 B. coryandra Morreu in Ann. Gand., IV. 295. 

 B. Cowani Ilort. 

 Flowers many times larger ihan in B. arislata, on long slender scapes, pale green 

 except ihe lip Avhich is white wilh green warts. Il is impossibie to doubt that Mor- 

 ren's B. coryandra is to be referred here , for although in his specific character, 

 speaking of the lip, he says, „luberculis nullis," yet this is cntirely contradicted in 

 his French lext. Since no such Brassia is known to inhabit Brazil , ihe stateraent 

 tbat the plant carae from St. Catharine seems to have been a mistake.

B. sepalis lateralibus labello quadruplo longioribus, petalis breviori- 

 bus ex ovata basi acuminalis aristatis , labello obovato basi angustato

 beris (nunc bidentatis) divergentibus rotundatis. 



B. longiloba Alph. DC, 10 not. pl. rar. Genev. t. L A. (1847.) 

 Flowers among ihe smallest in ihe genus ; according to M. De Candolle with a 

 white lip and green sepals and petals slightly spolted wiih purple. Very distinct in 

 the petals ending in brisile points and in the presence of a distinct awn beneath the 

 point of ihe obovate warted labellum.

 1844, Misc. Nr. 6. L. F. p. 3: 



B. sepalis lateralibus labello duplo longioribus , labello rhombeo 

 undulato pelalis breviore, lamellis laevibus rectis appendice membra- 

 nacea biloba in fronte. 



This is nearly allied to B. caudata , from which it dilTers in its longer petals, in 

 the form of ils lip, and in having two large teeth connecied at their base in front of 

 the lamellae , which are quite smooih. The lip is spotted with brown on a yellow 

 ground. The sepals and petals appear from ihe dried fiower to be unspolled. Re- 

 gePs specimen is much mutilated, but seems to belong bere.
