rigues to be very fragrant, and was subsequently named 
B. fragrans by the latter author. The resemblance of the 
flowers to those of B. Harrisoniz (Mazillaria Harrisome, 
Lindl. (see Tab. 2927) is very strong, in all but the colour 
of the sepals and petals which in that plant are of a pale 
brown. Amongst other differences are the pollinia, which 
in B. Harrisoniz are subsessile on a very short broad 2-fid 
strap. 
The plant here figured was obtained in 1893 from the 
establishment of M. Linden, “ L’Horticulture Interna- 
tionale,” under the name of Bifrenaria Dallemagnei. It 
flowered in a cool house in the Royal Gardens, Kew,in 
June, 1895. 
Descr.—Pseudobulbs three inches long by two and a half 
broad, ovoid, compressed, trigonous, the sides marked with 
many shallow depressions, top dark brown. Leaf about 
six inches long, by two to three broad, sessile, elliptic 
—oblong, suberect, dark green, many-nerved. Scape de- 
curved, then ascending, very stout, about three-fid., green, 
streaked with brown; sheaths few, and spathaceous bracts — 
brown; pedicel with ovary two inches long, green. 
Flowers three inches broad across the sepals, nearly three ~ 
and a half from the tip of the dorsal sepal to that e.. 
mentum, red purple ; margins of sepals and petals obscurely _ 
crimped. Dorsal sepal broadly oblong, erect ; lateral del * 
broader, rounded, connate at their bases with the long 
hairy foot of the column, forming a straight, spur-like 
mentum an inch and a half long. Lip much smaller 
than the sepals, stoutly clawed, three-lobed ; tube funnel- 
shaped ; lateral lobes rounded, erect ; mid-lobe short, very 
broad, revolute, undulate, bright red purple, clothed with 
white hairs; callus forming a very stout, broad hairy 
cushion between the lateral lobes and ending in a truncate 
boss. Column very short. Pollinia each on a straight 
columnar strap, which is seated on an oblong, retuse 
gland.—J, D. H.
