E, replkatiim ; (Encyclia hymenochila acuta) fioribus dense raceinosis, sepalis oblongo-lanceolatis acutis, petalis 
roUmdatis unguiculatis apiculatis, labelli trilobi lobis lateralibus oblongis subtruncatis apice reflexis intermedio longiore 
crispo rhombeo acurainato lateribus omniiio replicatis. 
A very pretty species, exhibited by Mr, Kucker at the last July meeting of the Horticultural Society, when it 
received a silver Knightian medal. We presume it to be one of Mr. Linden's importations. The racemes were closely 
many-flowered, about 18 inches high. The sepals and petals are dull yellow, stained with brown in the middle below 
the point, but with a yellow border all round ; the former are oblong-lanceolate and acute, the latter are linear below, 
and then spread out into a circular disc, terminated abruptly by a small point. The lip, which is white, streaked with 
pink, is remarkable for the manner in which the two sides are turned downwards, so that their backs actually touch. 
Most nearly allied to E-pidendntm diotitm, a native of the same country. 
444. Oncidium Schljmii. .Linden. A tall rambling Orchidaceous epipliyte, from Central 
America, llowers yellow and brown in November, Introduced by Mr. Linden. 
0, Schlimii; (Plurituberculata) foliis binis rectis ensifonnibus, scapo subscandente racemoso-paniculato racemis 
flexuosis, labello bilobo rotundato basi angustiore auriculato cristse tuberculis quater ternis, columnse alis triangularibus 
utrinque acuminatissiniis. 
We received flowers of this plant last November from the Fence near Macclesfield, where it had produced a scape 
five feet long. It had been purchased by Mr. Brocklehurst at one of Mr. Linden's sales. From dried specimens in our 
Herbarium, collected for Mr. Linden, we learn that it had been found by Funck and Schlim on the 7th of October, 1846? 
in the province of Merida, at the height of 7000 feet above the sea. The pseudobulbs ai-e narrow, and bear a pair of 
sword-shaped thin leaves, from six to nine inches long. The panicle is wavy, weak, inclined to scramble, and bears, at 
intervals of about two and a half inches each, short racemes or imperfect panicles, not longer than the intervals themselves. 
The flowers are rather smaller than in Oncidium reflexum, near which the species will stand ; they are bright yellow, 
slightly and irregularly barred with brown. The peculiar form of the wings of the column — triangular, with the two 
free ends much acuminated and standing higher than the anther itself — renders it easy to identify the species. We 
cannot find that Mr, Linden's name, which we adopt, has been anywhere published up to this time. 
445. Catasetl\m saxgui>'eum. {alias MyantLus sanguineus Linden.) A terrestrial Orcliid^ 
from Central America, with greenish flowers, speckled with brown or dull red. Blossoms in 
October and November. (Fig. 225.) 
C. sanguineum ; (Myanthus) sepalis petalisque oblongis acutis secundis, labello carnoso subrotundo rostrato serrato 
et lacero basi fimbriato fovea alta triangulari in medio. 
This plant is not uncommon in collections under the name of Myanthus sanguimus, by which it has been dispersed 
at Mr. Linden's sales. We received the flower which furnished the annexed figure from Thomas Brocklehurst, 
Esq., of the Fence. Mr. William Pass, tlie gardener there, describes it as a strong- growing species with pseudobulbs 
six or seven inches long, and light glaucous green leaves. The flowers are in a close raceme, not at all handsome, 
notwithstanding the name, for the blood-red spots are quite dimmed by the dull green ground on which they are 
placed. This plant differs from Catasetum saccatum in having much smaller flowers, with the sepals and petals all turned 
upwards, the lip more lacerated than fringed, except quite at the base, and the opening of the pouch triangular without 
ribs instead of beinjj crescent-shaped with verv consnicuons rlpvnf^/^iic ..« *T.« ^'.,ic. r.«vf ih^u^^^
