Under our Warrea quadrata (Bot. Mag. Tab. 4766) is noticed 
the affinity of that with another species of Dr. Lindley, WV. dis- 
color : “ the flowers, however,” it was observed (of V. quadrata), 
“are larger and more fleshy, with no purple but in the centre and 
upper half of the lip; and is essentially known by the appendix 
at the base of the lip being nearly square, about three-toothed in 
front, and deeply furrowed ;—that of 7. discolor 1s uniformly 
digitate in all the specimens I have seen.” Lindl. : 
We have now the pleasure of figuring the 7. discolor, which 
shows the correctness of Dr. Lindley’s observations. ‘The speci- 
men was received in May, 1854, from Mr. Jackson, of the King- 
ston Nursery, who purchased it, as well as the former species, at 
one of the sales of Mr. Warszewitz’s Central American Plants. 
We observe the leaves to be considerably narrower than in /. 
quadrata. — 
Duscr. Asin WV. quadrata, we do not find any distinct pseudo- 
bulbs ; the Zeaves have equitant bases, upon which the leafy por- 
tion is jointed. These /eaves are about a span long, erect, sub- 
membranaceous, rather narrow-lanceolate, striated, attenuated 
below, sharply acuminated at the point. Scapes radical, single- 
flowered, shorter than the leaves, terete, bracteated ; dractee dis- 
tant, sheathing, brown, membranaceous. Flowers large, droop- 
ing. Sepals patent, lanceolate, white. Petals ovate, shorter and 
broader than the sepals, obtuse, white with a faint tinge of pur-
