Received from the collection of Messrs. Rollison, Tooting 
Nursery, and I am indebted to Dr. Lindley for the above refer- 
ences and synonyms. As a species it is very unlike any with 
which I am acquainted. In colour it approaches the much more 
beautiful Cattleya citrina, but in scarcely any other character. 
It flowered with the Messrs. Rollison in November, 1857, and 
1s known to be a native of Brazil. = 
Descr. Our plant has an annulated branched rhizome, 
about as thick as a duck’s quill, sending down from beneath a 
few thick fleshy fibres, and upwards, from the short branches, 
elliptical, quite smooth and compressed pseudobulbs, which bear 
one leaf, and while young are enveloped in a large, sheathed, 
membranous, striated, sheathing scale, these crease In age, and 
eventually become oblong, nearly terete and sulcated.— = 
about three inches long, thick, succulent, dark-green, elliptical, 
veinless, with a deep notch at the apex. From the base of - 
leaf, at the top of the pseudobulb, arises the peduncle, scarcely 
FEBRUARY lst, 1858.
