108. BOSSLEA paucifofia; glabra, inermis, rarnis compressis alatis, foliis 

 paucis obovatis oblongis linearibusve, pedicellis folio brevioribus, legu- 

 mine glabro latitudine pluries longiore. Bentham mss. 



A little Swan River bush, with winged branches, a few 

 scattered obovate leaves, and yellow and brown flowers of by 

 no means a striking appearance. I have been favoured with 

 specimens by R. Mangles, Esq. of Sunning Hill, and by 

 Messrs. Lowe and Co. of Clapton, and it has also flowered in 

 the garden of the Horticultural Society. 



109. EPIDENDRUM (Euepidendrum ?) lacertinum; floribus racemosis, ova- 

 riis subsecundis longissimis pendulis bracteis setaceis multoties longiori- 

 bus, sepalis lanceolatis acuminatis, petalis lineari-lanceolatis, labelli 

 adnati trilobi basi bilamellati laciniis laterabbus triangularibus intermedia 

 lineari acuminata elongate antbera immersa, ovario cuniculato. 



A singular plant from Guatemala, for which I am obliged 

 to Mr. Bateman. I have only seen the flowers ; but as it is 

 stated to have the habit of Galeandra Baueri it probably 

 belongs to the section of this genus which I have called 

 Euepidendrum. The flowers hang down on long stalk-like 

 ovaries from one side of a short raceme. They are bright 

 green with the exception of the column, which is yellow, and 

 the lip which is a little stained with purple, and has very 

 much the appearance of a lizard's tail, the hind legs being 

 outside the flower, and the head and shoulders buried within 

 the cup. 



110. CYPRIPEDIUM (5. Acaulia) barbatum; acaule, foliis coriaceis acutis 

 canaliculars maculatis, scapo pubescente, sepalo dorsali cuspidato obtuso 

 ciliato margine revoluto, petalis lineari-oblongis subundulatis fimbriatis 

 niargine superiore verrucoso, stamine sterili lunato pubescente. 



A very fine herbaceous plant, allied to C. venustum, 

 insigne, and purpuratum, gathered at Sincapore, on Mount 

 Ophir by Mr. Cuming. It has flowers richly stained with 

 purple, and streaked with green veins upon a white ground. 

 It has flowered with Messrs. Loddiges. 



111. ORNITH6GALUM(Clilorogalum)^«n'caifM/w; foliis glaucis longissi- 

 mis canaliculars bumifusis, panicula divaricata, perianthii laciniis line- 

 aribus undulatis apice cobserentibus mox patentibus, filamentis subulatis 

 apice incurvis, ovarii loculis dispermis.
