Scape a foot and half long , rauch branched , very compact, not ai all flexuose. 

 Flowers exiremely numerous, yellow and oiive , raiher smaller than those of aliis- 

 simuro. A beautiful species.

 scapo apice ramosissimo paniculato, petalis oblongis subundulatis , labello subrotondo 

 bilobo basi auriculaio, cristae luberculis 5— crenatis obiusis, columnae alis rotundis 

 iDtegerrimis. 



Pale yellow flowers in a branched panicle upon a ecape 5 feet high. In its native 

 state the inflorescence is very large. Several fingerlike streaks of brown radiaie from 

 the base of the tuberculated crest, whose elevations are disposed in two tiers, the 

 upper consisting of 5 short wavy ridges and the lower of two with a truncated 4 

 lobed tubercle between them. I do not see, bow 0. Batemanni differs so far as the 

 flg. and description enable me to judge; nothing is said of the native country of thai 

 plant. 



Bot. Reg. XXVL 1840. Misc. 154 : 



A very fine species, which has flowered with Mssrs. Loddiges imported from 

 Gongo Soco in Brazil. It has gay pale flowers in a branched panicle already a foot 

 square, upon a scape 5' high, and in its native stale the inflorescence is much lar- 

 ger. Several finger-like sireaks of brown radiate from the base of the tuberculated 

 crest, whose elevations are disposed in two tiers ihe upper consisling of fine short 

 wavy ridges, and ihe lowerof two, wiih a truncated fourlobed lubercle between 

 tbem. 



Huc: Oncidium Pinelliantm Lindl. Journ. H. Soc. III. 1848. p. XVI: 

 Flowers very bright yellow, with dark brown blotchcs and spots on the sepals, pe- 

 tals and base of the lip, in ihe amount of blotching tliere is howcver some variety 

 in differenilndividuals. They appear closely packcd in a second manner upon the short 

 branches of a small panicle as is shown in the cut, where 1 represents the column 

 and wings magniflcd and 2 a flower from which the column and upper half of the lip have 

 be«Q removed. The epecies is very near spilopierum (also called 0. gallopavinum) 

 from which it differs in having a brunched panicle, sepals and peials larger in pro- 

 poriion to the lip aud a crest morc broken by ai ihc basc into short parallel plaies. 

 I am not sufflcienily acquainied wiih ilie plani to judgc ii further.
