EPIDENDRUM PYRIFORME. 
E. pyriforme (Encyclium : labello tripartito : lobo medio rotundato) pseudo- 
bulbis obpyriformibus aggregatis diphyllis, foliis coriaceis lanceolatis 
acutis scapo subbifloro longioribus, sepalis petalisque lanceolatis acutis, 
labelli lobis lateralibus obtusis integerrimis intermedio subrotundo 
glabro picto callis 2 maximis apice subliberis in unguem. 
A very pretty little species, imported from Cuba by Messrs. 
Loddiges, with whom it flowered the other day. The leaves 
are about four inches long, on little pseudo-bulbs, which look 
like inverted pears. Notwithstanding its diminutive stature, 
the flowers are fully 23 inches in diameter, with reddish yellow 
sepals and petals, and a pale straw-coloured lip veined with 
crimson. 
EPIDENDRUM pricatvm. 
E. plicatum (Encyclium : labello tripartito: lobo medio acuto) pseudo- 
bulbis ovatis diphyllis, foliis ensiformibus acutis racemo brevioribus, 
sepalis petalisque lanceolatis cuspidato-acuminatis, labelli lobis lateralibus 
oblongo-lanceolatis undulatis basi elevatovenosis intermedio cordato 
transverso plicato crenato cuspidato, callis 2 maximis carinatis acutis 
apice subliberis in unguem. 
This also is a Cuba species from Messrs. Loddiges, with 
whom it flowered in January. It takes rank with E. phe- 
niceum, and Hanburii, but is quite different in the form of 
its lowers. The plaited crenelled lip, with a long cusp, is 
quite peculiar; it is of a rich crimson, as are the sonis at 
the back ; but the sepals and inside of the petals are green, 
the former just warmed and the latter richly spotted with 
crimson.
