All inconspicuous species from Belize, introduced by 

 Messrs. Loddiges. The flowers are pale yellow, and small. 

 The branches of a short panicle are fleshy, club-shaped, and 

 studded with sessile flowers. 



72. NOTYLIA pubescens. 



N. pubescens ; foliis oblongis subiindulatis subconcavis, racemo folio longiore 

 pendulo, labello rhomboideo basi carinato et columna pubescentibus, 

 sepalis lateralibus basi tantum connatis. 



A Brazilian species with dull orange-coloured, rather 

 sweet-scented, flowers. It is readily known by its downy lip 

 and column. Imported by Messrs. Loddiges. 



73. DENDROBIUM sanguinolentum. 



D. (Eudendrobium) sanguhiolentum ; caulibus terctibus pendulis, foliis oyato- 

 lanceolatis, floribus gemellis, sepalis petalisque ovatis obtusiusculis pa- 

 tulis, labello trilobo glabro : lacinia intermedia retusa nunc utrinque 

 plicata ; ungue concavo brevi appendice cornuformi pubescente retrorsa 

 aucto. 



Another novelty sent from Ceylon to His Grace the Duke 

 of Northumberland by Mr. Nightingale. It is a plant of 

 great beauty ; with pendulous stems like those of D. Pierardi, 

 but of a delicate purple when young ; the leaves too are 

 stained underneath and at the edges with the same colour. 

 The flowers are as large as those of D. aggregatum, of a clear 

 fawn colour, with the tips of the segments and lip stained 

 with a deep rich violet. There is moreover a scarlet spot in 

 the middle of the lip. Of this fine plant there is a variety 

 without the violet spots, and with somewhat larger flowers. 

 Both kinds have recently flowered at Syon, and will soon find 

 a place among the figures of this work.

Lindl. Gen. mid Sp. Orch. p. 200. 



This very pretty and long-lost species has again appeared 

 in the Glasgow garden, where it had been sent from Pernam- 

 buco. It has a graceful panicled habit, and a curious bearded 

 bright yellow lip, the side lobes of which are large and yellow, 

 while the middle lobe is obsolete, fringed and spotted with
