teeth, erect, lanceolate, green. Corolla between two and 
three inches long, tubular, somewhat funnel-shaped, the 
base having five vesicular swellings, throughout pubes- 
cent; the colour is reddish, inclining to purple, with several 
longitudinal series of brown streaks towards the extremity. 
The mouth is cut into five obtuse short lobes, nearly equal, 
scarcely spreading, the two upper the smaller, standing 
close together, and, as it were, forming the superior lip; 
on the outside, at the sinus of each lobe, is a rounded 
tubercle. Stamens four: the Anthers united into one body, 
bearing much white pollen. Pistil : Germen half inferior, 
the upper part gradually tapering into the filiform style, as 
jong as the corolla. Stigma obtuse. At the base of the 
germen, on the upper side, are two large yellow glands. 
This very beautiful and graceful Gusneria is distin- 
guished by many points from the hitherto described species 
of the genus. It was kindly communicated from the rich 
collection of Mrs. Arnotp Harrison of Aighburgh, having 
been sent to her, by her brother, Wit11am Harrison, Esq. 
from the hills about Rio de Janeiro. It of course requires 
the heat of the stove, and is a plant in every way deserv- 
ing of more extended cultivation.
