plant. It is not improbable, however, that the flower is | 
Subject to vary considerably in form, as will appear bya 
comparison of our figure with the two others above quoted; 
all fives differing in several respects from one another, yet _ 
there can hardly be a doubt but that they all belong to the 
same species. In our plant the under-lip of the Corolla 
retained the crumpled appearance, as when first unfolded, - 
till it fell off. ) 
Aristotocuta labiosa is a handsome climber, the leaves 
being of a delicate lively green and the flowers very large, 
beautifully variegated, and of a grotesque form; but its 
scent is very offensive, resembling that of some of the Sta- | 
pelias, and not very unlike the smell of decayed fish. 
For an opportunity of offering to our readers a drawing 
of this very rare plant, we are indebted to the Count bE | 
VanpeEs, in whose splendid collection at Bayswater, this 
plant flowered in the hot-house, in September 1824. It is 
a native of Brazil, from whence it was introduced into the 
Kew Gardens, by Messrs. Cunnincuam and Bowze, the 
king’s collectors. —_-
