score of beauty, now, as cultivated in the collection at 
Wentworth, whence our fine specimen was kindly com- 
municated in August of last year, 1835, must be allowed 
to possess considerable beauty and gracefulness. Lord 
Firzwitiram received the plant from the Hon. and Rev. 
W. Herzert of Spofforth, who imported it from Brazil ; 
and the scape here represented was produced by an offset 
of the same year’s growth. 
Descr. Bulbs, or pseudo-bulbs, about three inches long, 
rounded, a little tapering upwards, furrowed, dark green ; 
bearing, at the extremity, a solitary, oval-oblong, dark 
green, striated, rather obtuse leaf. Scape from the base of 
the bulb, fourteen to sixteen inches long, slender, bearing 
a drooping, many-flowered panicle, or rather compound 
raceme. Perianth yellow, spotted with red. Sepals and 
__ petals obovate, concave, the two lower sepals the smallest : 
the upper one forming a kind of hood over the column. The 
lip may be called panduriform, with a horn-shaped lobe on 
each side at the base : the apex rounded and broad, emar- 
ginate, the disk below the apex with a sort of double crest, 
of which the lowest projects into a horn on each side at 
the base. Column short, with two projecting, elongated 
lobes or wings. Lip hemispherical, truncated in front. 
Pollen-masses pear-shaped, stalked. (i 26) OR aa
