Maxillaria lUiacea La Llave et Lexarza nov. veg. descr. 12. 1' high, Mexico »imp. 

 by George Barlier Esq. — The colour of ihe flowers is not a good or pure white, 

 but ihey are delicaiely strealied upon ihe peials wiih lines of raiher pale purple. 



From G. superba it differs not only in colours . but in ihe form of the labell, 

 which is not at all cordate, or chanelled along ihe middle. The flrst notice we 

 have of the existence of ihis species is from Hernandez, who in the Madrid edit. of 

 his work calis it by ihe name of: ..Iztaciepetzacuxochitl Icohueyo.'* It was many 

 years afterwards described and named niore scieniifically by Paul de la Llave and 

 John Lexarza in their Nov. Veg. Descr. These authors state. ihat it is met wiih near 

 Valladolid in Mexico , under the shade of trees or sonieiimes growing over their 

 roots, and llowering the summer months; its vernacular name is Azuzena del Montc.
