I am indebted to Mr. Frost, the excellent gardener of Lady 

 Grenville at Dropmore, will speedily appear in the present 

 work. 



130. CHYSIS IcBvis ; bracteis brevibus ovatis pedicelli longitudine, sepalo 

 dorsali lineari-obloiigo lateralibus acuminatis, petalis falcatis, labelli lobis 

 lateralibus falcatis apice rotundatis supra columnam couvergentibus in-

Of this singular Orchidaceous genus two new species have 

 appeared in the collection of Mr. Barker. The present has 

 very large yellow flowers, whose lip is spotted with dull brown, 

 and more membranous than in the others ; and it is remark- 

 able for its column becoming hard and very tumid after ferti- 

 lization has occurred, and eventually acquiring a green colour. 

 The other species has white flowers, with a deep yellow fleshy 

 lip, Avhich is divided into two lobes, each folded twice, so as 

 to give the whole the appearance of being four-lobed. It 

 may be named and defined as follows : 



131. CHYSIS bractescens; bracteis cucullatis venosis foliaceis ovario longio- 

 ribus, sepalis petalisque ovatis obtusis, labelli lobis lateralibus obtusis in- 

 termedio carnoso bilobo plicato lamellis 5 carnosis subsequalibus paral- 

 lelis basi pubescentibus, columna latissima carnosa cymbiformi antic6 

 pubescente. 



132. PfNUS//i/oZm ; ramis rigidis crassis, gemmse squamis linearibus acu- 

 minatissimis longissim^ ciliatis, foHis quinatis longissimis (1^ pedalibus) 

 acute triquetris : vaginis longis glabris persistentibus, strobUis conicis 

 elongatis obtusis (7-8-unc.) squamarum apicibus rhombeis depresso-py-

Seeds of this magnificent new Pine have lately been re- 

 ceived by the Horticultural Society from Mr. Hartweg, who 

 collected them on the Volcan del Fuego in Guatemala. The 

 leaves are longer than in any species previously discovered ; 

 and the branches are as stout, or stouter, than those of Pinus 

 palustris. It is in distribution by the Horticultural Society ; 

 but it is to be feared that it will not prove hardy. 



133. PINUS CoulierJ. (Lambert, mss. D. Don in Linn. Trans. 17. p. 440.) 

 I notice this plant for the purpose of correcting an error 



that has found its way into works on Pines, and of which I 

 have just been made aware by Mr. Lambert. It is stated by 

 Mr. Loudon, in his Arboretum Britannicum, and his state-
