Tas. 3568. Oncidium Cebolleta. We have pleasure in stating that 
Joun Hencuman, Esq., of the Clapton Nursery, introduced this fine 
plant to our collections in 1834. He found it in the vicinity of Cumana 
and carried it to Trinidad, whence, as above stated, Mr. Murray re- 
ceived our specimen, which blossomed in the Glasgow Garden. Another 
plant of it was sent to Mr. Murray from the Clapton Nursery, by Mr. 
Lowe, which is now showing flower, and Mr. Horsra.t’s was received 
from the same establishment. Mr. Hencuman possesses eight varieties, 
one of them with much larger and handsomer flowers, than that given at 
t. 3568, and which are at this time (April 1837,) in high perfection.
