A pretty little epiphyte, sent to Sir Charles Lemon's garden 

 from Guatemala, in 1835. It is cultivated by Mr. Booth, by 

 tying it to the branch of an old apple or pear tree, in a tuft of 

 moss, in a close moist stove, protected from the scorching heat of 

 the sun. {Bot. Reg., May.) 



+ E. asperwn Lindl. This interesting species has recently 

 flowered in the garden of Thomas Harris, Esq., of Kingsbury. 

 (Bot. Reg., Apri'l.) 



•{■ E. chloranthwn Lindl. A green-flowered species, allied to 

 Encyclia viridiflora, a native of Demerara, whence it was sent 

 to Messrs. Loddiges by M. Schomburgk in ? 1837. {Bot. Reg., 

 April.) 



■\- E. pachyanthwn Lindl. A large green-flowered species, sent 

 to Messrs. Loddiges from Guiana by M. Schomburgk. {Bot. 

 Reg., April.) 



-{-E. 2nctum Lindl. resembles E. odoratissimum, with dull 

 yellow flowers, neatly striped with crimson. Received from 

 Demerara by Messrs. Loddiges. {Bot. Reg., April.) 



+ E. smaragdinum Lindl. Closely allied to E. orchidiflorum. 

 Obtained from Demerara by Messrs. Loddiges. {Bot. Reg., 

 April.) 



+ E. varicbsiim Batem. MS. A small-flowered dull-coloured 

 species, from Guatemala, whence it was imported by Mr. Bate- 

 man. {Bot. Reg., April.) 



■\-E. altissirnum Batem. MS. An epiphyte from the Bahamas, 

 in the collection of Mr. Bateman, and also in that of Messrs. 

 Rollisson. It grows in great abundance among rocks, among 

 other pseudo-bulbous epidendra. " At the period of Mr. 

 Skinner's visit, they were in a parched and torpid state; but he 

 was informed by a resident that, during the season of their 

 flowering, they scented the air to an extraordinary and almost 

 insupportable degree. To this excess of sweets, E. altissirnum 

 contributes a powerful odour, resembling bees' wax ; but in po- 

 tency it is far surpassed by another unpublished species from the 

 same quarter, for which I am also indebted to the zeal and li- 

 berality of Mr. Skinner, and which yields a perfume at once 

 delicate and powerful, and so closely resembling that of our wild 

 English primroses, that I have in consequence named it E. pri- 

 mulinum." {Bot. Reg., May.)
