 Although a good deal like E. nutans, this species is 

 really very distinct, and indeed far handsomer ; in con- 

 sequence of the rich purplish brown spots with which the 

 sepals and petals are profusely decorated, Like so many 

 of the order this species varies a good deal in the amount 

 of toothing observable in its lip. In the original speci- 

 mens the divisions were perfectly entire ; in other plants 

 they are all toothed, or both the one and the other.

This plant, found in New Granada near Guaduas by 

 Mr. Hartweg, is evidently akin to Eurycles of Amboyna and 

 Australia, fonning a link between that genus and Griffinia. 

 It is not improbable, that the white bristle on each side the 

 filament may be found obsolete in other species, for the genus 

 Stenomesson shews great diversity of sach appendages, even 

 in plants which are evidentlv varieties of one species, and 

 differ in no other respect. This plant, except in the inflo- 

 rescence, has much the appearance of an Eucrosia, but with 

 the blade of the leaf more horizontally depressed. I appre- 

 hend that it will have fleshy seeds.— IF. H.
