Dr. Lindlev observes, it seems to us still more closely allied 

 to B. cordata, (Bot. Mag. t. 3782,) differing chiefly in the 

 size of the flower and breadth of the leaf, to which Dr. 

 Lindley adds, " in the firmness of the lip, which is more or 

 less evidently lobed at the side," (a variable character,) 

 " and has the veins distinctly elevated." 



It flowered in the stove of the Royal Botanic Gardens, 

 and is certainly the finest of all the Brassavolas.
