flowers, with a deep brown spot in the middle of the lip. 
It is related to D. chrysanthum, from which it differs in 
having the petals serrated, and in the surface and margin of 
the labellum. It was found at Pundua, at the foot of the 
Khoseea hills of India, by Mr. John Gibson, at that time 
employed as collector to His Grace the Duke of Devonshire, 
and at whose request it was named after Mr. Paxton. It 
was sent me from Chatsworth in April last. 
57. PHOLIDOTA articulata ; Gen. et Sp. Orch. p. 38. 
This plant has been introduced to Chatsworth by Mr. 
Gibson. It is of no beauty; its flowers are small and dirty 
white, with a little yellow. It is different in habit from the 
common Pholidota imbricata, the stem being jointed like an 
Otochilus, and not pseudo-bulbous. 
58. PHAIUS Wallichii. Lindl. in Wall. pl. as. rar. t. 158. 
Another addition to the Chatsworth collection, made by 
Mr. Gibson during his stay in India. The specimen sent 
me was a good deal damaged, but it appeared to be as stately 
and beautiful a plant as the common P. grandifolius. 
59. TRIGONIDIUM tenue (Lodd. cat. no. 582.); pseudobulbis ovalibus 
compressis monophyllis, folio ensiformi acutissimo scapo erecto tenui lon- 
giore, sepalis reflexis acutissimis, labello oblongo obtuso trilobo glabro apice 
reflexo medio appendice plano obovato emarginato adnato acuto. 
A brownish purple species with a slender habit, intro- 
duced from Demerara by Messrs. Loddiges, with whom it 
flowered in May. 
60. SCAPHYGLOTTIS stellata ; (Loddiges in litt.) pseudobulbis fusiformi- 
bus, foliis linearibus canaliculatis obtusis emarginatis, fasciculis sessilibus 
terminalibus, sepalis linearibus secundis patentibus petalis conformibus an- 
gustioribus, labello cuneato trilobo lobis lateralibus rotundatis intermedio 
acutiusculo. 
This species nearly resembles Scaphyglottis violacea, 
(Bot. Reg. t. 1901) from which it differs in having larger 
flowers with spreading segments, and the lateral lobes of the 
lip as large as the middle lobe. It is a native of Demerara, 
‘whence it was obtained by Messrs. Loddiges. 
61. ISOTROPIS striata. (Bentham in Angel’s Enum. pl. p. 28.) 
This is a very pretty little greenhouse shrub. The stem 
is soft, and slightly downy, the leaves oval, apiculate, convex
