West Coast of Africa, in Dr. Lindley’s Herbarium. It seems 
to have been first introduced by the Messrs. Loddiges, then 
it was sent to Consul Schiller, and still more -recently, as 
already noted, to the Royal Gardens at Kew, where it hap- 
pened the other day to be in bloom when the great German 
Orchidist visited that establishment and drew up the descrip- 
tion that I have had much pleasure in transcribing. 
This Eulophia, like its congeners, is a terrestrial plant, and 
must be treated accordingly. Coming as it does from one of 
the sultriest regions on the earth’s surface, it will of course 
require a good deal of heat.—J. B. 
Descr. Pseudobulbs a span or more high, cylindrical, ta- 
pering in a fusiform manner at the end. Leaves cuneate, oblong, 
acute, a foot long. Peduncle elongate, with scales beneath,
