ftamps a value upon every hint from him refpecting their 

 culture, vide No. 543. 



The Epidendrum cucullatum and fragrans have a very 

 confiderable refemblance in the form of the flower ; but be- 

 lides that, the former wants the fragrant fmell of the latter, and 

 the difference in colour, there are feveral remarkable diitinc- 

 tions. In cocbleatum, the petals are nearly fimilar, and all 

 reflected ; in fragrans^ the petals are patent, and the two inte- 

 rior ones are much broader and fomewhat fhorter than the 

 three exterior, and the lip of the neftary is more accuminate. 

 Both are natives of Jamaica, and in this country muft be con- 

 ftant inhabitants of the ftove. 



The error in No. 152 may be thus corrected.
