An extremely beautiful plant, an inhabitant of the Organ 
Mountains of Brazil, where it was found by Mr. Garpner 
in 1837, and whence it was sent by him to the Woburn 
collection. Of the Genus itself to which it should be 
referred I feel rather doubtful. In some respects, it agrees 
with Mirron1a of Linptey (see Bot. Reg. sub t. 1992), but 
that should have an entire lip. ‘ The Genera Brassia, 
Mirronia, Cyrrocuitum, Opontoc Lossum, and Oncipium are 
closely related,” Dr. Linptey observes, “‘ and no doubt 
form the nucleus of a group of Vanpea, the limits of which 
remain to be ascertained.”
