exudation all along the axis. I did not remark any smell in 

 this species. 



7. BEl^iBROBIl] M plicatiie (D . fimbriatim, Lindl. gen. & sp. pi. p. 7&.) 



This plant has flowered with Messrs. Rollissons, imported 

 from Manilla. It has solitary, rather large flowers, of a dull 

 yellow a little tinged with red, and a curious plaited labellum. 

 The original name of this plant being the same as that applied 

 to a very different species, it has become necessary to sub- 

 stitute another, which I have taken in allusion to the very 

 conspicuous plicatures of the labellum. 



8. CYCNOCHES maculahim; racemo longissimo multifloro, labello lineari- 



lanceolato, hypocliilio lineari, metacliilio basi cornuto glaitdulis utrinque 

 teretibus elongatis genuflexis pinnatifid^ marginato, epichilio lanceo- 

 late membranaceo acuto margine incurvo. 



A very fine species, with long, pendulous, many-flowered 

 racemes of dull yellowish-brown flowers spotted with brown. 

 It has lately flowered in Mr. Barker's invaluable collection of 

 epiphytes, and will be immediately published in the Sertum 

 Orchidaceum ; the page of the Botanical Register is too 

 small to do justice to so noble a flower. 



9. MORMODES buccinator; sepalis lineari-oblongis lateralibus reflexis dor- 



sal! petalisque ovaU-lanceolatis erectis, labello vinguiculato caruoso nudo 

 subrotundo-cuneato apiculato utrinque emarginato lateribus in buccinse 

 formara revolutis, columnse dorso acuto. 



Flowers pale green, with an ivory-white lip, whose sides 

 are so rolled back as to give it the appearance of a trumpet. 

 The column is twisted sometimes to the right, sometimes to 

 the left. The habit and general appearance of the flowers, 

 except in colour, is that of M. atropurpurea, figured in the 

 Botanical Register, t. 1861. Specimens were sent me by 

 Mr. Thomas Williams, gardener to J. Willmore, Esq. of 

 Oldford, near Birmingham. 



10. AZARA integrifolia. Flora Peruviana syst. p. 138. 



A few weeks ago I received a flowering specimen of this 

 rare plant from Messrs. Lucombe, Pince, & Co. Nurserymen, 

 Exeter, who cultivate it successfully against a western wall. 

 It is a handsome evergreen with very dark leaves, and would 

 be well worth a place in a garden where such shelter can be 

 afforded it.
