hairs on each side, and there is a crimson wash between the 

 keels. — Borneo. 



Dendrohiiim infimdibulum carneopticum, Fichb. f.—k very 



distinct variety of D. infnndihulum, in which the blotch on 

 the lip, a broad central line, and a few streaks on the sides, are 

 of a pretty flesh colour ; whence, observes Professor Eeichen- 

 bach, "I propose to give it the above mentioned name." 

 He adds, " The Bendrohinm Jamesianmn, Kchb. f. is not dis- 

 tinguished from D. infnndihulwn, Lindl., by the red paint on 

 its lip, but by the side lobes of the lip being covered with 

 asperities, and by the distinct shape of the lip itself." — 

 Burmah. 



Dendrobium nobile Cooksonianum, Bchh. f. — A very curious 



and distinct variety, which when we first saw it we believed 

 to be a malformation, but it has since appeared in other col- 

 lections, and we understand that plants propagated from it 

 are identical with their parent. The sepals of this variety 

 are similar to those of the type, but it is in the petals that 

 the difference is found, these being in reality like two lips 

 flattened out so as to take the form of petals, their markings 

 and their surfaces being identical with those of the lip. — 

 India. 



Epidendrum piytense, Bchh. /. — A very pretty species, 

 with roundish stems, short oblong acute leaves, and racemes 

 of flowers of a most brilliant scarlet-vermilion, the lip orange, 

 spotted with dark vermilion. Introduced by Dr. Wallace. — 

 United States of Colombia. 



GrOTenia SUlplmrea, Bchb. f. — A pretty terrestrial Orchid, 

 with onion-shaped bulbs, and lanceolate acuminate leaves 

 about two inches in breadth, with a dark wine-coloured 

 median rib. The flowers are large, and grow in many- 

 flowered racemes, the sepals being light sulphur-coloured, 

 the petals white on the disk, and sulphur on the margin, with 

 numerous transverse broken purple lines, and the cordate- 

 oblong lip white with the base biplicate, and having some 

 dark brown spots at the apex. — Para<juay. 



HouUetia odoratissima xantMna, Bchh. f. — A yellow form 



of the type, in which the sepals and petals are orange, and 

 the lip sulphur and white, with falcate horns, and a stipitate 

 clavate callus. It is very distinct. — Colomlia.
