Disiinguisbed from 0. pelicanum by its smaller flowers ha\ing ihe lip no longer 

 tbdn the sepals aad by the lateral lobes of ihe lip being about as broad as ibe middle lobe. 



Oncid. yielicanum Ilort. Mooac. Bot, Reg. XXVI. (Ib40.) Misc. 216: 



A specinien from Mr, Baleman , who receivcd it from ihe bot. garden of Munich 

 shows ibis plant lo be very closely akin to 0. rellc.xum, from wliith it dilfers prin- 

 cipally in tbe scpals and petals heing less blotched , in the luleral lobes of the lip 

 being snialler in proportioii to thc iniermediale segment, and in tbe tubercles of the 

 cresi, whicli is smooth , not downy, being rather diirerenily arranged, I am unable 

 to judgc how fur it may be enlillcd to rank as a distinct species. The name has 

 (loubile^s been given iii allusion lo ihe column wbich is not unlike a pelican pecking 

 her breast,

Pseudobulbis ovatis sulcatis monopbyllis, foliis anguste lanceolatis 

 aculis, racemis subcompositis multillons, sepalis petalisque linearilan-

 gustioribus, crisla glabra basi conve.xa lunc dentata apice bidenlala, co- 

 Jumnae alis magnis oblongis denticulatis apice acutis. 



Very close akin to 0. reflexum , froin which il dilTers principally in tlie sepals 

 and peials buing lcss blotched , in ibc latcral lobes of ihe lip beiiig smaller in pro- 

 porlion to ihe iiitermedi:Ue segmcnt and in ihe tubercles of ihe crest , which i%

Very likc 0. rcflexum, undcr which name ii was reccived in Mr, KeiTs garden al
