a mass of Guatemala Orchidaceae bought at one of Mr, 

 Skinner's sales. It is in the way of A. pedunculata, but the 

 flowers are larger, the border is much more flat, and the 

 colour is a deep rich rose instead of the clear orange of A. 

 pedunculata. We hope soon to be able to figure this. 



104. EPIDEI^DRUM limbatum. 



E. limbatum (Encyclium) ; omnino facie E. glauci, sed sepalis petalisque sub- 

 rotundo-ovatis, columuse appendice truncata dentata tenui, floribus 

 duplo majoribus. 



A Guatemala plant, purchased by Messrs. Loddiges at one 

 of Mr. Skinner's sales. It has quite the habit of E. glaucum, 

 but is much larger, and its flowers have roundish sepals and 

 petals, like those of E, squalidum. The appendage at the 

 back of the anther is thin, truncate and toothed, not rounded, 

 fleshy and entire. It flowered in August last. The name 

 alludes to a narrow yellowish border which surrounds the dull 

 purplish brown sepals and petals. It has a very slight smell, 

 like that of cobler's wax.

K, picta ; pseudobxilbis ovatis, foliis solitariis linearibus canaliculatis patulis 

 emarginatis, scapo paniculate, labelli laciniis lateralibus triangularibus 

 intermedia elongata lineari disco bilamellato, columnse brachiis 2 glan- 

 dulosis. 



A rather pretty small flowered Orchidaceous plant, with 

 the habit of Sarcanthus pallidus. Its flowers are white and 

 green, with a dull purple stain at the point of the four seg- 

 ments of the perianth, and th^ same colour on the disk of the 

 lip, leaving a white border all round. We have received it 

 from M. Van Houtte of Ghent, who informs us that it was 

 obtained at Bantam, in the virgin forests of Datarbjaay and 

 Bodjomanik, on the river Tjileman, by Mr. Adolph Papeleu, 

 one of the partners in M. Van Houtte s Nursery.
