lateral lobes curve over the column, but are divided very 

 deeply from the middle lobe by a wide slit; the middle 

 lobe itself has its surface broken up into numerous gra- 

 nulations, something in the way of C. guttata. It is 

 scarcely possible to doubt that the plant figured in the 

 Botanical Magazine as a variety of C. guttata, is this 

 species. The Brazilian origin attributed to it is no 

 doubt erroneous, like that of many plants from the 

 Woburn collection. 



Section 2. Lip without the lateral lobes, and flat below the 



column. 



17. C. AclandicB (Lindl. in Bot. Reg. 1840, t. 48.); caulibus 



cylindraceis striatis decumbentibus, foliis 2 oblongis, flo- 

 ribus subsolitariis, sepalis petalisque herbaceis lanceolatis 

 sequalibus incurvis maculatis, labelli plani calvi hypo- 

 chilio dilatato patulo subrepando epichilio orbiculari- 



reniformi emarginato. Brazil. Flowers dull olive 



green, nearly the colour of C. granulosa. Lip dull violet. 

 The smallest species yet known. 



18. C. hicolor (Lindl. in Bot. Reg. sub t. 1919.); foliis ovato- 

 oblongis angustis caule tereti elato triplo brevioribus, 

 sepalis lanceolatis falcatis acutis, petalis parum latioribus 

 subundulatis obtusis, labello indiviso piano apice dilatato 



rotundato crenato convexo. Brazil. Stems two 



to three feet long. Sepals and petals tawny ; labellum 

 bright purple, with a lanceolate streak in the centre, 

 white slightly spotted with purple. The flowers are 

 slightly fragrant. This was introduced by Mr. Pontey 

 of Plymouth, and flowered in his nursery in 1 838. 



19. C. Domi7igensis (Lindl. Orch, no. 11.); caule brevi ob- 

 longo annulate squamoso, folio ovali-oblongo coriaceo, 

 scapo terminali longissimo stricto apice racemose 7-8 floro, 

 sepalis lineari-lanceolatis acutis petalis oblongis obtusius- 

 culis triplo angustioribus, labello indiviso obovato obtuso 

 plicato-crispo emarginato cucullato. — - — St. Domingo. 



^In the absence of suflicient evidence as to this 



species, which is no. 231 of Jaeger's collections, it may 

 be conjectured to be a Lselia rather than a Cattleya. It 

 is found on logwood trees in the wood near Miragoane, 

 in St. Domingo, where it flowers in April.
