654. ODONTOGLOSSUM PESCATOREI. Linden. 
It now appears that this beautiful plant, figured at Plate 90, had been previously described by Mr. H. G. Reichen- 
bach under the name of Odontoglossum mobile, as has been suggested in the Folia Orchidacea. It was however 
impossible to recognise the description, in consequence of the misprints which it contained ; and we question whether, 
under such circumstances, Mr. Linden’s name can be disturbed. 
655. Momwopxs sPECcIOSUM. Linden. A beautiful stove epiphyte, from Ocaña. Flowers 
deep yellow richly speckled with cinnamon. Introduced by Mr. Linden. 
M. speciosum ;. sepalis petalisque lanceolatis, labelli tripartiti glabri laciniis lateralibus ovatis obtusis intermedia 
acuminata multó brevioribus. 
A very fine species found by Mr. Schlim in New Grenada in the province of Ocafia, at the elevation of 4800 feet, in 
. August, 1852, The appearance is that of the genus generally ; the flowers are three inches in diameter, of a deep 
golden-yellow, speckled all over even to the tip of the column with the rich cinnamon-red. The points of the lip are deep 
purple. is has just flowered at Luxembourg, with Mr. Linden,

Q, 
Mr. H. G. Reichenbach has pointed out to us that the false name of Sophronitis 8 ibed to him by 
transposition of type, at No. 472, is really chargeable upon Hoffmannsegg ; and that the name of S, Hoffmannseggii, another 
false name, should be placed to his father's account, 
657. LeProsrPHON LUTEUM. Bentham. (alias Gilia lutea Steudel.) A Californian hardy 
annual, with gay yellow flowers. Belongs to Polemoniads. Introduced by Messrs. Veitch & Co. 
ig. 314.) 
(Fi 
This brilliant little plant was long since discovered by Douglas, but has only recently been introduced by Messrs. 
Veitch. With the habit of the other species now familiar in gardens it joins very bright yellow flowers, which in one 
variety are as pale as a lemon, in another as dark as an orange. It is perfectly hardy, and demands the same 
treatment as Z. endrosaceus.
