three feet high, arose from one tuft of the plant in the same 
pot, will readily distinguish this plant from every other 
with which we are acquainted. Its nearest affinity perhaps 
is with E. oncidioides (Linpt. Bot. Reg. t. 1623). 
Descr. Pseudo-bulbs remarkable for their almost exactly 
globose form, as large as a good-sized. peach, smooth on 
the surface, the younger ones partially clothed with a mem- 
branaceous sheath. Leaves two, from the apex of the 
oe: eight to ten inches long, and an inch wide, 
inear-ligulate, rather obtuse, somewhat coriaceous, one- 
nerved. Panicle from the top of the pseudo-bulb between 
the two leaves, including the peduncle three feet and more 
high, with copious, spreading branches, and numerous 
flowers. Sepals and petals uniform, spreading horizontally, 
spathulate, acute, all of the same uniform tawny-orange 
colour. Lip broadly-oblong, channelled, three-lobed, the 
two side-lobes elliptical, embracing the column, the middle 
one cordate, acute, a little waved at the margin. Colour 
pale yellowish-green, beautifully streaked with red veins ; 
and at the base within is a large, oblong, white, fleshy disk, 
grooved in the centre. Column shorter than the lip, green- 
ish, bordered with red. Anther terminal, hemispherical, 
yellow.
