Cyrtorhiluni ixtoidc:* and jinrtiiiiiiin which are rather Odontoglojwa, and C- llavescens and stelliituui 

 which are better placed with Oncidium Ituascllianum in Miltonia. 



For tlic purpose uf putting thi* matter in a* clear ft light as I con. and because of the ciiormou* 

 increase of the genu* Oncidium itself of late years, from 38 specie* in 1&12 <» 101 in 1842, together 

 with xhv nwy repetitions of the Mime ftpecics under different names, now scattered through many 

 liooks and many places, I have been tempted to draw up the following abstract of the genu*, in doing 

 which an opportunity ho* been taken of entirely remodelling it.
