T. SUavis, Lindley. — A fine species, the thin almost foUaceous 

 pseudobulbs and broad leaves of which very much resemble 

 those of Odo7ito(jlossum grande. The pseudobulbs are mono- 

 phyllous, oblong obcordate, ancipitous, clustered ; the leaves 

 are large and broad, oblong acute wavy and nearly sessile ; 

 and the peduncles three or four-flowered. The flowers are 

 white or creamy white, the lip yellow in the throat, and 

 spotted with pale violet rose on the front part and on the 

 sides ; the sepals and petals are lanceolate acute narrowed to 

 the base, scarcely twisted, the lip closely rolled up at the base, 

 spread out in a funnel-shaped form, and three-lobed in front, 

 the middle lobe being large and emarginate, and the entire 

 edge being minutely crenulate and undulated. The flowers 

 give out a most delicate odour of hawthorn. It blooms in 

 March or April, lasting about two weeks in perfection, and is 

 best grown in the cool house. — Costa liica.

 the type, and are also more highly coloured ; the sepals and 

 petals are white, and the lip, which is upwards of three

 the throat deep orange. — Central Ainerica.
