156 THE HAYTIAN LALIOPS. 
are very different, and the mind is unable to reconcile itself to their union. As to Broucuronta, if 
we disregard its cucullate lip and manifest external adnate spur, there is little to divide it from 
Epidendrum, the majority of whose species have a cuniculate ovary, and in the case of Æ. vesicatum, 
even a spur partially visible ;—or from CarrLEya, except the tough coriaceous quality of the lip 
in that genus, and the adhesion of the sepals of Brovewronta to the face of its external spur. 
Upon grounds of the same nature as those which separate these genera must Lattoests be sustained, 
when the mutual differences among the four genera may be tabulated thus :— 
Labellum calcaratum, sepalis calcari adnatis. BROUGHTONIA. 
Labellum ecalcaratum, cuniculatum tantum. 
iculatum ; ungue sepius columns adnato. § EripENDRUM. 
sessile, convolutum. 
coriaceum imberbe. CATTLEYA. 
membranaceum barbatum. La&.iopsis. 
Laliopsis thus defined will receive, in addition to the species now published, Lelia Londen, 
Broughtonia chinensis, and Epidendrum cubense. 
Leliopsis domingensis was first found on trees in St. Domingo, by Mr. Mackenzie; then Jaeger 
gathered it off branches of the Logwood tree in woods near Miragoane, where he saw it in flower 
in April. It has lately been introduced to our gardens, and exhibited by Messrs. Henderson, of 
Pine Apple Place Nursery, and Mr. Rucker. We owe our opportunity of making a drawing to 
W. F. G. Farmer, Esq., of Nonsuch Park, who sent it us in the course of last summer. 
It is an extremely pretty species, because of its gay lilac flowers a little veined with yellow in 
the middle of the lip. Like other St. Domingo plants it demands all the heat of the stove while 
growing ; but it a to be naturally dried up after the growth is made, if we are to judge from 
our wild specim
