A very beautiful species, which Dr. Lindley considers as form- 

 ing " one of the most striking of the elongated division of the 

 large genus Epidendrum." The colour of the flowers is a 

 " brilliant vermilion red." The plant is a native of British 

 Guiana, where it was found by M. Schomburgk in his second 

 expedition into the country; and it has blossomed at Messrs. 

 Loddiges's. {Bat. Reg., Oct.) 



+ E. dichotomum. A native of Demerara, found also in the 

 Organ Mountains of Brazil by Mr. Gardner. It has green 

 flowers, and " is remarkable for its hard, wiry, forking stem." 

 {B. M. R., Oct., No. 146.) 



+ E.pionilum hincU. Gen. et Sp. Orch., p. 68. A plant with 

 small capitate flowers, membranous, and slightly tinged with 

 pink. It "flowered with Messrs. Loddiges, who received it, 

 without a name, from the Botanic Garden, Calcutta." [B. M. R., 

 Oct., No. 147.) 



+ CattJeij^hicolor Lindl. Sert. Orch., t. 5. f. 1. "This beau-

"A most curious little epiphyte, a native of Demerara, whence 

 it was obtained by Messrs. Loddiges, with whom it flowered in 

 July, 1837." The flowers are very small and inconspicuous; 

 but, when magnified, appear curiously formed, and beautifully 

 variegated in colour. [Bot. Reg., Oct.) 



-^ Pletirothdllis vittata Lindl. A Mexican species, imported 

 by Messrs. Loddiges, somewhat like P. aphthora, "from which 

 it differs in the perfect smoothness of the sepals on their in- 

 side, in their form and proportion, and in the form of the petals." 

 [B. M. R., Oct., No. 133.) 



+ Diemia cordata Lindl. A native of Mexico, whence it was 

 procured by Mr. Barker. " It is a plant of no beauty." (/?. 

 M. R., Oct., No. 134.) 



+ Cleisostoma \bseum Lindl. " This little plant has small pale 

 straw-coloured flowers, with a pink lip;" and resembles in habit 

 Sarcanthus rostratus. It was sent from Manilla to Messrs. Lod- 

 diges by Mr. Gumming. {B. M. R., Oct., No. 150.)
