266 NEW PLANTS RECENTLY INTRODUCED INTO GARDENS. 



shagq-y in front, with an anther sloping- forward, and a subulate 

 rostel. The pollen masses are four, plano-convex, in pairs at the 

 end of a broad, flat, thin caudicle, furnished on either side with 

 a latei'al tooth. (A singular monstrosity here occurred in the 

 two posterior pollen masses, which had grown together into one 

 by a narrow neck.) 



A remarkable species, the single flowers of which resemble a 

 Lycaste, but their pollen-apparatus and lip-appendage are exactly 

 those of Warrea. Upon this point it may be useful to explain 

 that in Lycaste the caudicle is subulate, and the lip-appendage a 

 truncate plate near the middle lobe of the lip, while in Warrea 

 the caudicle is broad and flat, and the lip appendage ribbed, 

 fringed, and stationed at the very base of the lip, 



9. Cyrtopodium cardiochilum. 



C. cardiochilmn ; racemo multifloro, bracteis ovato-oblongis 

 membranaceis unicoloribus, sepalis petalisque oblongis 

 obtusiusculis his (immaculatis) basi angustatis, labelli sessilis 

 cordati trilobi lobo intermedio cordato rotundato margine 

 tenui subplicato lateralibus acinaciformibus erectis, crista 

 pulvinata serie quintuplici verrucosi.

This beautiful plant exists in gardens as a variety of either 

 C. Andersonii or punctatum, from both of which it is perfectly 

 distinct. The flowers are large and yellow like the first, and 

 they are slightly speckled with crimson like the second ; but there 

 the resemblance ends. At the base of the lip is to be found a 

 convex warted crest unknown in C. Andersonii, and at the end 

 of the lip there is no trace of the tubercles so conspicuous on 

 the edge of C. punctatum. The specimen from which the fore- 

 going definition has been prepared was sent me by R. Hanbury, 

 Esq., in August, 1847. 



10. Oncidium sarcodes. 



0. sarcodes ; panicula racemosa angusta, sepalis liberis obovatis 

 planiusculis, petalis majoribus unguiculatis obovato- 

 spathulatis repaudis, labelli lobis lateralibus nanis serru- 

 latis intermedio maxirao undulato repando emarginato, 

 crista linear! apice biloba tuberculosa pubescente, coluranse 

 pubescentis clinandrio anguste marginato alls carnosis trun- 

 catis glabris.
