C. xiphiifolium with spotless pallid flowers is very near 

 this species, and is perhaps a variety ; but it appears to be 

 distinguished by its lower bracts being nearly as long as the 

 ovary, and by the ovate flat labellum, in which no undula- 

 tion exists. 



Fig. I. is the labellum of C. ensifolium ^ ; fig. 2. of C. 

 xiphiifolium. 



Messrs. Loddiges and Mr. Barker of Springfield have 

 lately flowered a most beautiful new Brazilian Orchidaceous 

 plant, which will soon be published in this work. It will be 

 called Miltonia spcctabil'is, the character of the genus being 

 very briefly the following : — 



Perianthinm explanatum, confoniie. Labellum indivisum diktatum cum ovario 

 continuum basi cuniculatum. Columna et pollinia Oncidii. 



Sp. \. M. spectabilis. Pseudobulbosa. Vaginte scapi uniflori equitantes. Sepala 

 et petala pallide viridicitrina. Labellum grande violaceum.
