In the Botanical Register I have pointed out the differences between 
this and B. verecunda, and also explained my reasons for rejecting the sy- 
nonym of Redouté quoted by Mr. Brown, and for considering B. pallida 
as the real B. florida.

The character of the ribs of the disk of the labellum being branched in 
this species, as stated by Mr. Brown in the Hortus Kewensis, is inconstant. 
With regard to the union of Cymbidium altum with Cymbidium vere- 
cundum ; the former was introduced by Willdenow upon the supposition 
that its labellum was destitute of ribs, and that the figure given by 
J. Burmann in his edition of Plumier was a faithful one at least in general 
character. It is however evident from Plumier's drawings, of which 
I have examined copies in Mr. Lambert's Herbarium, that Burmann's 
figure is execrable, and that the plant discovered by Plumier is in no re- 
spect different from Cymbidium verecundum. 
, Another blunder has been committed by the same Burmann and co- 
pied without comment by others, which is of less importance, but rather
