210 NEW AND R.ARE PLANTS. 



Habuanthus pratensis; var.. ijuADuii- i.oi'.A. — Meadow liabmuthus. It is 

 from Chili, and has bloomed with the Hon. William Herbert, Dean of Man- 

 chester. Each flower is about two inches and a half across, of a rich red, with 

 yellow towards the base. A very pretty variety, well deserving a place in every 

 collection of this pretty tribe. 



PhajijS maculatus. — Spotted-leaved. (Bot. Mag. 3960.) Orchidaceae. 

 Gynandria Monandria. A native of India. The flowers are produced in a 

 large terminal raceme, of a pale, but bright yellow, scentless. Sepals and 

 petals tipped with green. Each blossom is about two inches and a half long 

 and two across. The leaves are large, of a glossy green, beautifully spotted 

 with white. 



Primula denticulata. — Tooth-letted Primrose. (Bot. Mag. 3959.) Pri- 

 mulacese. Pentandria Monogynia. This very neat and pretty flowering plant 

 has been introduced by Messrs. Veitcli's, with whom it has bloomed, and who 

 exhibited it at the meeting of the London Horticultural Society, and for which 

 a prize was awarded. It is a native of the mountains bordering on Silhet, and 

 of Nepal, and is so abundant, that no doubt it makes the pastures glow with its 

 purple tint. It is a perennial, the flower-stem rising about eight inches high, 

 bearing a dense, almost globose umbel of many beautiful purplish-lilac flowers. 

 Each blossom is about half an inch across. 



Mormodes lineatum. — Streaked. (Bot. Reg. 43.) Orchidaceae. Gynandria 

 Monandria. A native of Guatemala, discovered by both Mr. Skinner and Mr. 

 Hartweg, who found it among almost inaccessible branches of trees overhang- 

 ing a stream. They state that its powerful fragrance attracted them to its 

 habitation. The flowers are numerously produced in a long raceme. They are 

 singularly distorted, and look as if the labellum and column had their joints 

 broken and then unskilfully set again. Each flower is about two inches and a 

 half across. When first open, they are of an olive-green, marked with brown, 

 but afterwards they become yellow, streaked and marked with reddish-brown. 

 It is of easy culture.

 white eye, and the tube inside is powdered with purple. The flower, though not

 appears to be as fine a species as A. longiflora.

 producing fine panicles of its handsome violet-coloured blossoms in profusion.
