 Hah. Banks of the Maranon near Balsas, Peru (on 

 branches of a species of JatrojihaJ ; W. Lobb. 



This fine species is of a delicate cream-white, striped 

 longitudinally by distinct ribands of light brown and dark 

 purple chestnut, without any of iutermediate tint. Im- 

 mediately behind the lip there is more of the dark purple- 

 chestnut, approaching to black, and the interior of the 

 aperture is colom-ed with the same, having a somewhat 

 metallic hue. 



I have the pleasure to name it in honour of Mr. Lobb, 

 botanical collector of Messrs. Veitch & Son, the eminent 

 nurserymen of Exeter, to whose zeal in the pursuit of na- 

 tural history, the species of this, and the two following 

 plates, bear honourable testimony. *
