The cup-shaped appendage to the labellum is here much 
larger than we have ever seen it before: its colour is a 
dingy brown-purple, which tint extends a good deal over 
the lip itself, which has, moreover, smaller and more indis- 
tinct spots than is common to the species.

Mr. Herserr has requested us to add the following re- 
marks to his account of Cypuonema Loddigesianum. (See 
No. 3710, p. 3. of text.) 
Scapus autumnalis. Folium vernum, unicum, utrinque 
attenuatum, subpedale, ultra 4 unc. latum, viride, basi et 
margine ortu rubrum, subinde virescentius. Patria Africa 
meridionalis.—The rise of the leaf of this plant has shown 
its identity with another bulb, received from the Cape of 
Good Hope by Messrs. Loppices. The supposition that 
they were mistaken, is, therefore, clearly confirmed, There 
are many bulbs of this plant in their nursery ; but no in- 
stance of their producing more than one leaf W. H.
