 Monachantbo. 



A pretty species from Para, which has flowered in the 

 Botanical Garden, Glasgow. The flowers are described as 

 delicate, of a white colour, with a lip tipped and banded with 

 red ; but they are represented as greenish yellow. As the 

 genus Monachanthus is suppressed 1 am obliged to alter 

 the designation under which the plant has been published in 

 the Botanical Magazine. It is very near Catasetum (Mona- 

 chanthus) discolor.

Found by Mr. Gardner in the province of Ceara in 

 Brazil,- and very nearly the same as Catasetum (Myanthus) 

 barbaium, from which its brighter coloured and larger flowers, 

 serrated petals and horned labellum seem to distinguish it 

 sufficiently. From the Glasgow Botanic Garden.

 same as O. sanguineum, Sertum Orcbidaceum, t. 27. 



138. ONClDIUM pachjphylfam. Hooker in Botanical Magazine, t, 3807, is 

 the same as tbe O. Caveiidishianum of Mr. Bateman's Orcbidacese of 

 Mexico and Guatemala, t. 3. 



139. ^ ZYGOPETALUM africanum. Hooker in Botanical Magazine, t. 38 12. 



This, which was sent to Sir Wm. Hooker from Woburn as a 

 Sierra Leone Orchidaceous plant, is certainly American, and 

 in all appearance is a pale variety of Odontocjlossum Bictoni- 

 ense, the Cirtochylum Bictoniense of Mr. Bateman's work.
