28. *EPIDENDRUM chloranthum. 



E. chloranthum ; pseudobulbosum, foliis coriaceis ligulatis apice rotundatis ob- 

 scure bilobis insequalibus, racemo erecto paniculato, sepalis petalisque sub- 

 sequalibus lineari-lanceolatis obovatis, labelli trilobi liberi lobis lateralibus 

 linearibus obtusis inflexis intermedio ovato acuminato crispulo multo brevi- 

 oribus : disco venis elevatis calloso. 



A green flowered species, allied to the Encyclia viridiflora 

 of the Botanical Magazine, t. 2831, from which it differs in 

 having the leaves obtusely and obliquely two-lobed, in the 

 side divisions of the labellum being much shorter than the 

 middle lobe, and in the flowers being destitute of the dull 

 purple tinge found in that species. It is a native of Deme- 

 rara, whence it was sent by Mr. Schomburgk to Messrs. 

 Loddiges. The flowers are a pale green without spots, and 

 appear in March. 



29. MILTONIA Candida. 



M. Candida ; sepalis petalisque lanceolatis acuminatis, labello subrotundo obso- 

 lete quadrilobo undulato, columna pubescente basi bicorni. 



A most charming new species of this beautiful genus, of 

 which a single specimen flowered imperfectly with Messrs. 

 Loddiges a few weeks since. The sepals and petals are a 

 rich yellowish brown. The labellum is pure white, with 

 some darker markings, of a bright pink, in the middle. The 

 flower is nearly three inches in diameter. A figure of it 

 will be given at some future time.
