GLEANINGS AND OEIGINAL MEMOEANDA 
No. 30, of Galeotri's collection, gathered near Oaxaca^ at an elevation of 3000 feet. We cannot, however, recognise 
it in Professor Achille Richard's brief enumeration of Galeotti's Oi'chida, It is doubtful whether the E, hractescens of 
the Botanical Register (1840), gathered by Hartweg near the same town, is teally distinct notwitlistanding its long leafy 
bracts. Both are closely related to the E, mwohulhon of Hooker, accidentally omitted in the enumeration under t. 30 
of our last volume, E. ovulunij LMianum, and Pastoris, The species is admirably figured in the Botanical Magazine^ 
with the following description : 
" Pseudo-bulbs scarcely exceeding an inch in length, clustered, ovate, quite even on the surface, the youn^rer ones 
more or less sheathed with scales, bearing at their summit two very narrow linear leaves, eight to ten inches long, 
carinate, acute. The scape rises from between the two leaves, and is a foot long, bearing a lax slender graceful panicle 
of from twelve to fourteen flowers. Sepals and petals spreading horizontally, purple-brown, yellowish at the apex, very 
acute. Lip with its base united to the lower part and decurrent with the long column, the sides embracing and 
including the latter, three-lobed, yellowish white, delicately lined and veined with purple ; side lobes oblong, acute 
reflexed j middle lobe large, rotundate, waved at the margin. Column yellow, with blood-red spots, biaurite in front 
near the summit. Anther-case white, with crimson spots."
