ANGULOA CLOWESIT. 



A. Cl0"Wesii, LindUy. — A charming distinct and free- 

 growing species resembling in the shape of its flower a large 

 Tulip. The sepals and petals are bright yellow, the lip pure 

 white or yellow tipped with orange ; it blooms in May, June, 

 and July, and lasts long in perfection if kept in a cool-house. 

 The lip of this plant is very remarkable, being beautifully 

 balanced on a kind of hinge, so that the flower when shaken 

 produces a rattling sound caused by the lip striking the sepals ; 

 the lip is three-lobed, the middle lobe pilose, infundibuli- 

 form-labiate, and tridentate. The flowers are fragrant. — 

 Coloynhia.
