18. PIMELEA sjjectabilis. Lindley's Swan River Plants, p. xli. no. 193. 



This, one of the very prettiest of gi'eenhouse shrubs, has 

 been raised in the garden of the Horticultural Society, from 

 Swan River seeds. It has glaucous narrow leaves, arranged 

 in four rows, and large heads of pink flowers, collected within 

 broad floral leaves, richly stained and bordered with crimson. 



19. PHOLIDOTA undulata. Lindl. Gen. & Sp. Orch. p. 37. 



A native of the East Indies, whence it has been sent to 

 Messrs. Loddiges by Dr. Wallich. It has ovate pseudo- 

 bulbs tapering to the base ; a pair of narrow leaves ; and a 

 drooping raceme of small pale dull reddish flowers. It pos- 

 sesses little beauty. 



20. EPIDENDRUM gladiatum. Lindl. Gen. & Sp. Orch. p. 106. 



A Mexican species with green flowers like those of E. 

 nutans, but not panicled, nor proceeding from a spathe, and 

 smelling very iike a sliced cucumber. Messrs. Loddiges 

 have received it from Bolanos. Some of the old stems were 

 three feet long. This is a much greater stature than has 

 been before observed; for neither the specimens gathered by 

 Mr. Hartweg at the Rancho del Ojo de Agua, nor those of 

 Pa von in] Mr. Lambert's herbarium are more than a foot 

 high. The species belongs to the section Amphiglottium. 



21. LMLIA. albida. 



Mr. Barker has communicated a curious monster of this 

 pretty plant, with the dorsal sepal united to the back of the 

 column by means of a thin plate resembling a small knife- 

 blade. What is very singular every flower of the specimen 

 was in the same state. 



22. IMPATIENS rosea ; annua, caule pubescente, foliis lineari-oblongis 

 serratis, pedunculis unifloris aggregatis axillaribus foliis quadruplo bre- 

 vioribus, sepalo dorsali mucronato inermi, calcare brevi ventricoso 

 apice constricto incurvo, petalorum biloborum lacinia. nana rotundata. 

 majore oblonga dimidiata, obtusa. planiuscula. 



Another Indian species of this oriental genus, the seeds of 

 which were presented to the Horticultural Society by the
