1 73. CIRRHOPETALUM maculosum ; floribus geminis solitariisque, scpalo 

 supremo oblongo acuto lateralibus lineari-oblongis obtusis margine an- 

 teriore pone basin uniplicato, petalis sepalo supremo brevioribus oblongis 

 obtusis, label lo ovato obtuso convexo apice recurvo, columna bidentata? 

 (polliniis 4 subsequnlibus). 



This is an Indian species of Orchidaceous plant, sent to 

 Messrs. Loddiges by Dr. Wallich (158), with the habit of 

 Bollophyllum affine, or leopardinum, but with the long late- 

 ral sepals of a Cirrhopetalum. It has the flower-stalks and 

 flowers of a very pale green, finely speckled with dull purple. 

 The lateral sepals are nearly an inch long, and have a single 

 fold on their inner margin near the base. The species has 

 little beauty. 



1/4. ONCIDIUM Barkeri; pseudobulbis ovalibus compressis parum angu- 

 latis dipbyllis, foliis angustis ereetis membranaceis manifeste petiolo vagi- 

 nante articulatis racemi cemui simplicis pedunculo brevioribus, sepalis 

 liberis petalisque lanceolatis undulatis sequalibus patentibus, labelli lobis 

 lateralibus parvis subquadratis intermeclio transverso apice inflexo vix 

 emarginato, tuberculo oblongo basi 2-dentato apice obsolete trilobo an- 

 tice excavato, columnar alis brevibus rotundatis. 



A fine species, imported from Mexico by Mr. Barker. 

 It has very large flowers of a clear but pale yellow on the lip, 

 and rich brown spotted sepals and petals. The lip is of 

 unusual size, being more than one inch and a half across. It 

 is readily known by its short leaves having a distinct arti- 

 culation, with a sheathing petiole nearly an inch long. The 

 raceme is simple, drooping, of five or six flowers, and altoge- 

 ther a foot Ion of. 



175. ONCIDIUM nebulosum ; pseudobulbis ovalibus ancipitibus nebulosi 

 diphyllis utriuque 3-costatis, foliis angustis chartaceis panicula angusta 

 brevioribus, sepalis liberis petalisque lanceolatis undulatis patentibus, 

 labelli lobis lateralibus nanis rotundatis intermedio subrotundo bilobo, 

 tuberculo sulcato tridentato utrinque unidentato, columnar elongatse alis 

 acinaciformibus denticulatis. 



A fine species, with something the appearance of O. re- 

 flexum, but readily known by its clouded pseudo-bulbs. The 

 flowers are large, rather pale yellow, with faint spots of brown 

 at the base of the lip and on the sepals and petals. It is a 

 native of Guatemala, whence it has been sent to the Horticul- 

 tural Society by Mr. Hartweg.
