New GARDEN PLANTS. 
ERIOPSIS BILOBA. 
This new genus belongs to the Maxillarids, among Van- 
deous Orchids, but has so much the habit of Eria, when not 
in flower, that it may be mistaken forit. It has large plaited 
leaves placed two or three together, upon the summit of a 
fleshy oblong stem, and it throws up from the base a long 
spike of gay orange-coloured blossoms. The history of its 
introduction is unknown. It has been flowered by J. J. 
Blandy, Esq., of Reading, who, in September last, favoured 
us with a specimen ; it had been acquired by him among the 
many rare species forming the late Mr. Barker's collection, 
which Mr. Blandy purchased, and is possibly some western 
plant. We do not, however, find any trace of it in books, or 
among our own unarranged collections. In a short time 
we shall give a figure of it, and in the meanwhile propose 
the following as its technical character.
