the points of distinction between the two species are so nu- 

 merous and obvious, that it is not necessary to contrast them. 

 The name of Wartiana, which I have given to the species, 

 is designed, I need scarcely say, to compliment the illustrious 

 Professor of Botany at Munich. Mrs. Withers has prepared 

 a figure which will appear in an early number of 'The Orchi- 

 dacesB of Mexico and Guatemala.'" 



For the foregoing note I am indebted to Mr. Bateman. 



no. DENDROBlUM revolutum ; caulibus obtuse aacipitibus, foliis ovato-

 mellis duabus inflexis parallelis instructo) lineis tribus discoloribus. 



A new species imported from Sincapore, by Mr. Cuming. 

 I have received it both from Mr. Barker of Birmingham, 

 and Messrs. Loddiges. The flowers are straw-coloured, and 

 about the size of those of D. Pierardi, but their lip is fleshy, 

 convex, almost lozenge-shaped, and marked with 3 brown 

 lines. It is not very pretty, but it is very distinct from any 

 previously described. 



111. DENDROBlUM teres; caulibus gracilibus glabris, foliis carnosis tere- 

 tibus obtusis, racemo terminali nudo, bracteis coriaceis spathaceis, flori- 

 bus semiclausis longe cornutis, sepalis petalisque erectis acuminatis, 

 labello cuneato apice truncato serrulate longiiis cuspidato: venis tribus 

 pone apicem subcristatis, columna versus basin dente deflexo aucta. 



Another importation from Sincapore, for which I am 

 indebted to Messrs. Loddiges. It is a slender plant, with 

 the leaves of Vanda teres, and whitish fragrant flowers in 

 terminal naked racemes. The lip is deeply stained with 

 orange inside near the apex. 



112. DINEMA ^ffi^eacewm ; pseudobulbis ovalibus compressis monopbyllis, 

 foliis ensiformibus obtusiusculis planis spica pauciflora longioribus, 

 bracteis lineari-lanceolatis acuminatis paleaceis ovario lentiginoso brevi- 

 oribus, floribus secundis, sepalis petalisque lineari-lanceolatis patulis, 

 labello petalis eequali et subconformi carnoso apice dilatato per medium 

 sulcato. 



A Guatemala plant, imported by Mr. Bateman, to whom 

 1 am indebted for a specimen. It has pale straw-coloured 

 flowers, of little beauty, and is only interesting as confirming 

 the goodness of the genus Dinema, whose character however 

 depends upon the number of pollen straps being 2, not 4 

 as in Epidendrum ; the horn-like processes of the column,
