by a dense, thyrsiform raceme of many pale, dingy, yellow- 
ich, flesh-coloured flowers. These flowers are resupinate. 
The three outer segments ovato-oblong, nearly equal, the 
two lower ones decurrent: two inner ones lanceolate, within 
streaked with purple. Lip three lobed; faintly streaked 
with purple: side-lobes incurved, terminal one slightly 
deflexed, thick, fleshy, deep purple. Column semicylin- 
drical, dotted with purple. Anther two-celled. Pollen 
Masses four, united at their back, yellow: Gland semilunate. 
Germen clavate, twisted, shorter than the lanceolate brac- 
tea. 
A native of Brazil: communicated to the Glasgow Botanic 
Garden, where it flowered in the stove in the autumn of 
1828, by the Horticultural Society. The flowers are much 
greener in the specimen figured in the Bot. Register. It is 
there first referred to Denprosium; afterwards Mr. Linney 
constituted a new Genus of it: but as it appears: to me no 
way differing from Maxiixaria, except in aslight difference 
in the place of union of the Pollen Masses; at the back in 
Xytosium, at the base in Maxiuyaria.
