and in Hooker's Exotic Flora, to which Dr. Lindley refers 

 it in his Gen. et Sp. Orchid.,) seems to me to be different. 

 The latter also there quotes, as a synonym, his Colax 

 Barringtonice (Bot. Reg. t. 897.). But t. 89? is Maxillaria 

 HarrisonicB, a very distinct plant. With regard to Den- 

 drobium ciliatum, I do not find it in Swartz Gen. et Spec. 

 Orchid., nor in his Fl. Ind. Occ, though I presume upon the 

 authority of Swartz, it is given as a native of Jamaica. 

 Supposing Ruiz and Pavon's plant to be the same, it is 

 found also at Mima and Chinchao, in Peru. It is a graceful 

 species. Our specimen flowered in the Royal Botanic 

 Garden of Kew, in August, 1843. 



Descr. Pseudo-bulbs clustered, ovate, oblong, com- 

 pressed, the edges obtuse, the sides obsoletely furrowed. 

 Leaves two, from the apex of the pseudo-bulb, broadly lance- 

 olate, striated, tapering below. Scapes from the base of the 

 pseudo-bulb, three to four inches long, pendent, terete, 

 clothed with pale-coloured, sheathing scales. Flowers 

 solitary, large. Sepals and petals oblong-lanceolate, spread- 

 ing, externally pale-green, internally with a brownish tinge, 

 the sepal under the lip with a short conical spur at the 

 base. Lip shorter than the sepals, almost white, broadly 

 obovato-spathulate, the two side-lobes oblong, a little 

 incised; middle one large, striated with a decurrent lamella 

 below the middle, beautifully fimbriated at the sides with 

 long, slender laciniae, contracted below the apex, so that 

 the very apex forms a concave, slightly fringed, appeudage. 

 Column semiterete, decurrent into the spur of the sepal, 

 somewhat hairy in front. Anther-case hemispherical.
