 78, WARREA bidentata. 



W. bidentata ; bracteis pcdicello 4-plo brcvioribus, labelli apice bidentati 

 venis valde couvexis flabellatis lamellis altis intermedia dupl(!) majore. 



At first sight we took this for Warrea tricolor. Its lip is 

 however regular, slit at the end, the veins are much more con- 

 vex, and the central plates thinner and deeper than in that 

 species. The bracts too are not half the length. Sent from 

 the Caraccas to Sigismund Rucker, Esq. with whom it 

 flowered in the beginning of September. 



79. ERIA vestita. 



(Dendrobium vestitura, Wall. Cat. no. 2005. Lindl. gen, 



Sr sp. no. 33.) 



E. caulibiis pendiilis villis deciduis dens^ vestitis, foliis coriaceis lanceolatis 

 apice obliquis obtusia integris supra sparse subti\s densissime villosis, 

 racemis elongatia xnultifloris flexuosis bracteis ovatis coriaceis persis- 

 tentibus floribus capsulisqne villosis, sepalis lauceolatis lateralibus in 

 cornu obtuso porrecto connatis mucronulatis, petalis conformibus obtusis 

 brevioribus glabris, labelli trilobi laciniis lateralibus obtusis intermedia 

 subrotunda crispa emarginata pilosa per axin linea elevata interrupta 

 velutina dentibusque paucis aucta, lamellis 7 quarum dues lauceolatse 

 sinus fere attingentes et quinque parvse dentiformes. 



This singular plant, with the structure of a woolly Eria, 

 and the habit of a pendulous Dendrobium, is a native of the 

 Indian Archipelago. Dr. Wallich's collectors had it from 

 Sincapore, and Mr. Cuming sent it from Manilla (?) to 

 Messrs. Loddiges. It is singularly clothed with a thick 

 reddish brown hairiness. The flowers are reddish brown 

 externally, white inside, and hang down in pendulous spikes, 

 which are longer than the leaves. 



80. AMARYLLIS Slateriana. 



(Herbert MSS. Amaryllis Banksiana, supra 1842. t. 11.) 



In the opinion of the Dean of Manchester this is not the 

 plant to which he gave the name of Banksiana in his work 

 on Amaryllidacese (p. 279, t. 32. f. 2.), and he proposes that 

 it should bear the name of James Henry Slater, Esq. of 

 Newick Park, near Uckfield, to whom we are indebted for 

 our knowledge of it, and whose great success in cultivating
