0. hfeuiatocLillun, Lindley. — A compact-growing and hand- 

 some plant, similar in habit to 0. Lanceanum. The pseudo- 

 bulbs are absent or obsolete, the short thick fleshy oblong 

 acute dark green red-spotted leaves springing directly from 

 the crown. The scape is radical, deep purple-red, erect, 

 bearing a panicle of moderate-sized flowers, of which the oblong 

 sepals and petals are greenish yellow blotched with bright 

 chestnut, and the transversely reniform lip is of a deep 

 sanguineous crimson, the margin yellow mottled with deep 

 rose crimson, and the claw and basal auricles of a deep 

 magenta rose. This plant is seldom met with in collections, 

 being very scarce. We have seen it very fine in the collection 

 of G. W. Law Schofield, Esq., of Rawtenstall, near Manchester. 

 It blooms in November. — Guatemala.

0. Moclirysum, Bchh. f. — Though long known to botanists,

 beautifully spotted ; the two leaves are thickish ligulate acute, 

 and the flowers are in secund racemes, of a rich golden yellow, 

 set very densely upon the spike, the lip being trifid with the 

 large middle lobe clawed reniform and bilobed. No collection 

 should be without this charming plant, which grows freely in 

 a low temperature. — Peru.

 anterior part with an apiculus, being of a rich deep yellow. The
