ceived by the Horticultural Society from Mr. Hartweg, who 

 transmitted no specimens, but who calls it *' a very fine shrub 

 near *S^. aricBfolia.'* It is a handsome looking plant, with 

 very angular downy branches, ovate, incised smooth leaves, 

 wedge-shaped at the base, with the lateral incisions usually 

 split into a pair of unequal very sharp teeth. There are no 

 stipules. It is quite distinct from any previously discovered. 



171. BOLBOPHYLLtJM limhatum; pseudobulbis ampullaceis depressis, fo- 

 liis . . . . , racemo cylindraceo multifloro longe pedunculato, squamis 

 pedunculi sursum nudi duabns distantibus parvis vaginautibus, brac- 

 teis minimis, sepalis ovatis obtusis ciliatis, petalis multo brevioribus 

 obovatis margine superiore villoso, labello ovato crasso obtuso petalis 

 longiore basi bidentato : disco Isevi nitido limbo scabritie minuta opacato. 



The flowers of this plant are deep dull purple, in a rather 

 loose raceme. The sepals and petals are both fringed with 

 whitish hairs. The labellum is remarkable for being polished 

 in the middle, and surrounded by a broad belt of minute points, 

 which give it an opaque shagreen appearance. Like most of 

 the genus it is a plant of little beauty. Messrs. Loddiges 

 received it from Sincapore. 



1/2. DENDROBltJM (Desmotrichum) longicolle ; pseudobulbo compresso 

 in collum lougissimum extenso, folio oblongo concavo, flore solitario, 

 ovario filiformi c. pedicello articulato, sepalis petalisque patentibus a 

 lata basi in acumen lineare attenuatis, cornu bi'evi conico, labello trilobo : 

 lobis lateralibus nanis margine anteriore crispis intermedio apice ovato 

 plicato crispatoque sublobato, lamellis 2 crispis conniventibus per axin. 



A singular Dendrohium, belonging to the same section as 

 D. amplum, which is remarkable for combining the habit of 

 Bolhophyllum with the entire structure of the former genus. 

 The neck of the pseudo-bulb is nearly eight inches long ; the 

 leaf five inches ; the ovary two inches and a half. The flower 

 is pale straw colour, with the ends of the sepals and petals 

 tapering into a fine purple point. Sent to Messrs. Loddiges 

 from Sincapore by Mr. Cuming. 



173. CIRRHOPETALUM vaginatum. Lindl. Gen. Sf Sp.orch.p. 59. 



Messrs. Loddiges have received this plant from Mr. 

 Cuming, who collected it at Sincapore. It has the pale 

 straw-coloured flowers in heads, with their anterior sepals 

 prolonged into a fine thread nearly two inches long. The 

 pseudo-bulbs are in the form of a truncated pyramid ; the 

 leaves coriaceous and emarginate.
