72. Cycnoches bahbatum. Ltnclley. A very prel 
long drooping hairy racemes of yellow flowers spotted 
with Mrs. Lawrence. 
A singular and handsome plant, which appears almost to connect Qongora with this very sportive genus. A young 
plant scarcely exhibits a pseudo-bulb at all, only several imbricating, leafy scales terminated by an oblong-oval" 
acuminated, plaited leaf. When the leaf is fully developed the almost naked pseudo-bulb appears, ovate, compressed' 
green, smooth, with the withered scales at the base. Scape from the base of the pseudo-bulb, a foot long, dark purple' 
pubescent or hairy, jointed, sheathed with scales at the joints ; this is terminated by a drooping many-flowered raceme, 
a foot long, of which the rachis and pediceUike ovaries are dark purple, and hairy. Flowers moderately large, at first 
sight a good deal resembling those of Gmgora maculata, but larger. Lip very hairy or bearded, hanging down, white 
tinged with yellow, and elegantly spotted with deep blood colour.— Botanical Magazine, t. 4479.

A bulb, with narrow, oblong, flaccid leaves, which much resemble those of a Drimia, being mottled with pallid blotches 
upon a dark green ground. The scape is about 6 inches high, and round. The flowers are small, pale ultra-marine 
with very narrow segments, whitish on the lower half. Stamens very short, and delicate. It is no doubt a verv 
distinct species of the genus, the narrow, unstalked, blotched 
leaves being quite peculiar to it But it is not likely to 
possess any interest as an object of beauty.— Journ. Bort.

74. Catasetum warczewitzii. (alias Ware- 
zewitzia. Skinner.) A most fragrant terrestrial 
Orchid from Panama. Introduced by Mr. Skinner. 
Flowers pale green. Discovered by Warczewitz ; 
blossomed 
at Penll 
ergare in April with J. D. 
Llewelyn, Esq. (Fig. 29.) 
C. Warczewitzii, (Monachanthus) racemis brevibus 
densis pendulis, sepalis petalisque subrotundo-ovatis patulis 
incurvis, labelli galea antica basi compressa apice ventricosa 
iobis membranaceis planis lateralibus parvis serratis inter- 
medio bilobo laciniis divaricatis fimbriatis, columna mutica. 
This has found its way into cultivation under the name 
of Warczewitzia, Mr. Skinner having supposed the genus to 
be new, and desiring to give it to the bold and indefatigable 
naturalist who discovered it. We quite agree with Mr. 
Skinner that if patience, and unwearied industry, courage 
that rover quails before danger, and enthusiasm which 
despises difficulty, should give a naturalist a claim to a genus, 
Mr. Warczewitz most eminently has one. But he must 
wait for another opportunity, the plant that was given him 
being undoubtedly a Catasetum, and nearly related to 
C. discolor. As a species it is perfectly distinct from all 
others ; the flowers which grow in a close pendulous raceme, 
consist of roundish ovate sepals and petals, and a helmetted 
iip which spreads into a thin 3-lobed limb, the middle lobe 
of which divides into two diverging fringed halves. They 
are pale green, with bright emerald green veins, and though 
not gaudy are extremely pretty. Their charm consists, 
however, in their delicious fragrance, which is quite equal 
to that of Aerides odoratum^

This appears from a figure received from Mr. Haage of 
Erfurt, to be only a white flowered variety of A. long^ora.
