28. MILTONIA cuneata. 



M. cuneata; pseudobulbis ovato-oblongis, foliis oblongis striatis subundu- 

 latis, racemo plurifloro, sepalis petalisque lanceolatis undulatis, labello 

 cuneato rotundato basi bilamellato utrinque subrepando, columua medio 

 bidentata, clinandrio integerrimo. 



A beautiful Epiphyte, allied to M. Candida, with flowers 

 nearly four inches in diameter ; the sepals and petals are a 

 rich brown tipped with green. The lip is pure white, with a 

 tinge of pink near the base. It has lately flowered with 

 Messrs. Rollissons. 



29. ANGULOA Clowesii. 



A. Clowesii ; pedunculo unifloro radical! lax^ squamato, flore carnoso resupi- 

 nato, sepalis petalisque ovatis convexis conniventibus, labelli trilobi lobo 

 medio pilose infundibulari bilabiato : labio altero emarginato altero tri- 

 dentato, columna integra. 



At last a genuine species of the genus Anguloa, which has 

 hitherto puzzled every one, has made its appearance in the 

 collection of the Rev. J. Clowes, of Broughton Hall near 

 Manchester, who obtained it from Linden's Columbian col- 

 lections. It is indeed a noble plant. The flowers are four 

 inches in diameter, of a clear lemon colour, with a pure white 

 lip. We refrain from doing more than announcing it, because 

 it will soon be published with a plate in an early number of 

 this work. 



30. GONGORA maculata, var. tricolor. 



This also is from Mr. Clowes's collection, where it was 

 received from Liverpool, with a statement that it came from 

 Peru. It is a most beautiful variety of G. maculata. The 

 ground colour of every part of the flower, except the lip, is 

 clear yellow ; the column and petals are delicately banded 

 with rich sienna brown, and a few large clear distinct blotches 

 of the same colour occur on the sepals. The lip itself is 

 white, with a cinnamon stain on the ends of the lateral tuber- 

 cles and the sides of its upper half.
