3. WARREA cyanea. 



\V. cyanea ; spica brevi, bracteis ovarii longitudine, sepalis ovatis acutis, 

 petalis snbconforraibus, labello subrotundo-cuneato apiculato undulato 

 lineis quinque elevatis. 



The purest blue known in the vegetable kingdom colours 

 the lip of this beautiful flower, which is otherwise white. It 

 has quite the habit of Warrea tricolor, but is very much smaller 

 in all its parts. Its most distinctive character is found in the 

 form of its lip, which has a distinct point, and five ribs, not 

 three, near the base. Messrs. Loddiges imported it from 

 Columbia, and it is no. 860 of their last catalogue. 



4. HEXADESMIA crurigera. 

 (Hexopia crurigera, Bateman mss.) 



H. crurigera ; caule fusiformi, foliis exacte linearibus, racemis flexuosis pau- 

 cifloris, bracteis ovatis membranaceis, mento valde producto, labello 

 obovato alte bilobo. 



A small-flowered inconspicuous Epiphyte, of no beauty, 

 introduced from Guatemala to Mr. Bateman, with whom it 

 flowered some years since, when it received the name of 

 Hexopia. Its flowers are not half the size of H. fasciculata. 



5. HEXADESMIA micrantha. 



H. micrantha ; racemo multifloro, bracteis linearibus acuminatis membra- 

 naceis, sepalis acuminatis, labelli trilobi laciniis lateralibus rotuudatis 

 intermedia apiculata. 



The flowers of this are very much smaller than even those 

 of H. crurigera, and white with a very little green. It is from 

 Guatemala, and is the no. 389 of Messrs. Loddiges' catalogue.
