whether Huntleya and Warscewizella—exactly alike as they 
are in habit—were really distinct in the structure of their 
flowers, I confess that at present I decidedly incline to the 
latter view; and if Warscewizella be maintained as a genus, 
there can, I think, be no doubt at all that the plant on the 
opposite page ought to belong to it. 
But whatever the name -it may ultimately bear, the plant 
itself is unquestionably well worthy of cultivation, than which 
nothing can be more simple; a moderately warm house and 
protection from the direct rays of the sun being all that is 
required. It flowers at all seasons, and is agreeably fragrant. 
It was discovered in New Granada by Mr. Blunt, who sent 
plants of it, and of many other varieties of the same species, 
to his employers, Messrs. H. Low and Co., of Clapton. 
Descr. Whole plant scarcely a foot high, the /eaves (there 
are no pseudobulbs) grow in tufts of (generally) five, the 
larger ones about a span long. Peduncles short, rising from 
among the leaves, one-flowered, each tuft of leaves usually 
producing about four, of which not more than one or (at 
most) two are in perfection at the same time. Petiole about 
three inches long. Sepals and petals an inch long, yellowish- 
white, curved backwards, acute, the lateral sepals being much 
narrower than the upper, which is itself about equal to the 
broadly-ovate petals. ip very large, spread wide open, but 
resting on a very short mentum, generally of the same hue 
as the petals, but with a crimson margin and some deep-purple 
streaks on its disk ; it is slightly five-lobed and furnished at 
its base with a strong callosity, resembling a semicircular 
row of teeth, of which there are five or seven, all running 
forwards into as many furrows. Column angled on each 
side.—J. B.
