This, which we cannot find to be anywhere described, was 

 lately sent to us from Bahia, by our valued correspondent 

 C. H. Williams, Esq. In aspect it much resembes Lcelia ; but 

 the pollen-masses are four and not eight. It flowered with us 

 in September, 1863, not long after the plant was imported. 



JUNE 1ST, 1864.
