NEW PLANTS RECENTLY INTEODUCED INTO GARDENS. W3 



is distinguished by having a distinct appendage within the sac ot 

 the labellum, and only a single caudicle for its two pollen masses ; 

 in addition to which tlie flowers appear always to grow in short 

 lateral spikes, not in long erect racemes. The name whicli it 

 bears is that of George Wailes, Esq., of Newcastle-on-Tyne, a 

 gentleman who has for many years occupied himself with the 

 cultivation and scientific study of Orchids, and to whom sucli a 

 compliment has been long due from botanists. 



3. Stanhopea tricornis. 



S. tricornis; ovariis bracteis multo longioribus, petalis carnosis 

 ovalibus convexis oblique ovatis acutis (in icone roseis rectis 

 nee revolutis, an semper ?) ; hypochilio subrotundo sub- 

 depresso intus glanduloso cornubus 2 rectis labello breviore, 

 mesochilio nullo, epichilio lineari-oblongo concavo truncafo 

 sub-3-dentato margine membranaceo dorso valde gibboso 

 basi su^ira cornu recto aucto. 



Native country, Western Coast of Pei-u. 



A very remarkable species, sent to Mr. Skinner by Mr. Warc- 

 siewitz, at one of whose sales it has been dispersed. Tlie figure 

 of tlie lip is most remarkable, there being a tliird horn at the 

 base of tlie middle lobe of the lip in addition to the two always 

 present at the side. In a figure sent home by Mr. Warcsiewitz 

 the petals are represented to be pink and the rest of the flower 

 white ; the petals moreover are very fleshy, firm, and apparently 

 incapable of rolling back as in the rest of the genus, 



4. Angr^cum Pescatoreanum. 



A. Pescatoreanum ; foliis angustis canaliculatis oblique obtusis 

 (lobo altero obsoleto), spicis brevibiis densissimis cylin- 

 draceis, floribus extus nigro-pilosis, labello cuneato truncato 

 trilobo calcare curvo clavato obtuso laminae longitudine. 



Native country, the Island of Bourbon. 



For this I am indebted to M. Pescatore, an eminent banker at 

 Paris, and the jsossessor of the finest collection of Orcliids in 

 France. The flowers are small, seem to have been white, and 

 appear in short dense cylindrical spikes ; the leaves are nearly 

 a foot long, distichous like other Angreks, with a very oblique 

 blunt end. The 2 pollen masses have each a separate caudicle 

 and common gland.
