SYNONYMY 
That was a noble specimen from which the accompanying figure was taken, — the pseudobulbs 
being fifteen inches long, and the nn stem five feet high. It was produced in the collection 
obert Hanbury, Esq. in May, 184

pseudobulbs are used as trumpets by the Indian children of Honduras; a scene in which they are so 
occupied forms the subject of one of the exquisite wood-cuts in Mr. Bateman’s magnificent work.
