dentatis dentibiis bis incisis, filamentis f-1^ unc. tantum liberis crateri- 

 formiter dispositis, stylo circiter bitinciam excluso. — W.Herbert. 



This is one of Mr. Hartvveg's discoveries ; but it is uncer- 

 tain where the bulbs were found. Among the various forms 

 of the genus it is known by the long cylinder of its crown, 

 which gives it a sort of " hose in hose" appearance, whence its 

 specific name. It blossomed at Spofforth in April last. 



54. DENDROBIUM chlorops. 



D. chlorops ; caulibus teretibus, floribus lax^ corymbosis, pedicellis filiformi- 

 bus glaucescentibus, sepalis lineari-oblongis, petalis duplo latioribus 

 obovatis, labelli trilobi plani lobis lateralibus nanis acutis intermedio 

 lineari-oblongo apice paulo latiore basi villoso, cornu brevi conico. 



A species from Bombay, with the habit of D. Heyneanum. 

 It has small flowers of a pale nankin colour, while the base of 

 the lip is a light pea green ; this gives the flower the appear- 

 ance of having a green eye, whence the specific name. It 

 has lately flowered with Messrs. Loddiges. 



65. CATASETUM ochraceum. 



C. ochraceum ; sepalis petalisque ovatis secundis, labello cucullato integev- 

 rimo Isevi apice in rostrum brevem latum obtusum carnosum contracto, 

 cirrhis brevibus. 



A new species in the way of C. luridum, with deep yellow 

 ochre-coloured flowers. The lip is hooded, but contracted at 

 the point into a kind of beak, thick at the edges and short. 

 Mr. Hartweg sent it to the Horticultural Society from the 

 Hacienda del Hospicio, in the province of Bogota. 



bQ. BOLBOPHYLLUM Cheiri. 



B, Cheiri ; foliis oblongis coriaceis basi canaliculatis apice emarginatis, 

 floribus solitariis (magnis), sepalis lanceolatis lateralibus basi ventricosis 

 petalisque e lata basi linearibus acuminatis in man6s speciem velut 

 digiti conuiventibus, labello mobili basi ovato concavo apice longe ros- 

 trato, columna edentula, polliniis 4 geminatis. 



This very singular species was sent from Manilla to 

 Mr. Loddiges, with whom it blossomed a few days since. 

 The flowers are very large for the genus, the sepals being as 

 much as an inch and a lialf long, a clear olive green, neatly
