lip is less green, beneath nearly white, banded with dull 
purple, articulated with the column, and covered over in 
the inside with various crowded tubercles, of which the 
three largest form a crescent near the apex of the lip. 
3. S. olivaceus (A. Cunn. in Bot. Reg, 1839. misc. no. 27); 
foliis oblongis membranaceis falcatis apice acutis integris, 
racemo flexuoso angulato 4-5-floro nutante, sepalis lineari- 
obovatis obtusis: intermedio latiore petalisque con- 
formibus minoribus columne dorso adnatis, labelli cum 
columná productá articulati lobo medio minimo trans- 
verso rotundato lateralibus acuminatis; disco callis 
variis crassis rotundatis tuberculato.——-New Holland 
—— Very nearly the same as S. parviflorus, from which 
it principally differs in its leaves being broader and not 
emarginate at the point. The flowers are small, yellowish 
orange green. 
4. S. croceus; foliis crassis dorso rotundatis recurvis apice 
in acumen crassum carnosum constrictis, labelli lunati 
laciniis semioblongis acutis antice convexis disco pubes- 
centibus lobulo intermedio obsoleto. —— Manilla —— 
Of this I have only seen one leaf, and one flower-bud, 
from Mr. Loddiges. It is a thick-leaved Vanda-like 
pan, with a saffron-coloured spot in the middle of its 
ip, which when spread out is not unlike a cheese-cutter 
in form. | | 
5. S. unguiculatus (Lindl. in Bot. Reg. 1840. misc. 143) ; 
racemo 3-4-floro, labelli unguiculati trilobi ungue con- 
vexo lineari lineá mediá exaratá, laminá cavá, lobis late- 
ralibus semi-ovatis obtusis intermedio supra trinervi 
subtus globoso apice papilleformi. —— Manilla. —— 
The flowers are light straw-colour, the side lobes of the 
labellum white streaked with crimson, and the middle 
lobe rounded, fleshy, and dotted with crimson. It is 
rather a pretty species. 
6. S. Calceolus, supra. 
Like many species of exotic Orchids this requires a humid 
atmosphere, and an ample supply of water throughout the 
year. It may be potted in turfy heath mould in the usual 
way. Being a native of a hot climate, it is necessary to keep 
it in a temperature of about 80º in summer, using a thin 
shading in sunny weather. In winter a temperature ranging 
from 66° to 70° will be sufficient.
