Solenidium racemosum : Lindley, in Orchidacee Lindeniane, no. 19. 
AN epiphyte from the forests of New Grenada, near Pamplona, whence it was introduced by 
Mr. Linden ; who states that it grows at the height of 8500 feet, flowering in November. For a 
fresh specimen we are indebted to Robert Hanbury, Esq., of Poles, with whom alone we believe that 
it has flowered.
