Cuba. -A very slender species with narrow grassy 



leaves, pale rosy flowers, and a distinct entire point to 

 the middle lobe of the lip. The tubercle is very pecu- 

 liar; not fleshy as in the allied species, but consisting of 

 a pair of plates converging just below the apex, and 

 another pair of more fleshy calli near the base. 



II II Lip with a distinct middle elevated ridge, and two calli 



at the base. 



18. ^. Blepharistes (Bar]^er in Wit.) ; seipalis ovalibus, petalis 



acuminatis, labelli quadrilobi laciniis sequalibus lineari- 

 bus apice multifidis linea media elevata callisque duobus 



semiliberis arcuatis ad basin. La Guayra. This 



plant was received by Mr. Barker from Linden. It is 

 closely allied to E. elongatum ; but difl*ers in the struc- 

 ture of the labellum, which approaches nearer to that of 

 E. Schomburgkii. The sepals and lip are a rich rose 

 colour ; the column has the deepest tint of the garnet, 

 which gives the flowers a very gay appearance. 



19. E. imatophyllum (L. no. 52.) ; foliis distichis ligulatis 

 obtusis subemarginatis, caule simplici apice aphyllo vagi- 

 nato, sepalis lineari-lanceolatis patentibus, petalis duplo 

 latioribus serratis, labelli trilobi carinati basi bicornis lobis 

 lateralibus nanis laciniatis : intermedio cuneato-rotun- 



dato sub undulato basi serrato. Demerara. Flowers 



pale rose colour, larger than in E. ellipticura. Leaves 

 very long, strap-shaped. The column is sometimes 

 green, and the same colour occurs to a small extent in 

 the sepals. 



20. E. radicans (Pavon. Mss. L. no. 35. E. rhizophorum, 



Bateman in Bot. Reg. 1838. misc. 10.); foliis distichis 

 subcordatis ovatis obtusis, caule simplici apice aphyllo 

 vaginato, sepalis petalisque lanceolatis acutis patentibus, 

 labelli carinati basi bicallosi lobis lateralibus rotundatis 

 denticulatis intermedio cuneato apice fimbriato emar- 



ginato utrinque integro. Mexico, Guatemala. One 



of the finest of its race ; with flowers as much as 1^ inch
