91. PHAIUS bicolor. Lindl. g. ct sp. orch. p. I '28. Serlum Orchida- 

 ceum, t. 25. 



This, which is one of the handsomest sjDccies in the fine 

 g*enus to which it belongs, has flowered with Messrs. Loddiges, 

 who imported it from Ceylon. Its sepals and petals are, in 

 that island, a very bright deep red, and the lip is yellow; but 

 owing to nnhcalthiness or some other cause the colours of 

 Messrs. Loddiges' plant were by no means of their native 

 brilliancy : for it is certain that they are fully as bright and 

 rich as in the fio-ure in the Sertum Orchidaceum.

92. GOODYERA rwiicMWc^a (Neottia rubicunda. Blume Bijdr.p. 408). 



This plant has flowered with Messrs. Loddiges, who re- 

 ceived it from Manilla, from Mr. Cnming. It has the habit 

 of Goodyera procera, but is smaller ; the scape and spike 

 are rather more than a foot high, downy, and of a dull 

 cinnamon brown. The flowers are also downy and of the 

 same colour, with the exception of the lip, which is white, 

 and densely fringed inside with glandular hairs. The 

 whole of Blume's 3rd section of Neottia appears to belong 

 to Goodyera. 



93. MAXILLARIA lentiginosa ; bracteis lat^ ovatis acuminatis, labelli lobo 



medio ovato-oblongo obtuso, crista transversa medio processu quadrate tri- 

 dcntato aucta, aiithera) apice incurvo ; alioquin M. stupeiioidi similis. 



A plant very like Maxillaria stapelioides ; but the sepals 

 are more acute, the purple spots redder, more distinct, and 

 less run into bars ; the lip is of the same colour as the petals, 

 and its transverse crest has a square three-toothed ])rocess 

 in the middle. Imported from Brazil by Messrs. Loddiges. 



94. VANDA congcsfa ; foliis oblongls coriaceis apice obliquis mucroiiulatis, 



spicis capitatis subscssilibus, pcriaiitbio canioso fra!j,ili, scpalis obloiigo-line- 

 aribus petalisque lineari-spatbulatis obtusissimis, labcllo oblongo limbo sub- 

 deltoideo crcnulato papilloso basi excavato piibesccntc, coluiniiai angulis 

 mucronatis. 



A small yellow and brown-flowered species from Ceylon, 

 communicated by Messrs. Loddiges. It is near V. multi flora 

 in the structure of the flowers,^])iit the dense inflorescence 

 and bearded sac of the labellum are obvious marks of dis- 

 tinction.
