canaliculatis (pedalibus) apice oblique emarginatis et excisis, 
racemo horizontali 10-floro foliorum longitudine, pedicellis 
floribus 3-plo longioribus, sepalis petalisque obovatis ungui- 
culatis crispis, labelli cornu brevi obtuso lobo intermedio 
convexo cuneato apice rotundato, lateralibus abbreviatis 
rotundatis hinc acutis explanatis. 
This has quite the habit of Vanda Roxburghii, and its

colour cannot be judged of from the single dried specimen in 
Mr. Hind's collection, where, although well preserved, they 
are black.—New Guinea, Mr. Hinds. : 
Saccolabium quinquefidum ; Lindl. sp. n., foliis coriacels

_A plant with the habit of Sarcanthus paniculatus, but with 
extremely small flowers. The leaves are coriaceous, shining, —— 
about 8 inches long by 1 broad. The panicle is a foot anda — 
half long, and fully 8 inches in diameter. "There is no differ- 
ence whatever between this and the common forms of Sacco-  — 
labium. The genus Carteretia must therefore be cancelled. 7

In foliage, this species has the habit of Epidendrum elon- - 
gatum; but its inflorescence is quite peculiar. The stem» - 
which is a foot and a half long, at its end becomes leafless: -
