A free-growing Epiphyte with the habit of E. vitellinum, 

 but with more glaucous leaves. Its flowers are small, dirty 

 green stained with brown, arranged in a very long lax grace- 

 ful panicle, the branches of which are simple, and sometimes 

 as much as a foot long, with nearly twenty flowers on each. 

 The lip is whitish yellow. It has flowered in the garden of 

 the Horticultural Society, from plants sent from Mexico by 

 Mr. Hartweg. It was first found near Teoxomulco, in the 

 province of Oaxaca, by Karwinski. 



190. GESNERA longifolia; caule berbaceo crasso tereti tomentoso, foliis 

 oppositis et subalternis petiolatis lanceolatis crenato-serratis utrinque 

 angustatis, pedicellis ad axillas foliorum summorum fasciculato-verticil- 

 latis unifloris petiolo paulo longioribus in racemum terminalem dispo- 

 sitis, corolla cylindraceo-ventricosa villosa : limbo regulari, glandulis 5 

 linearibus, staminibus inclusis. 



This is a fine plant from Guatemala, sent to the Horti- 

 cultural Society by Mr. Hartweg. It has a stout stem about 

 two feet high, narrow thick drooping leaves from five to eight 

 inches long, and rich crimson flowers an inch in length, and 

 unusually thick. It is in the way of G. allagophylla, but 

 much handsomer. 



191. MORxMODES buccinator. Botanical Register, 1840. misc. no. 9. 



Of this singular plant Messrs. Loddiges have obtained a 

 variety from La Guayra, which, with all the form of the 

 original, has the flowers dull orange spotted with brown. It 

 is handsomer than the first sort, and looks at first sight some- 

 thing like M. aromaticum. 



192. CENTROPOGON cordifolius. Bentbam PI. Hartweg, p. 77. no. 539. 



A greenhouse plant from Guatemala, where it was found 

 by Mr. Hartweg. It has fine broad heart-shaped light green 

 shining leaves, and deep rose-coloured flowers, resembling 

 those of Centropogon (Lobelia) surinamensis. It has just 

 flowered (Nov. 1841) in a cool stove in the garden of the 

 Horticultural Society.
