Notwithstanding some very trifling discrepancies in stmeture, 
and more marked ones in the colour of the flower, I cannot 
consider this line plant other than a var. of Anguloa Cloioesii, 
figured by Dr. Lindley in the ‘ Botanical Register ’ above quoted. 
Our flowers have, indeed, the ordinary position of those of Orchi- 
decB generally, and are not “ resupinate ”, as Dr. Lindley’s flower 
was, according to his acceptation of the term; but probably 
much stress cannot be laid on that character. The plant here 
figured was sent by Mr. Purdie to the Royal Gardens of Kew, 
and bloomed in the collection at Syon (whence our figure is 
derived) under the skilful management of Mr. Carton, in May, 
1847. The blossoms are fragrant. 
Desc. Pseudo-bulbs, when old, leafless, oblong, broadest above 
the base, obscurely furrowed. Leaves several, broadly obovato- 
lanceolate, membranous, striated, arising from scarcely-formed 
pseudo-bulbs, wliich are surrounded by green scales or im¬ 
perfect leaves. Scapes single-flowered, from the base of the 
pseudo-bulbs, about twice the length of them, erect, stout, 
JULY 1st, 1847.
