XO PEOFESSOR LINDLEY'S OONTEIBUTIONS TO 



Hamburg, and another of my own dated Sept. 1854, in both 

 which the stigmatic hollow is concealed by a tooth-like elevation 

 of its lower edge, a structure also occurring in TJielychiton and 

 D. normale ; in the Kew plant there was, moreover, a bristle on 

 one side of this front tooth, and external to it ; but Prof. B/cichen- 

 bach did not find it in many fresh flowers examined by himself, 

 nor does either the bristle or the front tooth occur in the original 

 Aclinia. The meaning of these malformations opens a curious 

 field of inquiry, to which I hope to address myself on a future 

 occasion.

Mr. Dalzell states that in this plant, " across the front of the 

 column and below the orifice of the stigmatic cavity, there is a 

 small crest terminated on each side by a deeply-coloured horn, 

 two- or three-toothed at the apex." This seems as if we had here 

 also some monstrous structure ; but I am unable to refer the plant 

 to any of the Eudendrobia, unless indeed D. transparens should 

 claim it ; and I must add, that there was nothing unusual in the 

 column of the only flower I have had an opportunity of dissecting. 



98. D. TETRODON {H. G. Rchb. in Hit.); caulibus floridis tenuibus 

 pendulis aphyllis junioribus foliis anguste lanceolatis membranaceis 

 subobliquis, floribus geminatis, sepalis petalisque lineari-laneeolatis 

 acutissimis,mento obsoleto, labello conformi paulo majore et obtusiore, 

 clinandrio quadridentato.

Of this I have a good specimen from Prof. Eeichenbach. It 

 has the habit of such a plant as D. transparens ; and there is a 

 slight tendency to the extension of the lateral sepals at the base. 

 Can it be a Peloria of D. macrostacTiyum ? I find nothing mon- 

 strous in the column.
