A native of Dcmerara, with the habit of Catasetum bar- 

 batum, formerly Myanthus. There are sixteen or more 

 flowers in a raceme, of a dull green, richly spotted with deep 

 blackish purple. The lip is light green, spotted wdth the 

 same dark colour ; above the base it is hollowed out ; above 

 the hollow it is furnished wdth a strong mflexed white horn, 

 v^'hich rises from a somewhat rugged base ; and the margin 

 is broken up into slender stifi^ processes, which are evidently 

 an incomplete state of the fringes found on the lip of Cata- 

 setum cristatum, barbatum, &c. Communicated by Messrs. 

 Loddiges, (no. 544). 



183. CATASETUM callosum ; petalis concoloribus lineari-lanceolatis sepalo 

 dorsali conformi suppositis, labello ovato-oblongo obtuso basin versus 

 saccato supra saccum. callo magno (aurantiaco) instructo margine obso- 

 lete crenato, columnte acuminatse cirrhis vix ultra callum extensis. 



In habit this plant is exactly like Catasetum tridentatum, 

 var. floribundum, but its flowers are quite difl'erent. The 

 sepals and petals are of a dull reddish brown, without spots ; 

 the column is of the same colour, which may perhaps be best 

 compared to that of old spoiled port wine. The lip is green, 

 flat, with a yellow tubercle near the base above the hollow, 

 and a stain of the same colour near the apex. It was im- 

 ported by Messrs. Loddiges from La Guayra, (no. ddSy 



184. MYCAPtANTHES obliqaa; foliis lato-linearibus carnosis canaliculatis 

 apice oblique emarginatis scapo brevioribus, sepalis lateralibus cariuatis, 

 labelli cuneati 5-lobi caUo apicali majore axipube densa decidua farinam 

 referente vestita. 



A fleshy-leaved plant from Sincapore, with very small 

 white flowers, covered slightly with rusty down. It was im- 

 ported by Mr. Cuming, and flowered with Messrs. Loddiges, 

 (no. 121).
