91. LEOCHlLUS sanguinolentus. 



h. sanguinolentus ; labello pandurato sepalis luulto majore apice bilobo : 

 laciniis subrotuudis imbricatis superficie plana Isevi supra basin 3-tuber- 

 culata basi ipsa villosa, columuae alis abbreviatis, clinaudi'ii dorso elevato, 

 anthera parva. 



This also comes from La Guayra, whence Mr. Barker 

 received it. Although the flowers are small they are very 

 beautiful, havin_^ a deep crimson lip richly studded with clear 

 purple spots. In the smalhiess of its anthers, the extension 

 of the anther-bed behind into an elevated rim, and in the 

 shortness of the column wings, it is somewhat different from 

 the rest of the genus. I have only seen a couple of flowers. 



92. EPIDENDRUM ceratistes. 



E. ceratistes (Encyclinm III.*) ; pseudobulbis conicis 2-3-pliyllis, foliis 

 ensiformibus strictis scapo duplo brevioribus, panicula longa cernua 

 racemifovmi ramulis Isevibus divaricatis, sepalis petalisque obovatis 

 acntissimis subconformibus (lierbaceis), labelli trilobi lobis lateralibus 

 erectis obtusis ovatis apice recurvis intermedio subrotundo unguiculato 

 acuminate crispo striate, ungue medio depresso versus basin 4-costato, 

 columna bicornuta, antliera tricostata. 



A native of the Spanish Main, whence it was brought by 

 Mr. Hartweg to the Horticultural Society, with whom it 

 flowered in October last. Its panicle is very narrow, and 

 about three feet long ; the leaves resemble those of E. vir- 

 gatum, but are not so glaucous ; the flowers are extremely 

 similar to those of E. selligerum, but they are a clear green 

 with a whitish lip, and the column has two horn-like arms. 

 It is rather sweet-scented. 



93. PHYCELLA obtusa. 



p. ohtiisa ; folio synanthio sesquipedali horizontali oblongo in petiolum long^ 

 angustato (4 poll, lato), scapo stricto tereti glauco subspirali, umbeUa 

 G-flora pedunculis tubo brevioribus, tubo cylindraceo basi abrupte obtuse 

 sexcostato (carnee) apice (viridi) patule, staminibus style multo bre- 

 vioribus. 



This species is so very like P. chloracra, that it might 

 be mistaken for it ; but it has stamens considerably shorter 

 than the style, and the tube, instead of being green at the
