burgkii. The species in its natural state is most beautiful ; 

 a specimen before me from Mr. Hartweu^, bears a many- 

 flowered panicle, loaded with close-set nodding racemes. In 

 consequence of having examined an imperfect specimen from 

 Messrs. Loddiges, I lately committed the error of regarding 

 this as a new species, which I named Ep. bisetum. The latter 

 name has therefore to be cancelled. 



3. ERIA profusa. 



E. pj'ofiisa (Lanatae); pseudobulbis ovalibus apice dipliyllis, foliis oblongis 

 striatis racemis pubescentibus multiiioris brevioribus, bracteis squama;- 

 formibus pedicellis brevioribus, sepalis tomentosis, petalis lineari-ob- 

 longis obtusis, labello trilobo laciniis lateralibus erectis Isevibus inter- 

 media, subrotunda rugosa apice tuberculo solitario oblongo cristata. 



A species from Ceylon, w^here it was found by Mr. 

 Nisfhtintrale, who sent it to his Grace the Duke of Northum- 

 berland, in whose garden at Syon it flowered in Nov. 1841. 

 The flowers appear in numerous racemes, nearly a foot long, 

 and are soft with brown down. The labellum is bright light 

 green. I perceived no smell in the specimens I examined. 

 It is a species of little beauty. 



4. SACCOLABIUM ochraceum. 



S. ocA?'aceM/rt ; foliis distichis coriaceis apice obliqu^ bilobis, racemis subra- 

 mosis, sepalis petalisque liuearibus obtusis carnosis (luteis rubro-fasci- 

 atis), labelli lamiua subsagittata recurva papillosa margine erosa, calcare 

 obtuse. 



A native of Ceylon, whence it w^as sent by the late Sir 

 Wilmot Horton to Messrs. Loddiges. It has much the 

 appearance of Cleisostoma maculosum, but it is a true Sac- 

 colabium. The flowers are small, of an ochrey yellow colour, 

 marked with transverse broken bands of dull red. 



5. BARKERIA Lindleyana. 



B. Lindleyana (Bateman mss.); foliis ovalibus acutis, bracteis linearibus pe- 

 dunculo multo brevioribus, labello exacte oblongo apiculato bicarinato 

 carina altera sub apice iuterjecta, unguiculato piano basi columnoe ad- 

 nato, columna clavata alata apice tridentata immaculata. 



This beautiful plant has exactly the appearance of Epi- 

 dendrum Skinneri, with which, at first sight, it would perhaps
