SYNONYMY 
When, in the year 1843, I proposed to establish a new genus upon the Maxillaria au wi 
مس‎ did not occur to me that two new and quite Get Kerg would be added to it in 
course of as many years. Such, however, has been the fact; in the beginning of 1844, this i 
species blossomed with Messrs. Loddiges, and a few months since another appeared in the collection 
of Mr. Rucker. Both the latter are from the Spanish main, and it is not improbable that others may 
lurk in the unexamined forests of that vast region 
Warrea cyanea is remarkable for the intense re colour of its lip, to which it is not 
easy to find a ی‎ lu in the sp for pure blue is scarcely known among Orchids. The plant has 
quite the habit of Warrea tricolor, but is very much smaller in all its parts. [ts most distinctive cha- 
racter is found in the form of its lip, which has a distinct point, and five ribs, not three, near the 
base. Messrs. Loddiges imported it from Colombia, and it is no 860 of their last cata 
eing a 1 species this requires treatment very similar to Phaius maculatus. KS soil best 
suited is turfy heath mould with a mixture of silver sand; nor is it necessary rs have the soil eleva- 
ted above the brim of the pot, for it will not succeed well if the roots are too much exposed. In 
summer it requires an ample supply of water and a moist atmosphere, at a temperature of 80° or 85o 
y day, and about 709 at pes Like all Orchidaceous plants this should be kept rather dry in win- 
ter, and repotted in spring as soon as it shows any symptoms of growth. While in a dormant state 
the temperature should never ge raised above 65° with fire heat.
