(Kg. 65.) 
A very fine species, with the habit of the other kinds now so common in gardens, but with large bell-shaped flowers 
remarkable for the very deep rich crimson of the veins, which scarcely leave any white perceptible between them or on 
the edges. It is said to be a native of the cold regions of the Andes of N. Grenada, and to succeed perfectly in the open 
air in summer.— Flore des Sevres, t. 551. 
An epiphyte from Nicaragua, with rich apricot-coloured flowers in 
pendent racemes. Belongs to the Orchids. Flowers

A. armeniaca; racemo laxo multifloro, sepalis apiculatis 
lateralibus obliquis apice rotundatis, petalis liberis columna 
duplo brevioribus, labello calceato carnoso apice libero ovato 
piano acuminata intus pone basin crista tuberculata aucto. 
For this curious and really pretty species we are indebted 
to Sir Philip de Malpas Grey Egerton, Bart. It differs from 
the A. Batemanni in its petals being much shorter than the 
column, and perfectly distinct from it, and in the point of the 
lip being undivided, free and flat. There is nothing peculiar 
in its habit ; but its large flowers, coloured like the sunny side 
of a ripe apricot, are very remarkable. 
141. Campylobotrys discolor. Lemaire. A 
handsome dwarf half-shrubby plant, belonging to 
Cinchonads. Flowers rich red in axillary clusters. 
Introduced by M. Van Houtte, of Ghent. (Fig. 67.) 
This appears to be a dwarf soft- 
wooded plant, flowering freely when 
ouly a few inches high, and not ex- 
ceeding a foot in stature. The stems 
are crimson-purple ; the leaves have 
deep rose-coloured stalks, a satiny 
shining surface raised between the 
lateral veins, and a rich tint of 
purple on the under side. The 
flowers are said to form a short 
nodding spike, placed on an axillary crimson 
stalk .or 3 inches long. The corolla is a deep 
rich red.~Fl(yre de* Smtt. t. 427
