concavo-hemisphezrico (non ventricoso) intus pubes- 
cente margine basi longissime ciliato. 
Several pseudo-bulbs of this remarkable and very pretty 
plant were sent from Para, in Brazil, to Mr. Murray of the 
Glasgow Botanic Garden in the early part of last year by 
_Mr. Campsext, and there is scarcely any period since, that 
some or other of them have not been throwing up the flow- 
ering-stems, and exhibiting their delicate blossoms of a 
white colour, the lip, tipped with red and banded with the 
same colour in the inside, while the margin at the base has 
a deep red fringe much longer than in any species I have 
ever seen. It will be seen that I have preserved the generic 
name of Monacuantuus, rather from consistency than a 
conviction of the soundness of the Genus. It might with 
greater propriety be called Caraserum, Sect. Monacuan- 
THUS, 
Pseudo-bulbs a span and more long, clustered, oblong,
