseudobulbis conicis 2-3-phyllis, foliis 
ensiformibus strictis scapo duplo brevioribus, paniculá longá cernuä 
racemiformi ramulis levibus divaricatis, sepalis petalisque obovatis 
acutissimis subconformibus (herbaceis), labelli trilobi lobis lateralibus 
erectis obtusis ovatis apice recurvis intermedio subrotundo unguiculato 
acuminato crispo striato, ungue medio depresso versus basin 4-costato, 
columnä bicornutä, antherä tricostatä. 
A native of the Spanish Main, whence it was brought by 
Mr. Hartweg to the Horticultural Society, with whom it 
flowered in October last. Its panicle is very narrow, and 
about three feet long; the leaves resemble those of E. vir- 
gatum, but are not so glaucous; the flowers are extremely 
similar to those of E. selligerum, but they are a clear green 
with a whitish lip, and the column has two horn-like arms. 
It is rather sweet-scented. 
93. PHYCELLA obtusa. 
P. obtusa ; folio synanthio sesquipedali horizontali oblongo in petiolum longé 
angustato (4 poll. lato), scapo stricto tereti glauco subspirali, umbellà 
6-florá pedunculis tubo brevioribus, tubo cylindraceo basi abrupté obtuso 
sexcostato (carneo) apice (viridi) patulo, staminibus stylo multö bre- 
vioribus. 
This species is so very like P. chloracra, that it might 
be mistaken for it; but it has stamens considerably shorter 
than the style, and the tube, instead of being green at the
