anther being also pink. It was originally described in the 

 above work from bad and broken dried specimens, and is 

 stated to have the middle lobe of the labellum ovate ; but in 

 reality that part is two-lobed with an intermediate point, 

 each lobe being ovate. The specific character should there- 

 fore be amended thus : 



E. pumila ; foliis anguste lanceolatis acuminatis caulibus teretibus erectis sub- 

 aequalibus, spicis capitatis lateralibus subsessilibus, ovario villoso, sepalis 

 petalisque ovatis acutis basi tanttim pilosis, labelli trilobi basi bilamellati 

 pubescentis lobis lateralibus subulatis patentibus ; intermedio quadrato bilobo 

 apiculo interjecto. 



148. CATTLEYA bicolor. 



Bot. Reg.fol. 1919 in textu. Sertum Orchidaceum, t. 5.f. 1. 



This beautiful species has just flowered with Messrs. Lod- 

 diges. It agrees perfectly with the figure above quoted, 

 and is very remarkable for its labellum wanting the side 

 lobes, so that it is only curved downwards, and cannot 

 wrap up the column as in the other species of the genus. 

 The sepals and petals are a dull tawny olive green, the label- 

 lum is of the deep violet which we find in the centre of that 

 of Cattleya labiata. 



149. CATASETUM Milleri. Loddiges. 



Under this name, given in compliment to Dr. Miller, 

 of H. M. ship Victory, a most zealous collector of rare 

 plants, Mr. Loddiges has distinguished a Catasetum from 

 Brazil, with a stem two feet high, and dull purple spotted 

 flowers with a half green lip, but otherwise very like C. 

 semiapertum. 



150. CLEISOSTOMA rosea. 



C. rosea ; caule folioso, foliis anguste lanceolatis coriaceis acutis, corymbis 

 paucifloris subsessilibus, sepalis lateralibus oblique ovatis acutis supremo 

 petalisque linearibus obtusissimis, labello carnoso lobo medio rotundato late- 

 ralibus crassissimis transverse truncatis, dente operiente lineari acuto. 



This little plant has small pale straw-coloured flowers 

 with a pink lip, and in habit resembles Sarcanthus rostratus. 

 It was sent by Mr. Cuming to Messrs. Loddiges from Ma- 

 nilla.
