some Catasetum, apparently Russelliaimm, from Mr. Pass, 

 gardener to Thomas Brocklehurst, Esq., F.H.S., the Fence, 

 Macclesfield ; and a small Oncidium, apparently variegatum, 



the lip ; in the amount of blotching there is, however, some variation in 

 different individuals. They appear closely packed in a secund manner upon 

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

 represents the column and wings magnified, and 2, a magnified tlower from 

 which the columns and upper half of the lip have been removed. The 

 species is very near O. xpilopterum (also called O. gallopavimim), from 

 which it differs in having a branched panicle, sepals and petals larger in 

 proportion to the lip, and a crest more broken up at the base into sliort 

 parallel plates. I am not sufficiently acquainted with the plant to speak of 

 it further.— J. L.
