174. ONCIDIUM ineurvum (Barker in litt.); pseudobulbis ovatis ancipitibus 

 utrinque tricostatis diphyllis, foliia ensiformibus acutis, scapo elongate 

 racemoso-paniculato, sepalis lineari-lanceolatis undulatis liberis, petalis 

 conformibus incurvis, labelli laciniis lateralibus rotundatis nanis inter- 

 media subrotunda concava acuta, crista ovata depressa dimidia inferiore 

 lineata superiore tricostata, columna aptera. 



A pretty species, with pale pink flowers mottled with 

 white. It has at first sight the appearance of O. ornitho- 

 rhynchum, but it wants the bird's-beaked anther, and the 

 column-wings of that species. Its panicled scape is long, 

 narrow, and about three feet high. It was originally sent 

 me by Mr. Barker, and I have subsequently seen it in the 

 collection of Messrs. Lee and Co. of Hammersmith. 



175. PLEUR0TII4LLIS seriata ; folio carnoso piano ovali emarginato caule 

 multo longiore, pedunculo filiformi paucifloro folii longitudine, sepalo 

 dorsali carinato margine reflexo antico latiore acuto emarginato, petalis 

 brevibus spatbulatis carnosis leevibus, labeUo oblongo obtusissimo pube- 

 Bcente medio exarato lobulis lateralibus minimis rotundatis. 



An inconspicuous species of this large genus, with pale 

 yellowish-green flowers marked with rows of purple dots. 

 Like all the genus it is a beautiful object when examined 

 microscopically, but to the naked eye it offers no attraction. 

 The Horticultural Society received it from Rio Janeiro, whence 

 it was procured by John Hearne, Esq. 



176. CATASETUM Tndla; sepalis petalisque patentibus ovalibus planis, 

 labello late ovato acuminato obtuso subcordato concavo fimbriate apice 

 Isevij columna brevi cirrhata. 



Flowers about thirty in a spike, green with a brown stain 

 upon the lip. This species is distinct from all previously 

 published, but has little beauty. It was communicated to me 

 by Mr. J. Rigby of the Stanhope Nursery, Old Brompton. 

 A figure will shortly be published in this work. 



177. CYMBIDIUM j)M5e*ce/w ; foliis ensiformibus striatis apice oblique bi- 

 dentatis, racemo brevi pendulo, bracteis minimis squamseformibus, sepalis 

 petalisque linearibus acutiusculis, labelli trilobi basi saccati intus pube- 

 scentis laciniis lateralibus acutis intermedia oblonga subundulata obtusa, 

 lamelUs rectiusculis medio inten-uptis. 



A beautiful species, collected at Sincapore by Mr. Cuming, 

 and flowered by Messrs. Loddiges. It has a short raceme of 

 rich purple flowers, bordered and spotted with brilliant yellow. 

 It is nearly allied to C. Finlaysonianum and hicolor, but its
