Company. It forms a bush with pale green lanceolate leaves, 

 taper-pointed, stalked and covered with soft hairs, especially 

 on the underside, which do not however give it at all a grey 

 appearance. The stipules are long, membranous, and strongly 

 veined. The flowers are small and white, and are produced 

 profusely in close panicles at the end of the branches. 



145. EPIDENDRUM Grahami ; pseudo-bulbis ovatis diphyllis, scapo ter- 

 minal^ racemo plurifloro, periantliio patente, sepalis lato-linearibus, pe- 

 talis spathulatis, labello trilobo basi longe bilamellato, laciniis lateralibus 

 ovatis acutis, intermedia rotundata, crispata, columna apice utrinque 

 dente obtuso, anthera, profunde sulcata. Botanical Magazine, t. 3885. 



This is stated to be a native of Mexico, and to have 

 flowered in the Botanic Garden, Edinburgh. It has a white 

 lip streaked with crimson veins, and a yellowish-green calyx, 

 and corolla stained with dull purple at the ends. I do not 

 see how it differs from Epidendrum altissimum, except in 

 being a small imperfectly formed specimen. All the panicled 

 Epidendrums are simply racemose when weak, and vice versa. 



146. HYMENOCALLIS panamensis; foliis erectis acuminatis loratis mar- 

 gine pallidis, scapo ancipiti, umbella, multiflora, floribus sessilibus, tubo 

 6-pollicari, limbi laciniis 4-pollicaribus, corona obconica libera inter sta- 

 mina obtuse dentata. 



A beautiful fragrant plant, sent from Panama by J. Cade, 

 Esq., H. M. Consul in that country. It has erect leaves with 

 a slight white border and a tapering point. The scape is 

 rather more than a foot high and two-edged. Ten or twelve 

 flowers grow in an umbel, with a tube six inches long, green 

 at the lower part, white at the upper. The limb is white, 

 with linear segments four inches long. The coronet is quite 

 white, obconical, plaited, and with one blunt tooth between the 

 stamens. The filaments are green ; the anthers deep orange 

 colour. This appears to be quite different from all the species 

 hitherto described, but nearest to H. Harrisii, whose scape 

 is only compressed and not two-edged, and whose flowers are 

 smaller. It has flowered in the Garden of the Horticultural 

 Society.
