■Guatemala. Flowers on long slender scapes, paie green except the 



lip, which is white with green warts. The pseudo-bulbs are rounder at 

 the edge, and more furrowed than is usual in this genus.

A fine species with broad leaves, and large greenish yellow flowers spotted 

 with green ; they vary greatly in size ; in Mr. Hartwog's wild specimens 

 from the Chono they are very small, in a specimen found by ]VIr. Skinner 

 at San Salvador twice as large, in the plant figured in the Botanical 

 Magazine larger still, and in a specimen before me from the garden of 

 the Horticultural Society they are considerably larger than even the last. 

 In the gardens the name of Br. Wrayse is also appUed to B. brachiata, a 

 far handsomer species.

 bracteis patentibus squamseformibus, sepalis petalisque brevioribus linea- 

 ribus acuminatis longissimis, labello supra basin cordato subrhomboideo 



acuminato crispo, lamellis baseos bidentatis obtusis. Guatemala. 



A most noble species, with very large flowers, having brown spots on a 

 pale ground. In a specimen which flowered with Mr. Batcman the 

 lower sepals were fully five inches long. The lip is much waved at the 

 edge, and rather lobed. It is sometimes called B. JVrayce. 



11. B. aristata; racemo secundo nutante multifloro, sepalis linearibus strictis 

 acuminatis lateralibus labello quadruple longioribus, petalis ex ovata 

 basi acuminatis aristatis, labello obovato basi angustato sub apice aristato 

 eecus medium verrucoso : lamellis baseos glabris apice liberis divergen- 

 tibus rotundatis. Guatemala. Flowers the smallest in the genus, 



apparently whole-coloured. Very distinct in the petals, ending in bristle 

 points, and in the presence of a distinct awn beneath the point of the 

 labellum. Only known to me by a dried specimen from Mr. Skinner, 

 without leaves.

 floribus resupinatis, labello oblongo lanceolate acuto undulato crenulato" 



sepalis subsequali. Peru, in dry thickets on the eastern face of the 



Andes, in the district of Chihuamccala, towards Cuchero. The 



flowers are represented as growing in one-sided spikes, not exceeding ten 

 in number, about an inch apart, yellowish-green spotted with purple.
